[ Background ]

A safety product is more than a webshop.

Hövding makes an airbag for cyclists: a connected safety product with its own firmware and a crash replacement programme. The digital needs stretch far beyond ordinary ecommerce.

We took on the whole web experience, built on Shopify with a fully bespoke theme, and developed the internal platforms that make the product, the sales and the support work together.

How the work got done.

(01)

What did the web rebuild include?

A complete redesign and rebuild on Shopify with a fully bespoke theme, built for speed, conversion and Hövding's brand. Everything that belongs to the setup was included, from structure to checkout.

(02)

Which internal platforms did you build?

An internal sales tool for the team, a firmware platform that connects to the device, and an automated system for the crash replacement programme. Three systems that used to be manual or didn't exist at all.

(03)

Why was everything built custom?

Hövding's product is connected and complex: firmware, warranty and crash replacement set demands that off-the-shelf templates and apps can't meet. We built exactly what was needed, tightly integrated.

What happens next?

We have just started building up Hövding's paid search. More on that once the numbers are in.

We are not looking for more clients. We are looking for the right one.
