Much more than just an upgrade
We live in an era where change, more than an option, is a requirement for success. Especially in the fintech world, where market players must adapt to offer digital experiences that meet the demands of their customers. Crédito de la Casa, one of the leading personal credit management companies in Uruguay, has taken a significant step in this direction with the launch of its new mobile app.
In collaboration with ThinkUp, Crédito de la Casa has done much more than just present a simple technical improvement. They have radically transformed how customers interact with their financial services. This new app not only solves technical problems, but redefines and elevates the user experience, setting a new standard in the industry.
A challenge to match the customer’s story
Crédito de la Casa is one of the leading personal loan management companies in Uruguay, with a history of success dating back to 1993. Since its beginnings, it has experienced exponential growth, consolidating its position as one of the most reliable financial institutions in the country. Today, with more than 200 points of service throughout the country and a network of more than 10,000 affiliated businesses, Crédito de la Casa remains at the forefront of the financial sector, offering innovative products and services designed to make its customers’ lives easier.
The perfect example of this innovation-focused philosophy was the launch of its mobile application, which quickly became its most important branch. However, the app presented a technical and accessibility problem that the company wanted to solve.
The client came to us to solve this specific bug, but at ThinkUp we saw an opportunity to go further. We proposed a complete migration of the app to Flutter, which not only solved the initial problem, but also provided them with a comprehensive solution with a solid technological base, ready to face the challenges of the future.
ThinkUp’s Proposal
After analyzing the existing technology, ThinkUp proposed a complete migration of the application to Flutter. As we discussed in other notes, this technology would not only solve the initial problem, but would also provide a robust and ideal technological foundation to meet future challenges. With its ability to create native, cross-platform applications from a single code base, Flutter offered the flexibility and performance needed to take the Home Credit app to a new level.
What did we do?
- Problem Identification: We began by analyzing and understanding the bug affecting the user onboarding process. This thorough analysis not only allowed us to identify the specific technical problem, but also revealed key areas to improve the overall user experience. We discovered that the registration process was complicated and frustrating, resulting in a high abandonment rate from new users.
- Proposed Solution: Based on our findings, we proposed a complete migration of the application to Flutter. This technology would not only fix the initial bug, but also significantly improve the app’s functionality and accessibility. Our proposal was well received by Crédito de la Casa, who saw the potential for a deeper and more lasting digital transformation. They understood that this migration would allow them to offer a more consistent and optimized experience on both iOS and Android.
- Development and Migration: we implemented the new technology and redesigned the application from scratch. This process included the creation of a more intuitive and accessible user interface, adaptable to the features and needs of each operating system. In addition, we optimized the application’s performance to ensure that it was more agile and efficient than ever. During development, we focused on reducing the learning curve and making navigation smoother and faster for users.
- Launch: The launch of the new app was meticulously planned to ensure a smooth transition for existing users and maximize the positive impact on the customer experience. The initial response was very positive, which gave us confidence to proceed with the full rollout to the app stores.
- Evaluation and Continuous Improvement: After the launch, we continued to closely monitor the app’s performance and gather feedback. This proactive approach will allow us to further enhance the user experience with the app.
Thanks to this comprehensive process and close collaboration with Crédito de la Casa, we were able not only to solve the initial problems, but also to offer a robust and future-proof solution, raising the standard of accessibility and functionality in the financial sector.
What is the new Crédito de la Casa app like?
The new version of the application offers a more agile, accessible and personalized user experience. Key enhancements include:
- Onboarding Simplified: the registration process is now quick and easy, with just a few steps. This improvement has significantly reduced friction for new users, facilitating their access to Crédito de la Casa services from the first use.
- Focus on Accessibility: we conducted tests with blind users to ensure an inclusive experience. This initiative has ensured that the app is usable by people with visual limitations, expanding its reach and usefulness.
- Intuitive Design: the interface has been redesigned to be user-friendly and optimized for each operating system. The new design is not only aesthetically pleasing, but also highly functional.
- Better Performance: the application is now more agile and efficient, with a much lower learning curve. Users can perform transactions faster and with less effort, which increases their satisfaction and loyalty towards Crédito de la Casa services.
Impact and Reception
The launch of the new Home Credit app had an immediate and positive impact. Since its debut, the app has been downloaded more than 72,000 times on PlayStore, an impressive figure that reflects its enthusiastic reception among users. Feedback especially highlighted the speed and ease of the new registration process, which has significantly improved the user experience from the first contact with the app.
In addition, the application has received high ratings in the app stores, which is a clear indication of user satisfaction with the implemented improvements. Users have praised the intuitive interface, optimized performance and accessibility features that make the app inclusive for all. Crédito de la Casa is fully confident that this new digital tool will become its flagship product, redefining the standard of service in the Uruguayan financial sector.
The success of teamwork
For ThinkUp, the development of this application represented an exciting and rewarding challenge. The collaboration with Credito de la Casa was exceptional, characterized by a mutual trusting that facilitated the work at every stage of the project. From the beginning, an impressive synergy was established between the two teams, allowing for fluid communication and a constant exchange of ideas.
The success of this project is proof of what can be achieved with close collaboration and, above all, a focus on excellence. The new Crédito de la Casa app is a clear example of how ThinkUp transforms challenges into opportunities, creating digital products that truly impact the lives of users.
