Create an app to decrease the number of inbound calls and emails and, in turn, improve customer service and increase efficiency. We love the Glide product as it gives students and people living in shared accommodations a powerful tool to predict their energy usage and reduce consumption.

We supply a product squad of two mobile developers, a designer, a product lead, and a part-time business analyst. We introduced an agile/lean approach with the client allowing us to deliver a high tech product in record time!

01

Simplify

“Reduce my time looking for solutions”

experience principles

We held many workshops with Glide and internally to discuss how we would best approach structuring the client’s needs. By coming up with user personas and experience principles, we could focus on the same goals with the client.

02

Integrate

“An app built within our existing back-end”

technical requirements

We had to work hand-in-hand with the client engineering team to set up the development pipeline, make changes to their API endpoints, run back-end tests, and ensure the app would be consistent with the existing web portals.

the process

We used a mix of Kanban and Scrum frameworks to work closely with the different teams. Glide provided us with custom-made APIs that we adapted alongside their product team and integrated within the app.
