Andreas Troxler Founder, beautycontest.ch The challenges
- A limited budget
- An admin area for editing content easily
- Entry of user-generated content
- Making the offering easy to grasp
Beautycontest.ch connects qualified investors with asset managers in Switzerland – a digital directory that brings supply and demand together. As solution partner, xappido was able to build the platform from the first sketch to go-live.
The starting point
Founder and managing director Andreas Troxler wanted to find out one thing above all: is there a market for a platform like this at all? The task was clearly defined – a limited budget, an offering that has to be understandable at first glance, and a simple admin area for maintaining content and the details entered by users.
The solution
xappido built the platform as a minimum viable product – lean enough to test the market need quickly and cost-effectively, and at the same time laid out so that new functions can be added at any time. “We paid particular attention to making sure the platform can be extended with new functionality at any time,” explains Sandro Wymann, CEO of xappido.
The design mockups were created in joint workshops and then implemented one to one. The result is a platform that is simple and intuitive to use, appealing in its appearance and professional in the impression it makes. One highlight for the founder: the function that lets users put together their own “beauty list”.
The result
Beautycontest.ch has been online since the end of 2020. Around 100 asset managers already present themselves in the digital directory, and requests worth CHF 52 million have been made through the platform. Andreas Troxler values the cost-effective approach and the pragmatic delivery – and is pleased with the successful start.
As solution partner, xappido continues to look after the platform in operation and supports its further development.
