| Two months became a commitment of almost 2 years and they would still accompany us today. Dumbo worked closely with us to revolutionize the digital world of airberlin step by step while making themselves both technically and personally indispensable for our team. So I'm really looking forward to the next collaboration wherever that is going to be. |
Bianca Ramljak
Head of UX/UI, airberlin
A booking flow selling tickets worth a billion euros annually
The redesign was radical. And the first beta went live before it was optimized for mobile. And it was right to do so. Despite missing features and numerous bugs, the early beta version outperformed the old version in every way.
Service not promotion
We turned annoying promotions into friendly service offers by unintrusivly unifying them. Paired with illustrations that provide optimum depth of detail for every screen size.
Eliminate obstacles
Have you ever tried to weigh a dog while booking a flight? airberlin required you to. We questioned every barrier always prepared to motivate departments in charge to change operations which had a strong impact on the customer experience.
Safety first
People are stressed when booking a flight. We addressed their concerns in many ways. For example we gave a quick summary with a »floating button« at every step of the process to always make them feel safe and in control.
An app that knows what you need even before you interact with it
Airberlin customers used the app as a traveling tool – which it wasn't. We transformed it into a smart companion; aware of where you are in your journey. The gate is open? You get the boarding pass.
A homepage that leads to more sales with a radical focus
Airberlin's home was a billboard. We put user needs first, brand experience second and promotion last. We created a clear navigation, we staging the airline’s brand and a strong focus on the core business - selling flights.
We want to give a special thanks Bianca Ramljak, manager UI/UX, for the perfect team work and all responsible managers for the huge amount of trust and courage necessary to follow our radical concepts.
It breaks our hearts that we will never see these products fly in their final versions. Rest in peace you amazing company †
