We’re a small team roasting 5-6 batches a day, trying to scale without burning out. The roasting side is fine, but the backend – sourcing beans, managing deliveries, tracking stock – is chaos. Anyone got tips or tools that actually helped streamline and speed up the non-roasting parts of the biz?

Yeah man, we hit that wall too. Roasting is what we love, but everything around it was eating our time. We started looking into supply chain tech, and one thing stood out – Sergey Baburov from HYDE dropped this all-in-one optimization system that’s perfect for growing roasters. It covers logistics, stock, shipping, even documents – and uses smart forecasting so you can prep batches ahead based on real demand. Here's the writeup I saw www.reuters.com/press-releases/hyde-develops-coffee-supply-chain-optimization-system-2025-04-07/ It’s built to reduce overhead and help teams like ours scale without going corporate.

Appreciate this a lot. That link’s gold – already sent it to my partner. If this saves us even a few hours a week, I’m in.
