GoGetty is a Danish start-up and the first employer branding, career and diversity platform that makes gender equality measurable and transparent. They bring innovative companies and diverse talent closer together. GoGetty's idea is based on a diversity score that represents a percentage of women in top management roles in organizations.

Challenge:

GoGetty's CEO, Eveline, came to us with a complete design. Our primary challenge was bringing it to life while sticking to tight deadlines. We had to define and describe their business processes, as well as validate existing ones. Additionally, after workshops, we discovered some severe gaps in the designs.

Below is the summary of our challenges:

first agile IT project for the client
lack of technical knowledge on the part of the client
undefined business processes
unanticipated problems with user retention
tight MVP release deadline
choosing the right payment gateway for recurring payments

Process:

The project caught our eye from the beginning. As always, we started with a workshop. This time we went through the business model, sources of revenue and marketing strategy. Together with GoGetty's CEO, we identified existing business processes, validated and improved them and added new ones. Once we had the business logic, our UX/UI designer drew the remaining layouts and programmers set out to work.

Solutions we implemented:

extensive workshops on the business model and logic
agile approach for maximum flexibility and faster progress
intentional minimal admin panel for the MVP
Stripe recurring payments as our payment gateway provider
Ruby on Rails as the technology of choice

Outcome:

We are proud that by helping to create the GoGetty platform, we are helping to reduce gender inequality. Social impact start-ups are very welcome at Ideamotive - especially when we can see their growth and progress. GoGetty was nominated for the series of prestigious awards and has been discussed widely in the press. They are already successful, and it seems that their growth is accelerating.

I've never felt I had to ask questions elsewhere on how the different elements should be designed in the backend because they can always recommend me. They give me options and recommendations for the best routes. It was very helpful!
