Anheuser Busch extends its Office Bud-e to Washington D.C.
The Office Bud-e is an advanced and fully-stocked premium office refrigerator that arrives at the office ready to work and filled with up to 180 different beers. “It’s the greatest advancement in corporate culture since the invention of the water cooler,” A-B says..
Developed by Anheuser-Busch in conjunction with Buzz Connect, a full service product design and manufacturing company, Office Bud-e is now exclusively available in the metropolitan areas of Washington DC, Chicago and New York.
Each Office Bud-e comes equipped with the latest in WiFi connectivity to ensure the office is ready for any occasion.
A-B says with Millennials entering the workforce attitudes have shifted toward a positive, more relaxed workplace environment.
“Part of our dream at Anheuser Busch is to bring people together, and the Office Bud-e fridge helps to do just that. As workplace culture continues to become more social, the Office Bud-e acts as the new age “water cooler” supporting in-office events and promoting employee engagement,” says Andrew Green, A-B’s Director of Strategy & Innovation.
Using a smart sensor spring system and a simple Wifi connection, the Office Bud-e monitors in real time the quantity of beers in stock at any moment. When inventory begins to run low, this smart fridge connects to local delivery services to re-stock the supply, employing the latest innovations in digital tracking. With the option to set up automatic orders or simply send the office manager e-reminders to reorder via the Anheuser-Busch web portal, Office Bud-e seamlessly delivers office luxury with ease.
