Smart water-coolers provider Bevi has entered into a distribution partnership with retail solutions firm Canteen to offer its seltzer machine in the US.

The internet-connected Bevi machine customises still and sparkling water with unsweetened, zero-calorie, or organically sweetened natural flavours.

The internet connection is combined with real-time data to allow easy service and maintenance of the machines.

Bevi's co-founder and chief executive officer (CEO) Sean Grundy said: "In 2016, Bevi's revenue grew by over 1000% and went from serving a handful of Boston tech companies to hydrating some of the most innovative companies in the world in several major cities.

"We're really honoured that the world leader in customer satisfaction and logistics for food service has chosen to work with us."
