FTZ
The workshop's toolbox, in your pocket. The FTZ app lets car mechanics order parts, look up stock and keep their repair cases up to date, right next to the car. Our goal was to save mechanics the walk back to the office computer. Tasks that used to wait for the desk should take just a few taps, even with greasy hands and a car on the lift.

The challenge
Investment data is dense. A single client can have several portfolios, each with its own depots and underlying securities, and returns, risk and allocation all change over time. On top of that, clients use the app for much more than numbers: market news, events, benefits and contact with their advisor. Most of them open the app briefly, to check in, not to analyse. The challenge was to give them the answer to "how am I doing?" in seconds, without hiding the detail for those who want to understand why.
The work happens at the car, not at the desk.
And the catalogue holds tens of thousands of parts.
The solution
We built the app around the car in front of you. Scan the licence plate and the open case appears, with its parts list, prices and notes. From there, adding a part is as quick as scanning its barcode or typing an item number, so every part used lands on the invoice while the work is being done. Photos and comments can be attached straight to the case, so findings are documented on the spot instead of from memory.
From the big picture to the underlying securities, one level at a time.
The workshop day
A workshop is a team, and its day needs planning. Mechanics can see their own schedule and their colleagues' availability, and who is working on which client and car, so it's easy to plan the day, hand over a job or find a free pair of hands without walking to the office. Working hours are tracked directly in the app and added to the bill, so the time spent on a job is billed just like the parts.
More than numbers: events, news by theme, benefits and advisor contact, as the human side of the app.
Let’s say hej
in real life.

The challenge
A mechanic's day happens at the car, but the admin happens at a desk. Every repair needs the right parts ordered, every part used needs to end up on the customer's invoice, and every finding needs to be documented, and in practice this often waits until the end of the day, when details are forgotten and parts slip off the bill. On top of that, the catalogue is huge: tens of thousands of items, each with its own number, variants and stock status. The challenge was to fit both worlds, a parts webshop and a workshop system, into a tool that's quick enough to use mid-repair.
