Tri-Bry
Brews Up New Web Portal for Ammirati
The growth of the coffee industry over the past
10 years has been unprecedented; specialized brews
are in vogue and suppliers and importers of all
sizes are reaping the benefits.
Ammirati is a Mount Vernon, NY based importer
of La Cimbali espresso machines and Lavazza espresso
coffee and they are considered the fourth largest
importer in the United States. A family owned
business started in 1963; Ammirati has seen its
business grow with the coffee buzz.
With growth come new demands, expectations and
opportunities. Looking to seize the moment, Ammirati
engaged with Tri-Bry to develop a web portal that
would enhance their image, showcase their products
and grow to become a customer service portal.
New Image Reflected in New Company Website
Ammirati got down to work with Tri-Bry's web designers
to deliver a new website that reflected the breath
and depth of company's expertise in delivering
high quality coffee products. Ammirati brought
many ideas to the table for Tri-Bry's design team
to work with including samples of websites they
liked and functionality they wanted incorporated
into their redesign.
Tri-Bry's designers we able to collaborate with
Ammirati to find a design that reflected both
the company's modern image but also took into
consideration their history. The team redesigned
the company's logo to tie in with sophisticated
look of the new website. The current Ammirati
site is a highly functional web portal for existing
and potential customers with easy to navigate
menus and visually appealing icons.
The Tri-Bry design team was also able to seamlessly
incorporate important highly detailed schematic
drawings of Ammirati's coffee machines into the
design. These drawing are an important resource
for customers who often take apart their machines
for cleaning and require the drawing to often
reassemble the machines.
Web Based Customer Service on Tap
Ammirati also understood that the web not only
provided a marketing opportunity but a chance
to differentiate on customer service in an increasingly
competitive marketplace. Ammirati engaged with
Tri-Bry's consultants to design a web-based application
that allowed Ammirati to dispatch service technicians
anywhere across the US in a matter of hours.
The system is a self-service application which
allows customers to log on through the Ammirati
website and report problems they are having with
their coffee equipment. Once the problem is logged
the application assigns the request a unique identifier
and alerts the Ammirati customer service staff
of the request. The application tracks the request
from inception to resolution allowing Ammirati
to ensure it is meeting customer expectations.
Growing Doesn't Have to Be Painful
Tri-Bry collaborated with Ammirati at crucial
juncture in the 40 year old company's history.
The Tri-Bry team was able to assess the business
needs of Ammirati and apply innovative technology
solutions to smooth over their growing pains.
