LocalLens

LocalLens connects vacationers with expert local photographers. They reached out to us to help them enhance their existing business process, and help them serve customers more efficiently.

The Challenge

Local Lens is a destination vacation photography service that connects vacationers with local photographers in over 200 locations worldwide. They needed a partner to execute their vision for a bespoke application that would enable their unique business cycle. The application needed to meet the needs of their vacationer clients, as well as manage photographer on-ramping and deliverables.

Capturing the unique business processes

Curious Minds and the team at LocalLens worked together to look at their existing online business process. Together we were able to identify several key areas that were causing friction, and could be optimized. Based on our deep dive, Curious Minds designed and delivered a new user interface that captured an ideal process flow. We refined that user interfaces through rounds of client feedback, until we had the process nailed.

Enhancing User Flows

We utilized a Kanban-style task flow for the photographer interfaces, and connected that flow to live push notifications that drive the state of the user interface, allowing the Local Lens team and their clients receive updates in real time. enhancements.

Updates & Maintenance

Launching an application is only the beginning of the story. Application support and maintenance is critical to ensure the long term success of a project. Our support developers work with the team at Local Lens on a weekly basis, not just to maintain the application, but to integrate new features and enhancements.
