The Challenge

When working with clients and customers, Mike accumulated piles of paper of his cupping or quality report. It finally becomes quite inefficient to collect and manage all these data. Mike also could not sort these notes without wasting too much time consolidating reports.

The Solution

Mike was told about Tastify in 2017 and he signed up for a trial. He then realized having digital cupping tool and workspace like Tastify can help he work more efficiently and teach coffee to his clients more effectively.
