Customer Profile
Cornelius is the world’s leading supplier of beverage dispense and cooling equipment. They manufacture and market an extensive line of beverage dispense systems for beer, juices, teas, drinks and more. Starbucks operates as a roaster, marketer, and retailer of specialty coffee in 65 countries.
Business Situation
Cornelius was hired to develop a new beverage machine for Starbucks, but found there was not a system for tracking and reporting on equipment service data. Service data was typically reported to Starbucks by equipment service providers via Excel spreadsheets with reporting done manually.
