Some details
An international tobacco company faced an unusual, but rather uplifting problem – its employees had numerous ideas on how to improve the inner working of the company. However, they had no reliable ways of submitting them to the higher-ups. Sometimes they felt awkward to take up their time, sometimes the e-mails got lost in busy mailboxes. A regular cardboard suggestion box
just wouldn’t do the job.
Therefore, we were asked for a mobile app development service to tackle the issue. Our solution within the UX/UI design area was simple, yet effective – an app that allows the employees to submit their ideas in a clear, unified way. The submitter chooses the project’s name, describes it and appoints its business owner. After the ideas are submitted, a dedicated board gathers and discusses them.
Since every idea is presented in the same format, the discussion process has also been shortened. The company has reported the app is being used frequently – and some of the submitted ideas are already being deployed in the company. After all, those who work in departments know best how to improve them!
