PQuick

PQuick was born as an innovative venture after identifying the need to contract the transportation of objects in real time and knowing all the time where the cargo is. PQuick is an app created from scratch for people or companies that need to move one or more heavy objects with reliable carriers that have pick ups, vans or small trucks. Using the app, users can, in very simple steps, obtain a quote to move one or several objects, shortening all the logistics associated with the transfer.

The challenge

To create a technological solution for the contracting of heavy load transportation. Heavy loads should be understood as anything that cannot be transported in a car. For that the challenge was in:

  1. Create a technological solution from scratch, starting from an idea, together with the San Nicolás team.
  2. Integrate the entire San Nicolás team to align efforts and expectations and make them feel involved in the creation of a joint product.
  3. Identify the possible problems related to the world of heavy cargo moving, regulations, insurance, invoicing, etc.
  4. Downstream brainstorming to a realizable product defined by the first version to be released to the public, the MVP.
  5. Sizing the hours needed to reach the development of the first version, the MVP.

And all this in the midst of the COVID pandemic.

AWS applied in this challenge

The results

01

An MVP version was achieved in 6 months starting from the first day of intent to the first release of PQuick.

02

Excellent first ratings. Thanks to an intensive internal testing process, bugs that could damage the user’s perception of the product were avoided in PQuick’s first release. The first (and key) user reviews in the different Stores have been excellent, 4.8 on iOS and 4.9 on Google Play.

03

100% efficiency in the delivery of new functionalities post MVP. After the first delivery of the minimum viable version, we started to work in Scrum and Time & Materials mode, this system has allowed us to move forward with firm and validated steps.
