How FOBOH Brews Up Success by Automating Order Management Processes

10 Apr 2025

Segment: Manufacturer - Brewery

Agent Deployed: Alan

In the fast-paced world of craft brewing, efficiency is everything. When demand skyrockets, the last thing a business needs is to be bogged down by slow, error-prone order management. 

That’s exactly the challenge this fast-growing brewery faced — until they found FOBOH.

The Challenge: A Growing Brewery Bottlenecked by Manual Orders

This brewery has quickly become a major player in the local craft beer scene. Known for its commitment to weekly limited-edition releases and a beloved core range of favourites, demand was never the issue — keeping up with it was.

The Australian Christmas and summer season means demand for craft beers is high. As this busy period approached, their order management system was running on borrowed time. Processing orders manually meant delays, errors, and a stretched-thin team

They had two choices: expand their workforce during peak season or find a smarter way to handle orders. Enter FOBOH.

The FOBOH Fix: AI That Works Like a Pro

Rather than spending time and money hiring seasonal staff, the brewery turned to FOBOH’s AI ordering copilot, Alan

Within just four weeks, the transformation was undeniable:
  • 24/7 Order Processing: Alan handled orders from emails, PDFs, CSVs, and even images, cutting out tedious manual entry

  • Intelligent Recognition: With 280+ product names, codes, and customer profiles, Alan accurately deciphered orders, even with the occasional typo 

  • Seamless NetSuite Integration: As orders flowed directly into NetSuite with one click,the team gained hours back every day.

  • Fewer Costly Errors: Alan automatically handled complex pricing, identified bonuses, converted units on the fly, and managed stock levels, speeding up fulfilment 

The Bottom Line: More Time, Happier Customers

The results spoke for themselves:
  • 70% less time spent on order management per month

  • 85% time saved on seasonal and limited-release orders

  • 50% of order errors slashed for happier customers and fewer costly surprises
