Customer Profile

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.
