UK businesses are responsible for trading over £800bn worth of goods globally each year, yet many do not have access to the key information and products necessary to enable them to trade internationally with ease, speed and safety. The need for de-risking international trade has never been higher as complexities have multiplied as a result of COVID-19 and as the UK gets closer to facing the uncertainties of post-Brexit trade deals.
Entrepreneur Mark Heath recognised these challenges and developed a business plan to create a digital platform with the power to transform the international trading experience for UK businesses.
Known as Open Borders Direct (OBD), he chose to collaborate with 6point6 to turn his plan into a digital reality.
Working alongside Mark to understand his proposition and business plan, we carried out an in-depth digital discovery, the results of which were validated with user research with UK businesses.
Using this insight, we created the vision for a new, innovative digital service to solve the challenges faced by UK businesses when trading internationally.
“6point6 make it their business to understand your business idea – from the challenges and the vision, to the customer pain points and customer experience.” Mark Heath, Founder.
Working to a realistic delivery plan, we designed and developed a clickable prototype which focused on solving the challenges identified during the research process.
From digital discovery to designing the minimum viable product, we combined digital insight with best in class technical partners as follows:
