Brewing Innovation with SAP BTP: Inside Our Coffee App

From AI-powered custom labels to seamless order management—how Inomic blends coffee passion with cutting-edge cloud technology.

As a passionate coffee aficionado and CEO of Inomic, I’ve long wanted to blend our love for coffee with cutting-edge technology. One ordinary morning, while enjoying my espresso, the idea struck me: why not build a web app that not only handles orders but also delights users with AI-powered features? And so our Coffee App was born—a practical showcase of how quickly you can build a full-featured application on the SAP Business Technology Platform (BTP). 

A Story That Hits the Spot

Imagine your office filled with the aroma of freshly roasted beans—and before your team’s first meeting, everyone has already placed their personalized coffee order through the app. Every tap feels as natural as your morning ritual. What sets us apart is that we print a AI-generated label on every bag of coffee beans—whether it’s your name, your favorite blend, or a witty slogan. Give it a try and see for yourself!
