Rostoc is a coffee roasting software platform that connects directly to a roastery's existing machines to log roast data, manage green coffee inventory, and link batches to production plans. It replaces fragmented spreadsheets and loggers with a unified workspace that keeps every roast traceable from green lot to finished batch. The platform supports integrations with machines like the Aillio Bullet, Diedrich, and Mill City roasters via USB or Phidget connections.

Problem
Coffee roasteries often lose information between the tools they use: green coffee stock lives in a spreadsheet, roast curves live in a separate logger, and batch records rely on memory until the end of the week. This fragmentation makes it difficult to trace a finished batch back to the green lot that fed it, track inventory accurately, or maintain consistent roast quality over time.
Solution
Rostoc connects directly to the roaster a business already owns, reading bean and environmental temperature, rate of rise, and machine status data over the connection the roaster exposes. It logs each roast against a reusable roast plan that carries the machine setup, target weights, and profile, so recurring production runs start from the same definition every time. Green coffee lots are received into a warehouse with a transaction trail, roast plans specify what will be roasted and on which machine, and finished batches automatically deduct from the lot that fed them. The platform keeps roast history searchable and lets roasters compare batches to a reference curve to catch drift early and maintain consistency.
Target Audience
Primary customers are small to established commercial coffee roasteries, including single-machine home roasters and multi-machine production facilities, that need integrated roast logging, green coffee inventory, and production planning in one tool.
