THE BRIEF
New way to track emissions: The Story Behind a Co2 Tracker App
Quambio helps you track the CO2 emissions of your transports and swap reductions for product rebates and services while being part of a community of like-minded people motivated by environmental issues.
Research
Deconstructing the Carbon Conundrum
Did you know that every second a car emits 8cm cube concentrated CO2? This means that every trip, whether it’s work-related or not, generates hundreds of such cubes.
We were tasked with creating a mobile app that empowered users to break down the complexities of their carbon footprint into bite-sized, actionable insights. This wasn't just about tracking numbers; it was about igniting a spark of conscious consumption and eco-friendly action within each user. In fact, every 100km a car emits as much CO2 as an adult tree can remove from the atmosphere in a year.
With Quambio, you can make a difference. Our app encourages you to leave your car behind for short trips to work, the grocery store, or anywhere else in town. Whether you choose to walk, bike, or use an electric scooter, it all adds up to a more sustainable future. Download Quambio today and start making a positive impact.
As we delved into the world of our users, we charted their journeys with precision, mapping the pathways that define their interactions with technology. In doing so, we not only identified touchpoints but also dissected and analyzed pain points—those critical moments when user satisfaction encounters friction.
The goal was clear: to create a product that transcends the ordinary, one that resonates with users on a profound level. The Co2 tracker app we envisioned isn't merely a tool; it's a solution crafted with precision, empathy, and a keen understanding of the intricacies that define user experiences.

Where Innovation meets Intuition
We conducted a thorough analysis of the source material and optimised the sign-up and login flow to improve efficiency. Our endeavour commenced with a comprehensive exploration, a profound mapping of user needs, technical possibilities, and design aesthetics.
When starting a project from scratch, it’s essential to have a comprehensive understanding of each feature set and how they interact with one another across the backend, frontend, and design interactions. Our team utilized classification methods to map out these features and outlined how they would connect with each other to establish the product architecture.
To ensure the validity and effectiveness of our product interactions, we conducted extensive ideations using both paper and digital wireframes.
These collaborative efforts gave rise to a blueprint that goes beyond conventional boundaries, incorporating unique features that set the Co2 tracker app apart. Whether it's intuitive user interfaces, real-time data visualization, or personalized insights, every detail was meticulously considered and strategically implemented.
As the blueprint crystallized, it became more than just a technical guide—it became a narrative, a story of innovation and foresight. The Co2 tracker app, in its embryonic stage, embodies the collective spirit of our team, a testament to our commitment to pushing the boundaries of what's possible.
