Who

Roasters selling wholesale to cafes, with or without their own shop.

The problem today

Green coffee comes in lots, roasting loses weight, and every wholesale account wants its own price and its own grind.

The screens only this trade gets

The tools of your trade, not a generic form.

On top of the accounting, sales, stock and people every business gets, this is what Orbit adds for your work.

Green lots

Receive green coffee in lots and track what you hold, so the cost per kilo of the roasted bean starts from a real number.

Roast batches with yield

Log each roast against a green lot and Orbit accounts for the weight lost in the roast, giving you the true cost of the finished bean.

Grinder dial-in

Keep the dial-in for each account and blend, so the wholesale customer gets the same grind every time.

Wholesale accounts

Every cafe on its own price list, its own bags and its own delivery, billed from the same system that holds the roast.

Answers

Questions people in your trade ask.

Is there coffee roastery inventory and batch tracking software?
Yes. Orbit receives green coffee in lots, logs each roast batch against a lot, and tracks the roasted bean and the bags that come from it, so you can trace a wholesale delivery back to the green it started as.
How do I account for roast weight loss?
Log the green weight in and the roasted weight out on each batch. Orbit records the loss and works the cost per kilo of the roasted bean off the yield, so your wholesale price is built on the real cost, not the green cost.
