About the company
Andersen's customer, in this business case, was a major brewing company. It is one of the world's chief producers and marketers of various beverages. As of now, the group takes pride in an extensive portfolio of hundreds of beers and ciders. These products are promoted and sold internationally, regionally, and locally, complemented by a selection of specialty options. Determined to keep on growing, the company realized the need for an innovation management solution. This was expected to be a web-based app capable of helping to gather employees' ideas, wishes, and proposed solutions, maintain internal collaboration, and transform initiatives into full-fledged products. For this purpose, our team of custom web developers was chosen, as we have served multiple large-scale enterprises and possess an impressive track record.
