About Costa Express

Costa Coffee is a British coffeehouse chain, founded in London in 1971. Costa introduced its innovative Costa Express machines in 2011, which were rolled out across the UK in a variety of locations. These state-of-the-art self-serve coffee bars combine Costa’s freshly ground Signature Blend beans, real milk and cutting-edge technology to deliver delicious drinks on-the-go.

The Challenge

Costa Express machines are state-of-the-art self-serve coffee bars, powered by Internet of Things (IoT) technology. As an agile organisation, Costa Express must advance continually to keep pace with the demands of the market and new opportunities for growth. But it faced challenges in sourcing tech talent – and finding it fast enough to meet the company’s needs.

The Solution

One Beyond provides expert technical staff through our Dedicated Development Teams service. We’ve worked on architecture and systems, helping Costa Express to evolve its infrastructure towards next-generation technology. Costa Express can now focus more time on delivering great coffee and a satisfying customer experience.
