NetSuite Helps Hint Grow into a Multi-Million Dollar Company

Although not quite a rags to riches story, San Francisco-based Hint has a story that would make Horatio Alger proud. The creator of unsweetened, fruit flavored water has morphed from a small family run business into a multi-million dollar juggernaut. Hint partnered with NetSuite about 10 years ago and the amazing growth shows no signs of slowing down. As the founder and owner of the business shoots for sales of one billion dollars per year, NetSuite applications will help the former mom and pop business compete against large corporations that dominate the flavored bottle water market.

Hint Water

Hint’s modest start was inspired by Kara Goldin, who as a San Francisco Bay native embarked on a personal health journey that involved eliminating a 10 can per day Diet Coke habit. Goldin’s vision was to make water more appealing by adding different types of fruit to pitchers of water. Rave reviews from friends and family members prompted Goldin to see if bottled fruit flavored water could make an impact in the beverage market. After pitching the idea to Whole Foods, Goldin delivered 10 cases of her masterpiece.

The 10 cases sold out within 24 hours.

Six months later, Whole Foods devoted a section of the beverage aisle for stocking bottled water produced by Goldin’s new business, Hint. Soon thereafter, Goldin hired NetSuite to incorporate technologies that would support rapid growth.

As a long time former executive of AOL, Goldin summed up her business vision during a recent interview. “I didn’t set out to launch a beverage company, but as I learned more about the options available to consumers, I realized that it was time to shake things up,” said Goldin. “The market was ready, but it was still dominated by centuries-old stalwarts. To have our voice heard in such a crowded space, we needed to couple all of our startup energy and enthusiasm with business processes that allowed us to operate like a much larger firm. NetSuite has given us a platform to grow our business so that we can focus on delighting our customers.”
