Welcome to Frantic. We take your business personally.

The Helsinki region public transit’s (HSL) city bike program’s iconical yellow bikes were put under the microscope after the pilot season was over in autumn 2016. Frantic stepped into the picture as HSL’s digital service design lead in January 2017 and took on the challenge of improving and including new features into the popular service during the next two bikeshare seasons. 

Retiring or starting a rehabilitation process is a big life change. Applying for a benefit and tracking the progress of the application process should be as easy and smooth as possible. Our client Varma, a Finnish pension insurance company, wanted to improve the customer experience of their beneficiaries, so together we embarked on a journey to develop the user experience, usability, and accessibility of their online service.

Our technical expert led the multi-vendor development team from the first lines of code all the way to the launch of the service.

When our service design school project came to an end in December 2020, we were feeling wistful but inspired. What was actually done and what was the outcome of this interesting design project? And ultimately: what did we learn?

The design sprint is an innovative five-phase method that helps to solve complex problems in just a few days. Too good to be true? We don’t think so. Here's an example of how we used it to help our client to define the specifics of their new intranet. 

How could kids better influence their own well-being and feel more included in the ever-changing world we live in? That was the starting point when we kicked off our service design school project, where sixth-graders from Tampere became digital product designers.

As the stormy weather roared outside in the November morning darkness, over 100 attendees clicked their way to join our online event on agile team leadership.

Frantic had the pleasure of hosting Inklusiiv’s inaugural Breakfast Club event on Thursday, October 8th, 2020 on the theme of inclusivity in digital service design.

When we’re heading into a new project or renewing an existing service, how do we make sure that we really listen to our customers, the end-users? Whose experiences, needs, and wishes should we be interested in, and how do we reach them?

What have you always wanted to know about web accessibility? We asked our network to ask us anything, and now our accessibility experts give their two cents.

Content is an integral part of digital services. Still, it’s often overlooked when we design the ins and outs of user interfaces. How does UX writing help in creating successful user experiences and how can we measure that success? 

During the past few years, agile service and product development has become a cornerstone of Finnish business and technology development. This has brought up new challenges that we face and solve together with our clients.
