How we solved them

Needs of the customers were central to our approach. We went from face-to-face discussions, over systematic interviews, to extensive workshops with individuals and business owners – all these interactions have helped us to generate the iBooQ strategy. Clean-cut definition of work procedures allowed us to tackle the challenges with wire-framing and visualize the solutions in mock-ups. Implementing customers dialogue modules (e.g. “Suggest features”) will help us to stay customer-centric. 

 

Using approved and secure standardized technologies with an innovative approach (e.g. especially developed QR generator)  has allowed us to create appropriate technical solutions for the challenges.  .

To ensure data protection and data sovereignty for the customers is a key element of our strategy. By working closely with a legal counsel and using our smart-enviroment, we have been able to fulfill the strict requirements of the DSGVO and the Swiss data law, and we let the customers themselves decide what data they want to share with whom and when.
