Services: Digital products and services

Digital products and services

Are you tired of wasting time online trying to get things done, like buying a product, booking a trip, or simply looking for relevant information? We know you’re busy, and we live and breathe for crafting user experiences that remove friction in people’s everyday lives. Our teams do everything from product strategy, service design, product vision and prototypes – through launching an initial version that can be scaled and developed to perfection.

Websites

Yep, we still do websites. In today’s increasingly complex world, they’re typically only a part of the ecosystem, but it’s often the first touchpoint between a customer and a service provider. The challenges we meet in larger companies are typically related to divergent agendas between organisational silos, complex information architecture, inconsistent design systems, lack of resources to create and maintain the content, and a constant fight between the business aspect and IT. Sounds familiar? We got you covered – we’ve done this before.

Transaction services

In most cases, a user wants to complete a task online, and service providers aim for that conversion. It can be buying clothes, booking a hotel room, signing up for a subscription or submitting a form. They’re all high-value transactions for both sides. Hence, the process must be completely frictionless, secure, and fast, and the system must be capable of handling large variations in volume over time. Not only that, but the transaction is typically only one step in a complex customer journey, including logistics, communication, and billing. Very hard to do well, but that’s why we love it.

Mobile apps

There was a time when everyone said “I need an app”. Some still do, but most apps are now part of a comprehensive ecosystem of touchpoints that seamlessly connect consumers with service providers. What’s an “app” anyway? All the web-based interfaces we create work just as well on a mobile device, and technologies like React, Angular, Vue, and Firebase blur the difference between web-based solutions and native apps. Our experts cover all bases and leave religion out of the equation when selecting the platform that’s right for you. We’re only obsessed with delivering great user experiences – on the device you’re probably holding in your hand right now.

Chat & voice bots

Curious about bots? We can help you verify user needs, business benefits, and technical feasibility. Then, if you do need a bot, we’ll guide you through the jungle of options you’ll have. Use a prebuilt assistant or create your own platform so you own the IP yourself. Expose it through Messenger, in an app, on your website, or all of the above. How much work will go into building those dialogue trees? And how intelligent will an assistant really be? There isn’t a single answer to all this, but it helps to have been through it before. We have.
