Scania needed a custom TCO calculation tool—built specifically for mobile—that could deliver quick, accurate cost assessments across a wide variety of operational parameters.

But there were several layers of complexity:

• Translating a traditionally desktop-based analysis process into an intuitive mobile experience.

• Ensuring the tool could handle a wide range of input variables like acquisition cost, operational expenses, and maintenance overhead.

• Aligning diverse stakeholder needs, from technical teams to field sales representatives.

The client needed more than a calculator, they needed a decision-making tool that was reliable, scalable, and user-friendly.

Through hands-on consulting, Barnstorming helped transform Scania’s vision into a fully realized mobile TCO toolset—designed to simplify cost analysis, support field sales, and scale with the business.

1. Consultation & Requirements Definition
   We began by deeply understanding Scania’s business goals and how a mobile TCO tool would support sales and customer success. We gathered detailed requirements around cost inputs, user needs, and internal infrastructure.

2. Market & Infrastructure Analysis
   We benchmarked existing tools and audited Scania’s systems to assess cost structures, integration points, and likely constraints in deployment.

3. UX/UI Design Oversight
   With our strategic guidance, the project team developed user personas, intuitive wireframes, and a clean, touch-optimized interface. We prioritized clarity in data input and result visualization for real-world field usage.

4. Development & Integration Support
   We partnered with Scania’s dev team to guide:

   • Backend architecture (data models, APIs)

   • Frontend implementation using mobile frameworks

   • Integration with third-party services for live data calculations

5. Testing & Quality Assurance
   We ensured the tool worked seamlessly across devices, maintained calculation accuracy, and delivered a consistent UX regardless of screen size or platform.

6. Launch & Post-Launch Support
   Our team supported deployment to app stores and coordinated with marketing for a successful rollout. We stayed engaged post-launch to help Scania collect user feedback and identify areas for enhancement.

Barnstorming provided strategic oversight across every phase of the project—from uncovering user needs and system requirements to shaping the UX and supporting deployment—ensuring the TCO toolset delivered measurable value from day one.

• Strategic Alignment: The mobile TCO tool helped bridge the gap between technical analysis and on-the-ground sales support.

• Mobile-First Advantage: Sales reps and customers could now simulate cost scenarios anytime, anywhere—empowering quicker decisions.

• Operational Efficiency: Scania streamlined the TCO consultation process, reducing reliance on manual spreadsheets and disconnected tools.

• Future-Ready Design: The toolset was built with scalability in mind, allowing for new features and enhancements without major redesigns.
