Overview

Since 1996, Peace Coffee has been firmly rooted in the business of responsible and sustainable partnerships with each link in the journey that these beautiful coffees take. They purchase only organic, fair trade coffees from small-scale grower cooperatives that invest in their farmers to combat unstable markets and shifting climates. The team consists of starry-eyed dreamers who believe in bicycle-power, being nice, and bringing neighbors, farmers, and the community together. They believe that collaboration works wonders, and that passion and honesty, and a really great cup of coffee can make the world a better place. And when that coffee is sustainably grown and freshly roasted to bring out the best in every bean, well, that’s when the real magic happens.

Business Challenge

Before adopting Organimi, Peace Coffee had experimented with various software solutions, including Microsoft Word and ChartHop. However, these platforms fell short in meeting their requirements. While Word necessitated manual chart creation, ChartHop lacked satisfactory export options. Their HRIS system’s org chart feature was cumbersome and lacked a comprehensive company-wide view. With a need to simplify the process of creating and maintaining org charts, Jenny Wine, HR Specialist at Peace Coffee, sought a solution that offered seamless data import capabilities and user-friendly functionalities.

Organimi makes it easy to visualize departments, understand who can help with a certain project, and identify who I need to reach out to. It provides great visibility of the company structure.
