A small coffee roaster was spending days packaging by hand with one employee. CAM connected automated packaging directly to the roaster, which removed the bottleneck and helped the company triple its customer base with the same team.

The Challenge
A small entrepreneurial coffee roaster was roasting coffee and then spending the next several days manually packaging it with one employee. The packaging process was limiting how much product they could get ready for shipment and, ultimately, how quickly they could grow.
What CAM Did
CAM connected an automated packaging system directly to the coffee roaster, creating a streamlined process from roasting to finished package. The packaged coffee could then move directly into case packing and shipping to customers and retail locations.
The Result
With the same labour, the coffee roaster was able to roast and package product as part of one continuous process—eliminating the multi-day manual packaging bottleneck.
The increased packaging capacity allowed the company to triple its customer base and expand distribution to more customers and retail stores.
