ACCELERATING INNOVATION THROUGH AGILE PROTOTYPING

THE COMPANY

Our client is a U.S.-based chain of stores specializing in the distribution of tires and auto parts. With over 500 branches across nine states on the West Coast and more than 7,000 employees, they are known for their high level of service excellence, a fundamental pillar of their culture.

THE CHALLENGE

The company’s executive leadership needed a specialized digital solutions development team to help them quickly validate the feasibility of new technology product ideas that could potentially evolve their business.

THE SOLUTION

Baufest configured a multidisciplinary team of professionals specialized in cloud technologies for cutting-edge solutions, focusing on speed of delivery to quickly validate the feasibility of prototypes under evaluation.

Based on various initiatives proposed by the client and using our Prototyping-as-a-Service framework, the team designed and implemented different prototypes, including solutions for documenting and communicating vehicle inspections to increase sales, understanding customer purchasing behaviors to drive marketing actions, and enhancing the customer experience by reducing wait times while working on their vehicles.
