Telefónica Digital Innovation — A fleet management studio for small businesses

The challenge

The M2M product team had six months to launch a fleet management product for SMEs and needed to know what it should do.

Fieldwork

Ten two-hour contextual interviews and two co-creation workshops showed that fleet management involves several actors, not just the manager; that managers are self-taught and on the move; and that cost-benefit, maintenance, education and a sense of control drive their decisions.

Outcome

An HTML prototype built on four principles — visual synthesis, inclusiveness, consistency and tangible benefits — tested in two versions and used to prioritise the development roadmap.
