Client overview

Felmo is a German-based company in the field of veterinary services. The company provides a wide range of services including online consultations, appointment booking to the vet, instant and permanent access to treatment results, and more. The client wanted to develop a mobile app that connects vet clinics and pet owners looking for medical care services online.

In July 2021, felmo closed another major financing round following their successful Series A in February. This time they managed to raise €15 million! Burda Principal Investments led the financing round, including existing investors HV Capital, Redalpine, and 468 Capital.

Challenges

  • The client wanted to develop a mobile application within 60 days on a limited budget. Hence, our task was to provide a solution that would allow us to quickly create a quality brand app and stay on the specified budget.
  • The client's wireframes weren't enough to provide the user flow logic. They needed a UX audit and both UI/UX designs.
  • The team had to deliver applications for iOS and Android platforms within 60 days.

Scope of work

1. UX/UI Design development:
  • Working with the client’s wireframes;
  • UX audit;
  • UI design. 
2. Mobile app development included:
  • The development of a user interface for both versions of the app;
  • Conducting market research to find a solution that would meet all the project's requirements;
  • Continuous integration and delivery. 

Solution

Based on Eva Design System, the app enables users to:
  • Keep track of the current appointments;
  • Schedule the next appointment;
  • Keep at hand a list of procedures prescribed by the vet;
  • See each appointment in a vet clinic in detail (notes, time, etc.);
  • Use the knowledge base via a series of articles;
  • View a history log that includes the details of procedures and medicine prescribed by the doctor and their corresponding status;
  • Communicate with vets via chats;
  • Receive automatic notifications.

The quality of work and the mentality in which they tackle things was outstanding

The quality of work and the mentality in which they tackle things was outstanding

Akveo delivered high-quality apps against a timeline and budget. Using their own framework allowed them to save money and make adjustments to the client’s needs. That level of expertise combined with excellent value made for an overall smooth workflow, despite some bumps at first.
