Since partnering with us, Apiax has earned multiple startup awards, secured over eight million dollars in funding, and expanded their team to more than 75 members across five offices worldwide.
01
The Challenges
Creating Value for Every Stakeholder
Apiax provides tailored solutions for various stakeholders, ensuring seamless collaboration across roles. Lawyers and compliance specialists analyze regulations and translate them into binary, machine-readable rules. Compliance specialists within institutions can override these interpretations whenever they conflict with internal policies or values. Front-office bankers benefit from these digital rules by receiving clear, actionable advice on managing specific deals effectively. This approach ensures a streamlined and efficient compliance process for all involved.
Complex UX Scenario
The application is shaped by a series of constraints and rules that significantly influence the user experience. To address this, we designed an intuitive workflow that feels natural and requires minimal guidance, ensuring users can navigate the application effortlessly despite its complexity.
02
The Process
Product Scope
We centered our efforts around the business vision, developing a thorough project brief by collecting market research, competitor benchmarks, and other relevant insights. Next, we held an immersive session with Philip and his team to craft the value proposition and define the key assumptions to test. Finally, we compiled a comprehensive list of user stories and features required to validate these assumptions within the MVP.
Product Rationale and Tech Scope
After an immersive session with all the stakeholders, we had all the information we needed to create the ultimate list of User Stories and features necessary to prove the main assumptions in a Proof of Concept (POC). Our experts in Product, UX/UI and Tech Architecture focused on finding the answers to all of the questions raised throughout the scope preparation. On the tech side we elaborated a memorandum tackling our suggested approaches for tech stack selection, database technology and orchestration.
Clickable Prototype
We created a non-functional prototype to simulate user interaction, offering an experience closely resembling the final product. This phase was crucial for testing the information architecture, UX, and, most importantly, presenting a tangible outcome to all stakeholders involved.
Full Development
With the decisions closed in the previous steps, we went on developing the product through agile cycles.
