Market Research
Similar software was examined to assess the pricing models used in the horse industry, but also cross-industry pricing strategies were analysed. Together with our own knowledge on pricing strategies it was possible to create a detailed structure for a new and improved price model.
Customer Analysis
To find out the what a customer needs, it is important to really understand the customer. The best way to do this is to talk to the customer. By performing client and non-client interviews it becomes clear how the system can be optimised for each type of client, what it is they like about the platform, what they need in such a platform and what makes them use it. Thanks to the customer analysis it was possible to decide what features are essential and which are more premium features.
