Frechbike

Client

Founded in 2019, the client is a manufacturer and supplier of electric bicycles. Based in Paris, France, the organization served nearlу 28,000 of the country’s residents.

Project goal

Producing electric bicycles, the company managed to attract a wide audience in France. To extend its influence across the country and boost consumer satisfaction, the client needed to enable users to track their trips, monitor performance (distance passed, speed, power, battery level, etc.), and find cyclists nearby.

For this purpose, the organization aimed to make a mobile application. Looking for a trusted IT partner, the customer decided to hire Aligned Code due to its vast expertise in building top-notch e-mobility solutions.

First and foremost, the client wanted to receive wireframes and proceed to user interface development if satisfied with the outcome.

Solution

Our team started by clarifying the project goals and specifications. Then, we estimated the scope of work, providing time and budget assessments. The client also wanted to get expert advice on how to develop a mobile application, for example, what functionality was required to meet end-user needs.

This way, our business analyst performed competitors’ and the audience’s research. Thanks to this, we were able to determine user expectations and prioritize features properly.

In just a week, we drew wireframes to visualize the solution structure and showcased them to the customer. Since the manufacturer of bicycles was totally satisfied with the outcome and overall cooperation, it decided to delegate mobile app design to us, too.

So, we created a user interface (UI) / experience (UX) design, ensuring high usability and smooth navigation. By making the interface intuitive, we enabled users to interact with the product without even thinking.

Following Agile best practices, our professionals managed to demonstrate intermediate results to the company every 1–2 weeks.

During the project, we communicated with the client via Slack and Google Meet, providing a demo of every sprint and sharing information about progress. Our specialists were always in touch to answer questions and discuss the necessary issues.
