Here’s What They Say:
“We have been very pleased with our working relationship with Daruma Tech as well as with the quality of our Texas Brewery Explorer app. Originally intended as a promotional tool to increase business at brewery member taprooms, we found that launching the app during a pandemic has helped keep fans connected to local craft breweries during a difficult time. The team at Daruma Tech has been great to work with and very flexible. They have pivoted with us as we watched the world change, and we couldn’t be happier to have them as a partner on this critical member benefit.”
Charles Vallhonrat, Executive Director, Texas Brewery Passport“Please accept my highest recommendation of Daruma Tech for their abilities to develop functionalities that will drive craft beer drinkers to drink local, visit local and grow the craft beer community. As Executive Director of the Washington State Beer Commission for the past 11 years I have worked with many companies in an effort to grow awareness, engage with consumers directly, and share our craft beer story. No company has had a more positive impact on those marketing efforts than Daruma Tech.”
Eric Radovich, Executive Director, Washington State Beer “Daruma Tech’s expertise and strong reputation creating apps made them a natural choice to build our Grow and Fortify app as Daruma Tech came highly recommended to build a truly impactful experience for the consumer and the included businesses. Daruma Tech’s track record of success in supporting its clients’ marketing efforts was another major selling point. In addition, the app will support both businesses and consumers navigating the challenges of COVID-19.”
Jim Bauckman, Communications Director, Maryland Grow & Fortify“Their attention to detail, customer support, and availability has made working with them a sincere pleasure, and we’re happy to have them as our partners in this effort every day. We look forward to working with them more as our app continues to evolve over time, because we know that whatever we dream up, they will find a way to make it happen.”
Paul Leone, New York State Brewers Association“We are really proud of the platform we have built and the experience both locals and tourists can get from engaging with the Vermont Brewery Challenge.”
