We started Custodia because we believe the future of work should empower all employees with streamlined systems and intelligent design. And so we reinvented the expense process with this in mind. Using the same advanced technology we had delivered to our clients in other markets, we created Custodia to empower all employees to spend smarter, offering mobility, control, and insight.

At Spindrift Beverage Co., were challenging peoples expectations of how good a beverage can be. ​ ​ We believe taste is everything, nature gets it right, and real ingredients should be accessible to all.​ ​ Spindrift® is proudly made the hard way™. Since 2010, weve been doing things the hard way, the intentional way, the better albeit more challenging way, the right way - because, in the end, it’s worth it.​ ​ Our products debuted in artisan Boston-area shops and eateries, where they caught the eye of local foodies and craft beverage fans. Then, it grew slowly from a cult-like following to a wide, diverse fan base. Today, our beverages can be found and enjoyed nationwide, in US retailers, grocery stores, restaurants, and even ordered directly from our website.​ ​ Headquartered just outside of Boston, our team is obsessively involved with the entire process of creating Spindrift. From visiting the farms where we source the best-tasting ingredients to being on-site for every single production run to tasting every batch, this hands-on approach is a testament to our unwavering commitment to quality. We love the challenge that comes from working with real ingredients and making a product that stands out in a crowd.​ ​ And we’re still just getting started. Join us in making every beverage a positive force of nature.​
