Product Development

WEMLIN

Wemlin has developed from a simple station display to a comprehensive product suite. During my time as the responsible product manager, I managed the development of mobile applications and product spin-offs. These include DFI displays (Wemlin POS) and an expert system for checking timetable and real-time data (Wemlin Data HUB). In addition, new usage concepts such as Wemlin were implemented on the AppleWatch.

Wemlin on Android, iOS and Windows smartphones

Wemlin locates the user and displays the public transport stops within a radius of 500 meters. The upcoming connections are displayed on the departure screen according to the timetable or in real time if connected to the control center.

Wemlin was one of the first Swiss apps to be published in the App Store in 2009 and was a great success. The app was awarded the BOSW in silver.

After the decision to market the app as a product, the product family grew rapidly in the years 2012-2016.
