CASE STUDY
Dorchester Brewing Company delivers with Metrobi.
“How Dorchester Brewing Company partnered with Metrobi to start wholesale and consumer deliveries.”
Without Metrobi, we wouldn’t be able to reach as many customers so easily and provide a flexible delivery option. We are also now selling to wholesale accounts. We did not have access to that earlier because we had no delivery system. In one day, we sold dozens of cases to venues. They will be coupled with the other consumer deliveries keeping overall delivery costs down. This is a great model for us.
About Dorchester Brewing Company
DBco was created by a team of Boston professionals in 2016 with an unnatural love of craft beer, to meet production demands for the local craft beer industry while supporting the economic development of Dorchester. DBco’s 30K sq. foot brewery with a 10K sq. foot taproom is filled with in-house beers as well as wine, cider and partner beers on tap.
To get through this tough time, and to ensure the health and safety of everyone, we enabled online beer ordering. All tips go to the bartenders and all to-go beer sales goes towards paying DBco employees.
Delivery was really stressful
Initially, we did the deliveries ourselves, one employee was doing it. It was really stressful. We’d put certain deliveries in the vehicle, deliver them, then come back and pick up more packages. Delivery route planning was also challenging, we even tried using some software but it was not accurate.
