In the end, the ring, and the app that we created for it, raised $537k of Kickstarter investment and got 3k pre-orders. The ring development went simultaneously with the app, so we had to follow each new ring version and adapt to its new functionalities on the go.

Olimp is a platform that understands and caters to the specific needs of freight carriers and warehouse managers. Together with HeyInnovations, they developed a website that connects drivers and warehouses to save transportation time and reduce carbon emissions. Business challenge The founders came up with the idea of Olimp when they faced difficulties searching for short-term warehousing as a truck company. They noticed that when rejected at delivery, drivers had to find a stopover point for their freight. Having no special service for that, they would spend hours trying to find and book a suitable warehouse location on the Internet. Warehouses also felt the lack of a digital solution: they didn’t have a platform, other than the Internet search, where they could promote their services, connect with carriers, or monitor their workflow. Olimp founders realized that, and contacted HeyInnovations to develop a handy digital tool for searching, booking, and managing warehouse visits right on the go. Key tasks Develop a digital platform that would allow drivers to find and book warehouses on demand. Implement a safe and reliable authentication mechanism to create a network of trusted users. Create a database of warehouses with key services and features for better search. Develop a CRM system for warehouses to manage bookings and connect with drivers. How we tackled the tasks Adaptive web design for quick start and easy access from all devices Designed registration forms in compliance with laws and regulations Convenient warehouse search to help drivers find relevant services Clear operations for better user experience and higher retention CRM system for warehouses to manage capacity and optimize revenue Outcomes Together with Olimp, we brought a brand-new solution for the logistics industry. We kept the usual functionalities of an online booking platform and added industry-specific features to deliver a clear and efficient user experience. Read More

Jaguar Land Rover Touchscreen

After the launch of the Jaguar Land Rover app for Priority Club members, Jaguar asked us to adapt the app to their touchscreen systems, so that users could start it right on the car display.  We had to integrate the app with the Bosch mySPIN system, which was a difficult task, since the car system could only connect to a device after verifying the vehicle license and identification number.

Baristika is a coffee shop created to deliver freshly brewed specialty coffee to clients across business centers. It operated in a ghost kitchen format, meaning that there was no front of house, and the orders were delivered directly to the customers’ desks. For this project, we developed an all-in-one management platform comprising five different services. The platform processed 150 daily orders with a 15-minute delivery, and brought HeyInnovations a new client interested in the same technology. Customer App and Website Our main focus here was to provide easy ordering and tracking processes. With that in mind, we implemented:  Ordering system that requires only an address, card number, and customer’s phone number. Saving data to use for the next orders.  “Repeat My Previous Order” button to reduce ordering to just one tap.  In-app delivery time estimation to avoid delays.  Booking algorithm that gives customers who purchased the last menu item in stock 6-minutes to place the order. Barista App With the barista app, we went for clear order tracking and handoff:  The system notifies the barista upon a new order and indicates whether there is a courier available for the delivery.  The app assigns orders from neighboring locations to one courier. The system waits for 3 more minutes to fill all the cells in the courier’s bag, after which it changes status and moves to delivery. Courier App The courier app was created to alleviate routing and provide a swift coffee delivery without mishaps and confusions. Sends push-notification to inform customers about delivery.  Shows the courier the right cell with the order.  Keeps track of promo codes and gifts that customers receive if a courier fails the order.  Admin Panel The admin panel controlled stock levels and accepted orders from all three Baristika locations. Keeps the record of ingredients in stock. Automatically blocks items in menu if one of the ingredients runs out. Manages employee shift schedules and calculates wages. Closes the kitchen in-app orders and in case of emergency. Displays customer reviews. Read More

Premier Gym Chain App

SPORTLIFE is a chain of high-end fitness clubs that approached us to develop an app for their clientele and staff. Our main task was to create an application that would increase customer loyalty and motivate people to visit the gym more often. We studied the behavior of the gyms’ clients, and came up with engagement strategies to ensure more return visitors and renewed memberships. Increasing loyalty through social interactions  We created an in-app social network to help SPORTLIFE forge a community and connect workout buddies. Users can find friends, compete with other gym members in rating, and share their achievements.  Motivating users to work out more We implemented a rating system and visit statistics that allows members to track personal progress and compete with each other. Users get rating points for each visit to the gym and personal training. The higher the rating, the lower the membership price. As a bonus, the most active users get rewards based on their place in the season rating. Custom app interface We created a unique app interface where users choose what app services to display on their home screen and tab bar. Managing the schedule The app shows an up-to-date gym schedule with group workouts descriptions, as well as a user’s personal schedule with the selected workouts. Before each session, users get a push-notification to remind them of the upcoming workout.  The app also allows making personal appointments with trainers and wellness specialists. Payment and membership We added a payment option that allows users to transfer money for personal training and pay for their gym membership in just one tap. The app displays all the relevant plan information so that users are always aware when it is time to prolong their membership. Separate app for trainers A separate app for trainers allows the gym staff to manage their schedule, connect with personal clients, record their progress, and track payments. Read More

After the app launch, Doc+ raised $5.5 million in a seed funding round and continued to work on the apps in-house. Effortless registration for new users The patient app has a simple registration form that requires only a phone number and basic contact info.

Easy house call scheduling The app allows calling doctors at any time of the day, both to the user’s location and to another person. Before confirming a visit, the app displays the doctor’s profile, rating, and qualifications. Tracking and managing visits Users can track the doctor’s location and see the estimated arrival time. They can cancel or postpone the visit by contacting the service’s hotline. Feedback and rating After the visit, users can give feedback on the specialist; their reviews are later used to calculate the doctor’s rating. The results of the doctor’s visit, prescriptions, and recommendations are stored in the app to help track the user’s medical history. App for doctors The doctors’ app works on Android devices and comes as a pre-installed application on the doctor’s tablet. It allows taking house calls and making a personal schedule, calculates the shortest route to the patient, and estimates the workload and pay. Read More
