Problem Statement
It’s difficult for dealerships to be connected to their clients, and clients don’t typically respond well to the occasional promotional calls. Automotive dealerships are privately owned and each website varies vastly from one to the next. This leads to clients spending more time trying to find what they are looking for.
MOKO offers a solution by enabling dealerships to connect with their clients through a mobile app. This app empowers users to access vital dealership information and also permits dealerships to send messages and promotional offers directly within the app.

Prototype Testing
We partnered with Mini Ottawa to co-develop this app to be used at their location. Many of the user interviews and insights are gathered from individuals at that location.
Insights
WHAT USERS WANT
We interviewed both the dealership and end users to find exactly what type of information they would like to see. After compiling everyone's input, we developed a survey containing various options and requested participants to select their top five preferences. The selected categories included Profile, Courtesy Car, Dealership, News, and Inbox.
LESS IS MORE
Users wanted information displayed in an organized way. Many of them found dealership websites to be overwhelming, often filled with irrelevant information.
BRANDING
Users liked the idea of customized branding based on automotive brands. This approach delivers a more catered experience for the specific brand and the content can reflect each individual brand's guidelines.
Branding
Each mobile app is customized to their respective automotive branding. We used the Mini Branding guidelines to generate the styling for this app.
Simple, intuitive, and informational
Same design, different brand
MOKO works with individual dealerships to brand the app to adhere to the different brand guidelines.
