Solution
What Switch & Co needed to help users find and participate in a variety of locally hosted activities was a booking app. A convenient and secure app with a payment solution and intuitive event filtering and booking capabilities could help users of Switch & Co explore Dubai from a health-oriented perspective.
To make the application successful, we did extensive product discovery and design workshops. Thanks to an in-depth analysis of the market need, we identified business cases and the so-called mobile moments — all of it without a single line of code. Data-driven research helped us build a solid business roadmap that has directly influenced the app’s success.
