Chargebox meets the immediate needs of both the mobile business sector and their consumers by providing the means to renew a device's battery on the move. The business has surged forward and demand has been overwhelming with over 350 sales enquiries being received since launch this year. Central to this success is the design and engineering of a product which seamlessly answers all the needs of the business (low unit cost, durability and a small footprint) with the demands of the consumer, combining the elements of highly recognisable brand driven design with a user experience which is secure, simple and intuitive.
'As first movers in this business it was essential that we get the consumer experience and interaction right. Design Stream's technical work in rapidly highlighting and demonstrating how the machine would work and how cheaply and quickly this could be implemented were vital in making sure we could fully make this business a success' said Toby Staveley, MD of Boxbrands.
An extremely positive response from industry stalwarts like Vodafone and The Carphone Warehouse has prompted Design Stream to assess the potential of exploring other revenue streams such as WiFi in the product, or indeed the possibility of creating a desktop version of the machine.
Powering Up - Chargebox Updated
Chargebox is an easily accessible means for consumers to charge mobile phones and other devices outside the home. Research shows that uninterrupted phone access is of increasing importance to consumers and network operators are heavily promoting even greater usage. However, industry growth is currently hindered by a simple problem - increased handset functionality places greater strain on battery life.
