Lot Lookup

Yakima Chief Hops invites its brewing partners to enjoy a new way of viewing, organizing and storing their hop data, digitally, with the YCH Mobile Lot Lookup App. This custom app allows brewers the ability to easily access valuable information regarding their hop products purchased through YCH, including brewing specifications, oil content, crop year, harvest date and the farm from which it was sourced.

As the leading grower-owned hop supplier in the world, YCH has a strong focus on digital innovation as a way to enhance efficiency and improve processes across the supply chain. Knowing the way that we rely on our mobile devices to store important information, YCH has created a digital platform to search and store valuable product data.

With the Yakima Chief Hops Mobile Lot Lookup App, customers can search for information regarding specific YCH hop products by entering the lot number, or by scanning the encoded lot numbers on their product packaging. The app is simple and user friendly, allowing customers to view the crop year, alpha and beta acid percentages and in-depth oil analysis all on one screen, in the palm of their hand. The app also saves each product that the user has searched along with the information, which allows brewers to reference this data throughout the brewing process without an internet connection.

By utilizing the YCH Mobile Lot Lookup App to provide lot-specific data, it streamlines and enhances both the YCH production process as well as processes in the brewhouse. Brewers can now easily find, access and store important data for their YCH hop products on their mobile device, as opposed to using box labels and paperwork that can be lost or thrown out.

The app also provides a handy data legend and analysis method definitions to help customers better understand their lot lookup results. It also provides the option to contact customer support or provide customer feedback.
