A fleet management studio for small businesses
Field research with SME fleet managers turned into a validated prototype that set the product's development roadmap.

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.
