Understanding which service fits your situation

These services address different operational needs. Here's guidance on selecting the right starting point.

Start with Technology Integration if:

  • • Your current systems don't communicate with each other
  • • Manual data consolidation consumes significant weekly time
  • • Staff training takes longer than it should due to system complexity
  • • You're planning multi-location expansion
  • • Customer data exists in multiple disconnected places

Start with Cold Brew Development if:

  • • You have ideas for packaged products but lack formulation experience
  • • Previous product attempts showed quality degradation over time
  • • You need documentation suitable for manufacturing partners
  • • You're entering ready-to-drink category from roasting or café operations
  • • Regulatory requirements for packaged beverages feel unclear

Start with Market Intelligence if:

  • • You're evaluating expansion into new Asian markets
  • • Strategic decisions require understanding of regional competitive dynamics
  • • Available research doesn't address your specific markets or segments
  • • You need ongoing monitoring of regulatory or consumer changes
  • • Investment decisions depend on regional coffee market trends

Combining services

Many businesses use multiple services as their operations evolve. A café implementing POS systems might later develop cold brew products. A roaster entering RTD category might subscribe to market intelligence for distribution planning. Services work independently but complement each other when your situation requires broader support.

If you're uncertain which service best addresses your current situation, initial conversations help clarify this. We'll ask questions about your operations and recommend the most appropriate starting point.
