Setting Up Alerts
Utilize the alerts feature to set up alerts for a variety of metrics, with a few varying options on delivery. Keep in mind that Alerts are customizable to each user so they can be set up for the users that need it the most.
Using the Filter Tool
Utilize SmartBar’s filter tool to help refine the data you want to be displayed, thus better identifying specific trends, and potential inventory issues, and making navigation easier.
Line Clean Functionality
Draft pours are monitored and measured using flow meters so to avoid diminishing the accuracy of your pour data with a cleaning solution, SmartBar allows you to easily deactivate the yield metering function before or after cleaning.
Product Management
The product management widget is in essence, the heart of the SmartBar. Using this widget properly can easily save you several hours of unnecessary work and lay down the path to ensure accurate reporting, insights, and ultimately increased profitability.
Yield Management
To get the most out of your SmartBar system, maintaining your inventory and using the product management widget is key. If the product management widget is properly used, you will be set to receive accurate reports, can monitor brand performance and get insights that can help optimize your business. While the product management widget is important, it is just as important to be able to confidently review and understand your yield data. Knowing what each variance represents and setting up alerts to automatically get a variance report will greatly help optimize your system.
