Brocolle | Social App by Axon

overview

[01]

Business challenges

The modern life of students is difficult. In order to rent an apartment, get a job, buy or sell different items or find events a student must utilize different platforms and applications in order to acquire each thing separately. The challenge of the client was to combine needs of students into one easy-to-use iOS application and address a student’s personal security at the same time.

Solution

Axon developed an application which is the day-to-day student’s application for the iPhone. The target audience of the app is US students. For the purpose of security and in order to restrict access for non-college users, only owners of emails with university (.edu) domains may sign up. Brocolle uses the location services facility on a user's mobile device to:

  • Suggest the most relevant content restricted to the university setting.
  • Helps to protect students from fraud and theft.

Students may only see and publish the ads within their campus. Such an approach provides a highly secure social network for students by limiting access to the community utilizing (.edu) domain verification.

Expected results

  • Complete involvement in student’s community life by creating an environment for buying/selling goods, renting, finding events, etc.
  • Ability to rent an apartment based on subleasing and decrease monthly bill.
  • Easy finding any events, goods by using geolocation.
