Company Background & Mission
Moersleutel is a fast-growing craft brewery based in the Netherlands. Founded in 2016 by four brothers, they brew big, bold and flavorful beers made with the finest ingredients.
Moersleutel beers are regularly rated by experts as some of the best in the world. They include a range of popular beer styles including Motor Oil, their flagship imperial stout, Macaroon Machine, their sweet stout, and Crank the Juice, a Hazy IPA.
The Moersleutel story is an interesting one. The four brothers, who just finished their technical studies, wanted to prove they were better than their dad at everything, but mostly at brewing beer. Their Dad dared them to prove their claim and let them have a go at the small brewery he owned. The brothers were relentless at experimenting with beers until they perfected their craft. That’s the difference between brewers and true Beer Engineers!
Thinking big, Moersleutel now has plans for global coverage and distribution across the world.
Business Challenges
With aggressive growth plans, Moersleutel needed to be able to scale their commercial operations by:
- Connecting HQ planning to field execution: They need to be able to ensure that their route-to-market strategy and plans are actually executed in the field.
- Driving sales team productivity: They need to ensure their newly hired sales reps are productive in the field and can execute the right tasks with customers, even when offline.
- Understanding what’s working in real-time: They need to have the reporting capabilities to understand what’s working in the field and make adjustments when needed.
