Bloomon is one of the fastest growing scale-ups in the Netherlands. In order to be able to maintain their impressive growth rate of 100% per year, they had to solve the bottleneck that had arisen during the purchasing process. Since hiring more people would not solve this problem in the long term, they had to radically change their purchasing process or stop scaling. At Ciphix we believe in "Innovation by making". By applying Design Thinking, which fits well with this client, we have been able to incorporate Bloomon into our vision of an innovative application in a pleasant way. Thanks to our extensive experience with optimizing the purchasing process at HelloFresh and our proven "Stepped-Agile" approach, Bloomon has been convinced that Ciphix is the right partner to tackle this challenge.
Business Need: Bloomon is one of the fastest growing scale-ups in the Netherlands. In order to be able to maintain their impressive growth rate of 100% per year, they had to solve the bottleneck that had arisen during the purchasing process. Since hiring more people would not solve this problem in the long term, they had to radically change their purchasing process or stop scaling. At Ciphix we believe in "Innovation by making". By applying Design Thinking, which fits well with this client, we have been able to incorporate Bloomon into our vision of an innovative application in a pleasant way. Thanks to our extensive experience with optimizing the purchasing process at HelloFresh and our proven "Stepped-Agile" approach, Bloomon has been convinced that Ciphix is the right partner to tackle this challenge.
Solution: As we always do with such questions, we started with an extensive concept design process in which we have translated the business wishes into an interface for a new purchasing application. A concept design is a tool that everyone understands and so in this case too the noise between business & IT disappeared. From the concept design onwards, we have determined on the basis of our Rapid Innovation Strategy, in collaboration with Bloomon, that the low-code platform from Mendix is the best suitable technology to experience this application.
Results: Ciphix has developed an advanced Mendix application for Bloomon in close collaboration with Bloomon's business team. The application facilitates the entire core business of Bloomon, from the design of the bouquet by the stylist to the shipment to the customers. The application was delivered by our team two weeks prior to the planned delivery date and enables Bloomon to realize their ambitious growth ambitions.
