About
Clorofile is a comprehensive, cloud-based ERP solution tailored exclusively for coffee and cocoa roastery businesses. Unlike generic roasting software, Clorofile covers the full operational lifecycle — from production planning and roast profiling to customer invoicing, warehouse logistics, and employee management — all within one unified platform. The platform connects to over 700 roasting machine models with offline-first roast profiling, ensuring roasters can capture accurate data even without a stable internet connection. Production and scheduling tools allow teams to plan roasting runs based on live orders and machine capacity, minimizing downtime and waste. Quality control is deeply integrated: users can log cupping notes and scores, link them directly to roast profiles and stock batches, and compare quality across different lots using the Quality Compare feature. Inventory management spans multiple warehouses with per-location stock reports and full history tracking. On the business side, Clorofile handles order management, quotations, auto-generated invoices, purchase orders, supplier tracking, and credit notes. It includes a simple Point of Sale (POS) system for retail transactions, a full accounting module with journal entries and reconciliation, and an HR module covering onboarding, contracts, and staff training. Clorofile is ideal for independent artisan roasters scaling operations, mid-sized roasteries managing multi-channel sales, and enterprise roastery groups needing centralized oversight. Pricing starts affordably with a free trial available, making it accessible to businesses at various growth stages.
