We have developed Cortex together with experts from the social field, including psychologists, social workers, mental health specialists, disability specialists and other experts providing services for the homeless, children, the elderly, victims of domestic violence and substance abuse. The aim was to create a system which is very easy to manage, simple to use and affordable. We wanted to create a tool specifically for organisations operating the social care field.

Cortex was developed as a comprehensive and extremely affordable client management system. It has been found ideal by many organisations operating in the social field since it is designed to make record keeping and statistical reporting really simple. It also includes a mobile application that allows professionals and care workers to add and look up client records very quickly and easily from a mobile device.

The main challenge presented by this brief was how to organise the vast amount of information that needed to be conveyed to potential visitors in a way that made it easy for them to navigate through the app. We held various meetings with the foundation on site, where we walked through the Cathedral to experience firsthand what it has to offer. We then proceeded to work on a detailed wireframe on which we based a design prototype of the app to present to our client. Once the design was approved, the app was developed and launched on both Android and iOS.

An information rich app that provides invaluable insights into the Cathedral’s gems and a planning tool that allows users to map out their visit based on the suggested time trails. The intuitive design means that users always know where they are within the app. The high-resolution imagery and accompanying information means that the app itself can be kept as a memento of the visit.

Yellow wanted to launch a phone and tablet app that offers users one-touch access to tons of information relating to local businesses. Through the app, users would be able to search for businesses on the go, add traders to their favourites, and share contacts with friends. After meeting with the client to set out their objectives, we set about building a robust API system that gives customers a seamless platform experience, allowing them to sift through a wide range of business options in seconds. Yellow is also known for its bold and idiosyncratic brand look. We took the time to understand their brand guidelines to best adapt their branding through the design of the app.

Since launching, the Yellow app has fast become the go-to business directory app in Malta, enjoying over 70,000 downloads across Android and MacOS devices. Great care was taken to create an intuitive experience that guides users through thousands of options, allowing them to find the info their looking for with minimal delays and interruptions. This was achieved through countless hours of testing and tweaking, working hand in hand with the client to understand how they envisioned the app functioning.

We created a comprehensive search functionality that also accommodates ratings, reviews, and bookings. Another key feature was to integrate GPS functionality, allowing users to search for nearby businesses as well as get directions and routing options based on their current location.

We held numerous meetings with the MPS Ltd team that was managing the campaign and the technical auditors to understand the requirements that needed to be met through the software. The design was built on previous record keeping solutions we had previously designed which we customised for the needs of the campaign.

An application that makes audit record keeping really easy and efficient for the technical auditors and provides real time visibility, including statistical data, to the team managing the campaign.
