About The Customer
The primary customers of SFUSO are individuals who enjoy dining out and drinking wine, but who may lack the knowledge to confidently select wines from extensive restaurant wine lists. These individuals value the convenience of having a personal wine advisor in their pocket, guiding them in their wine selection based on their personal tastes and meal choices. The app also appeals to those who enjoy drinking wine at home, offering the convenience of home delivery and personalized wine recommendations. The app's ability to learn from each user's habits and preferences over time ensures a personalized and improved experience with each use.
The Challenge
SFUSO was founded by Luca Agea, a UX/UI designer with a background in startup development. The challenge that SFUSO aimed to address was the common frustration experienced by diners when presented with extensive wine lists at restaurants. Many diners lack the knowledge to effectively pair wines with their meals, often resorting to familiar choices rather than exploring new options. This issue is not limited to restaurant settings, as many individuals also struggle with wine selection at home. The goal of SFUSO was to provide a solution that would guide users in their wine selection, both at restaurants and for home delivery, based on their personal tastes and meal choices.
The Solution
SFUSO developed a smart sommelier app, built on the Bubble platform, that acts as a personal wine advisor for users. The app guides users through a revolutionary menu interaction experience, providing step-by-step assistance with food and wine selection for each course. The app also learns about the user's tastes and habits with each use, improving its recommendations over time. In addition to providing wine pairing advice at restaurants, the app also offers home delivery services. Users receive notifications with special offers for wines similar to those they have previously ordered, and they can purchase these directly through the app. The app was designed to be cost-effective and flexible, built in a third of the usual time and at a fifth of the usual cost thanks to the Bubble platform.

For 2012 campaign, the Bond promotion, it planned to launch the campaign at the same time everywhere on the planet. That created unprecedented challenges for HEINEKEN—nowhere more so than in its technology operation. The primary digital content for the campaign was a 100-megabyte movie that had to play flawlessly for millions of viewers worldwide. After all, Bond never fails. No one was going to tolerate a technology failure that might bruise his brand.Previously, HEINEKEN had supported digital media at its outsourced datacenter. But that datacenter lacked the computing resources HEINEKEN needed, and building them—especially to support peak traffic that would total millions of simultaneous hits—would have been both time-consuming and expensive. Nor would it have provided the geographic reach that HEINEKEN needed to minimize latency worldwide.

Temperature Monitoring for Restaurant Food Storage
When it came to implementing a solution, Mr. Nesbitt had an idea of what functionality that he wanted. Although not mandated by Health Canada, Mr. Nesbitt wanted to ensure quality control issues met the highest possible standards as part of his commitment to top-of-class food services. This wish list included an easy-to use temperature-monitoring system that could provide a visible display of the temperatures of all of his refrigerators and freezers, including historical information so that he could review the performance of his equipment. It also had to provide alert notification (but email alerts and SMS text message alerts) to alert key staff in the event that a cooling system was exceeding pre-set warning limits.
