Self-service shift

Customer-care-team-mediated orders dropped from 38% of volume to 9%. The team redeployed to account development and onboarding.

02

Order velocity

Average orders per active cafe rose 27% within six months as the portal made repeat ordering effortless. Average order value also rose 14%.

03

Account retention

Annual cafe churn dropped from 19% to 11%. Customer feedback explicitly cited the portal experience as a reason for staying.

The challenge

Before

Everbrew is a Singapore specialty coffee roaster supplying 420 cafes across Singapore, Malaysia, Indonesia, and Thailand. Their wholesale ordering portal was the largest source of customer-care load — cafe owners struggled to find the right roast for what they were brewing, repeat-order discovery was awkward, delivery-date selection felt arbitrary, and pricing for the cafe's tier was inconsistent with what they had been quoted at onboarding. The customer-care team was spending more time fixing orders than building accounts.

  • 420 wholesale cafe accounts across four countries on awkward ordering portal
  • Customers struggling to find right roast for their brewing method
  • Repeat-order discovery requiring searching back through order history
  • Delivery-date selection feeling arbitrary, with frequent rebooking requests
  • Pricing inconsistencies between portal and onboarding quote
  • Customer-care team spending more time fixing orders than building accounts
  • No way to see brew-method recommendations on origin pages
  • Account managers unable to suggest products without phoning customers

The solution

What we built

We redesigned the wholesale portal around how cafes actually buy coffee. Coffees are presented with brewing-method recommendations, current cupping notes, and freshness signals up front. Repeat orders are surfaced as a one-tap option from the cafe's order history with adjustment for any product no longer available. Delivery-date selection shows the roastery's actual schedule — when the next roast for that bean is, when the truck runs to that route — so the customer can choose with full information. Tier pricing is consistent across portal, quote, and invoice; the customer always sees their tier displayed. Account managers have an in-portal lens where they can prep suggestions for a customer call. The whole portal is mobile-first because most cafe owners place orders from their phones, often in transit between locations.
