Electric driving
Implemented for ENSO Energie Sachsen Ost AG
Joint agile development of a web app
The digital consulting assistant “Electric driving” is part of the vision of ENSO and DREWAG. The aim is to become the main contacts for questions related to e-mobility.
Interested parties can find out about different user journeys related to e-mobility. This is ensured in particular by a comparison calculator, which forms the heart of the application. It uses a driver's individual driving behavior to determine whether an electric vehicle would be more cost-effective for them than one running on fossil fuels. The app is supplemented by a vehicle consultant based on ADAC data.
The digital consulting assistant can suggest products and services from ENSO and/or DREWAG for the e-vehicle they've selected. This includes the right charging devices, charging accessories, services and, of course, the electricity product itself. Users can add all the products to a wish list and automatically send it to ENSO and/or DREWAG as a contact request. This way, ENSO and/or DREWAG can provide customers with specific details on the technical implementation and individual offers.
ZEISS Digital Innovation tasks
As part of distributed agile collaboration, a ZEISS Digital Innovation mixed team provided support for this project. The task was to advance an existing Angular-based prototype as per the functional requirements. These included the implementation and connection of a Spring Boot back end for managing and maintaining master data, such as charging devices, charging accessories, services, tariffs and vehicles. The app also had to be styled with the ENSO and/or DREWAG corporate design for the relevant domain.
It was important to work with the product owner throughout the project. In addition to the development itself, we were also able to share our experience with customers thanks to our agile processes according to SCRUM principles, and through our teams working at distributed locations.
The collaboration was very good in that it focused squarely on our specific customer situation. With this second joint project, we implemented another agile development project. ZEISS Digital Innovation was always a professional development partner, in terms of both technology and methods, and had a solid understanding of the field.
