Super-app UI refinement for i-riide

i-riide, a Swiss startup in the smart urban mobility space, needed to revamp its super-app that combined several services. The app included parking, car sharing, EV charging, and delivery. When i-riide approached Bamboo Apps, the company was preparing to raise investment.

The client requested a UI/UX audit and a redesign of major app elements. Here, the goal was to make the product more user-friendly and bring it in line with modern apps like Omio. i-riide already had an early version of the app, but it lacked visual consistency and required refinement. The client also needed a partner who could work with a non-technical product owner and provide consultative input rather than just production work.

Bamboo Apps began with competitor research and an evaluation of the existing user flows. The team then proposed several improvement options – with the focus on three primary areas.

Flow optimisation

Our first priority was to optimise key user flows. Bamboo Apps’ designer examined the car-booking process and found ways to reduce it from roughly ten steps to just a few. They also simplified the overall navigation and worked to match the logic of different services with the emerging super-app structure.

Visual refinement

Next, the Bamboo Apps team refined the visual style and prepared comprehensive UI kits in Figma. The kits covered:

• home screen
• car-sharing flow
• booking flow
• booking history.

The goal was to create visual consistency across the different services within the app.

Strategic recommendations

Beyond the visual output, Bamboo Apps delivered a set of structured UI/UX recommendations. These served as a guide for the client’s future development of the super-app concept. Moreover, the recommendations directly supported the company’s upcoming fundraising milestones by giving a clearer product vision to present.
