About Ekos
Ekos, founded in 2014, is a business management software company tailored specifically for craft producers such as breweries, wineries, and distilleries.

Ekos serves small to medium-sized craft producers who need to streamline their operations, manage inventory, track sales, and gain insights into their costs and business metrics. Ekos makes money through a subscription-based business model, where clients pay for access to its software platform. The platform offers various features including dashboards, custom reports, and centralized communication hubs to help craft producers improve their margins by 10-15%, increase sales, and better understand their cost of goods sold (COGS). With a team of 50 members and over 17,000 users, Ekos has established itself as a vital tool for craft producers looking to modernize their operations and achieve greater efficiency.
