When purchasing professional coffee machines, networking is playing an increasingly important role. Coffee machine manufacturer Schaerer is one of the pioneers in the industry when it comes to digitalizing coffee machine operations. With the Schaerer Prisma, the company is now adding a customizable API (application programming interface) to its digital toolbox that makes it possible to easily connect Schaerer coffee machines to customer-specific apps, software solutions and systems (e.g. CRM or ERP). “The Schaerer Prisma opens up almost unlimited possibilities for our customers to use digital functions to improve their coffee operations. Some examples are connecting to apps for ordering and payment as well as creating loyalty programs and operating coffee machines in unmanned convenience stores”, explains Sandro Bianchi, Product Manager of Schaerer AG. In addition to its ability to adapt to individual IT infrastructures and customer requirements, the Schaerer Prisma also functions as a local connection that enables significantly faster data transfer than cloud-based APIs, since the time for sending data between cloud and coffee machine is omitted.
