| Status | Completed |
Purpose and goal
By launching our service on App Store, deals from connected companies are now mediated to end users through the app, after clothes has been donated to a connected help organization and/or clothing chain that receive used clothes.
Results and expected effects
The expected effect of a successful project was to complete the development of the first version of the app and launch it in Sweden, which we´ve done. We were also to connect sufficient companies and organizations in order to cover as many segments as possible. Today, deals are mediated within women´s, men´s and children´s clothes all over Sweden. We are still expecting to launch the service abroad in 2015. Cirqle´s future turnover in each respective market is hard to tell, since this is dictated by our cooperation agreements with future partners in the countries we´re planning to go to.
Approach and implementation
Anton Lejon (CTO) has been responsible for programming and has, together with Alexander Hedin (CPO) and David Hultin (Head of Design), developed and finished an iPhone-app. The official release was postponed until the end of the summer in order to operate a closed beta testing together with all connected partners. This resulted in a more stabile and thorough service. Niklas Nilsson and Alexander Gylemo has been responsible for connecting companies and organizations to the service and managing existing partners.
