Evolution

QBE was one of the first clients globally to adopt TopBrewer as the standard beverage solution for all staff and visitor areas in the workplace due to its flexible design, advanced technology, and social aspect. Since then, the TopBrewer experience has evolved at a pace, with many free upgrades enhancing the user experience. Internationally, Scanomat continues to grow at great speed and is developing new, cutting-edge beverage solutions for workplace, retail and hospitality markets.

Simon Bracken, Co-Founder and Managing Director at Scanomat UK & Ireland comments: "We position ourselves as much more than coffee machine providers; we believe in working in partnership to provide a premium and personalised coffee experience that elevates the workplace into a collaborative destination."

Equally, the relationship between Scanomat and QBE has evolved. Initially, Scanomat provided a fully managed barista service to QBE which involved re-filling and maintaining the commercial machines daily, but over time QBE were able to expand their in-house catering department to be able to manage the TopBrewer fleet internally, with continued regular barista support visits and training from the Scanomat team.

Giuseppe adds; "My experience working with the Scanomat team is like working with a small family-run business and we still work with much of the same personnel today as we did from day one. I have been impressed with the response times, comprehensive level of service, and personalised barista support they provide."
