coffeeBatch Scale for Coffee roasters
Run every roast from green lot to repeat customer.
Batch Scale gives specialty coffee roasters one operational path for green-bean purchasing, roast planning, packaged inventory, subscriptions, cafe demand, wholesale orders, and margin.
A strong fit for
Independent roasters balancing green lots, roast profiles, freshness, subscriptions, cafe demand, and wholesale accounts.
A focused operating review—not a generic feature tour. No purchase required.
See green inventory, roast demand, packaged yield, and channel margin as one operating decision.
Green lot to roast plan
Know which lots are available, approved, and needed before scheduling the roaster.
Roast result to packaged yield
Turn actual roast output into trustworthy bag and bulk inventory.
Demand to production
Combine recurring and one-time demand before committing capacity.
The cost of disconnected work
If these keep happening, growth is adding work instead of control.
The problem is rarely one bad spreadsheet. It is the gap between a product decision and every purchasing, production, inventory, customer, and margin decision that depends on it.
Green coffee cost and availability change by origin and lot.
Roast loss changes finished yield and cost per sellable bag.
Freshness windows complicate make-to-stock and make-to-order planning.
Cafe, subscription, online, and wholesale demand compete for the same roasted inventory.
The connected mechanism
Change the source record once. Let the workflow carry the decision.
For coffee roasters, that means connecting these specific operating paths—not forcing the business into a generic inventory template.
