TIR’s digital commerce transformation:
Discovery Phase
Meet our client and listen to their Solo
TIR is a logistics company in the United States that has been in the transportation business for more than 15 years and has its own fleet of trucks.
The company also actively invests in innovative projects in the logistics sector.
The main task was to carry out a Discovery Phase to develop a mobile application for truck drivers in the United States with functionality for their socialization.
Our team took on this product from the ground up. The client came to us with an idea that had been on his mind for some time. He saw that there were apps on the market that were primarily designed for experienced or American drivers. At the same time, many immigrants do not understand the language very well at first and often need to repair or maintain their cars, get information in a clear language, or just make some contacts in a new country. Therefore, it was hypothesized that by creating a multilingual application with such socialization features, the company would help immigrant drivers better adapt to living and working in a new country.
- Discovery Phase
Before starting to implement the product, an in-depth analysis is necessary!
The SoloWay team implemented the discovery phase in a relatively short period of time (4-6 weeks). The client received a comprehensive vision of the future mobile application from various perspectives.
It is worth remembering that the client came up with an idea and received a set of artifacts that would help him make the right decision about investing in this product.
In addition, our marketing team provided services for creating a brand and logo, researching the market potential, developing a presentation for investors, and preparing a product launch strategy.

During these several weeks of working with the client during the discovery phase, my team and I were able to fully immerse ourselves in the client's business and gain a lot of insight into the market where the product will be launched. It was very informative to talk to truck drivers from the United States and actually travel with them, albeit remotely. This allowed us to identify key pain points and design a solution that would best suit the end users. A major challenge for us was to analyze existing mature applications that have a wide range of functionality and many technical integrations with many services.
