Jiří Panec
Founder and chief architect of ProfiBrew
ProfiBrew is the intersection of two professional tracks — ERP architecture built on 20 years in enterprise systems, and domain logic built on real-world brewing practice.
20 years in enterprise information systems
My whole career has been in ERP and enterprise IT. I worked my way through roles from implementation consultant through project lead to management positions running sales and implementation teams. For the past 8 years I've focused on product development of Helios and Vision — product strategy, architecture, prioritisation and release management.
Process experience across segments
I've worked with customers across the spectrum from small companies to enterprise, in different industries (production, distribution, services). From a process perspective I have deep experience with sales and CRM, logistics and stock management, production management, and finance and controlling. These four areas form the core of any ERP — and all four are covered by ProfiBrew.
10+ years of brewing practice
In parallel with my ERP career I've been brewing beer for over ten years. I built three generations of my own brewing equipment (brewhouse control via CraftBeerPi) and run the whole operation with systematic records — recipes, brews, batches, sales simulations. I know the brewing process from the inside — I know what a recipe looks like, what needs to be tracked, how the steps chain together and where real-world problems arise. ProfiBrew isn't built from theory but from my own daily practice of keeping beer records.
ProfiBrew is a synthesis
ERP architecture grounded in 20 years of enterprise experience, domain logic grounded in real brewing practice. Neither competence on its own would be enough — this combination is rare in brewery information systems.
