Helping commercial vehicle owners and fleets maintain 100% uptime.

In an effort to help Ford maintain customer relationships and gain new revenue streams post-purchase - we helped them define a new service offering legeraging connected vehicles.

My Role

I lead the interaction design and service design for this project. Prototyping key service offerings and building out the customer journey for each type of business interacting with Oracle.

Challenge

How might we reduce unplanned downtime forcommercial customers through connected services?

Solution

Our final deliverable was a new service offering using connected vehicle data that would allow mobility businesses and fleets to have better communication between themselves, their vehicles, and dealerships. We highlighted these features in a explainter video following 3 different profiles.

Outcomes

Ford green-lit the initiative and developed the service into a core function of their new organization, Ford Pro.

Field Research

Our team traveled across the UK and Germany interviewing dozens of commercial vehicle owners and fleet operators to understand their painpoints with managing their fleets.
