A 3-day workshop to design the first-of-its-kind project for Volkswagen

Volkswagen asked Netguru to run a Product Design Sprint workshop to design a customer service process for Volkswagen Home - a first-in-the-world boutique for the German automotive company.

The workshop consisted in the research of the automotive sales funnel and its deconstruction, definition of all the stakeholders and potential blockers as well as designing the new customer journey and writing scenarios for every possible interaction with Volkswagen customers.

The Volkswagen Home boutique opened at the end of October 2017.  The average sale price at VW Home is 900-1200 EUR higher than in traditional sales channels.

Cash Opera came to Netguru with an appealing concept that required UX consulting and a complex redesign. They wanted their app to be easy to use in the crowded, busy setting of the airport. As the app’s main goal is to make currency exchange more convenient and faster, the UX and UI design had to reflect this. Additionally, the app needs to be pleasant to interact with, and inspire trust in users. After research, the team built a design hypothesis, and used several scenarios to create an interactive prototype of the solution. 

When a client moved their office to a 65,000 sq. ft. location, their goal was to assist employees in making the transition easier. The solution was an enterprise mobile app that allows employees to navigate around the space and to make full use of the office. Employees are able to find people, objects, and rooms, and such information as room size or its current occupancy and available equipment. Netguru assisted the client in building the app from scratch – from concept to implementation. Using a range of tools such as Product Design Sprint and interactive prototyping, the team developed an easy-to-use mobile app and helped the client to create a collaborative, inspiring work environment.

Calluna is a tool that lets almost any Netguru developer build staging environments on AWS by doing the hard work for them.  It allows our team to quickly submit a request to Calluna, which then automatically spins up the necessary AWS resources and provides a working instance of a staging environment within a few minutes. Calluna sets up the infrastructure and allows team members to easily configure everything with infrastructure-as-code. Due to the volume of projects we receive, we wanted to find an even faster way to let our team make these requests without advanced knowledge or relying on specific teams. And so, Calluna was born.
