This one is the Polo 6: this model is bigger, more sportive, and more luxurious. 

Like the Seat Ibiza, the Polo has a manual gearbox. 

She runs on petrol and offers a comfortable autonomy of 600km. 

Small so easy to park but big enough to take your friend to the seaside.

❤️ The Volkswagen Polo has been awarded five stars from Euro NCAP, which is the maximum safety score that can be achieved in a crash test.    

The Polo is intercity. This means you can take one from Antwerp to Brussels and make a stop in Mechelen. Planning to travel? This is also the one you'll drive to the airport. 🛫 Of course, you can travel around Belgium, just bring it back to the Poppy zone once you're done. Do you really want to test this new car? There are 50 of them at the moment. Go in your app 📲, add filters so you only see cars on the map 📍

Say 👋🏼 to the Volkswagen Polo! New in the Poppy fleet.

Did you know you can find your favorite mobility partner within multimodal app for a fully integrated solution ? In order to offer you the best mobility options, Poppy decided from the start to be fully integrated in multimodal app. But what does this really mean and where to find it ?  

🚗🛵🛴 What's a multimodal mobility ? 

"Multimodal Mobility is Creating People-centric Transport.  Multimodal mobility is becoming an opportunity to provide seamless-interconnected journeys and a space for reimaging the movement within urban cities."  The first trend is the shift from car-centricity to user-centricity. People no longer want to pay for expensive cars and all related costs. That means they are looking for alternatives. On top of that, people seem to move from owned cars to shared cars. The way they go from a point A to B becomes completely different. That's finally where multimodal applications are the most relevant.  What's unique with shared mobility at Poppy ? You pay as you go. As simple as that !

Whether you are alone or with a family, whether you are going to work or to university, whether you move early in the morning or late at night, mobility solutions are everywhere. And Poppy is one of them ! Future mobility as we see it at Poppy is a combination of mobility solutions : public transports, Poppy shared mobility services, bike sharing,... Depending on where you want to go, on budget, on time you have and so many other criteria's, you have a range of options to easily reach your destination. 

🗺 In which app can you find Poppy combined with others solutions ? 

At the moment, this is where you can find Poppy :

👉🏼 Smart ways to Antwerp : over the last few years, a lot of road works have been started. Don’t be trapped in it. Thanks to a unique route planner proposed by Smart ways to Antwerp, you will be able to access the city quickly. By leaving your car on a carpool parking and then take public transports, or by using Poppy and leave your vehicle wherever you want in the Poppy zone, you will get faster to your destination. All Poppy vehicles are available in the app.  👀 Read more about Smart ways to Antwerp.

What is so special about Mechelen ? OMG, are you ready ? 🕺🏻  

The "Grote markt" : "The Grote Markt, the central square in the historic centre, is dominated by St Rumbold's Tower. You can see it wherever you are. On the other side of the square is the Town Hall. Look at the houses round the Grote Markt. They are from different times and in different styles, including sixteenth-century renaissance and eighteenth-century rococo." 👉 Continue reading 

The "Vismarkt" : "Fish was first traded on the Vismarkt in 1531, after the fish merchants were expelled from the IJzerenleen because of complaints about the smell of fish. There are still a few fish shops on the square today. The Vismarkt and the adjoining Nauwstraat are a hive of activity into the small hours. In the relaxed 'brown cafés', the stylish modern lounge bars and the trendy restaurants you will meet young and young-at-heart Mechelaars." 👉 Continue reading 

The "Korenmarkt' : "Having been given a makeover in 2011, the Korenmarkt is now a delightful place to chill out. In 2013 the square was even nominated for the 'Public Space Prize'. When the weather is fine you can soak up the relaxed atmosphere of the square at one of the street cafés or from the steps." 👉 Continue reading 

 Go to "Bruul" : "The Bruul is Mechelen's busiest shopping street. You may know it fromthe game of Monopoly. You can shop here to your heart's content in largehigh-street chains and charming boutiques." 👉 Continue reading 

Go to the cultural Square : "Around the square are the Cultural Centre, the Academy, the Municipal Conservatory and De Garage, space for contemporary art." 👉 Continue reading

But we don't say more. Thibaut, CTO at Poppy, tells you everything 🤖 📲 👇🏼

🎙 THIBAUT, CAN YOU PRESENT THE TEAM ?                 

     
We’re just 5 in the Product Engineering department: Arnaud, Nordine, Simon, Wout and myself. Everybody is what we call a fullstack developer which means anyone can develop parts of the mobile app or of the platform behind it. Additionally we all wear multiple hats of product management 📲, data science 🧠 or even interface design. 👨🏻‍🎨

🎙 WHEN AND WHY DID YOU DECIDE TO CREATE A 100% IN HOUSE APPLICATION ? 


One year ago, we realized we had reached the limit in terms of customization with the turnkey solution that was powering our previous app. That solution is what allowed POPPY to take off but ultimately we wanted full control of the product roadmap to better serve the needs of our customers and improve the efficiency of operations. 🚀

🎙 WHEN DID YOU ACTUALLY START AND WHAT WAS THE PROCESS ?        

         
We started precisely 10 months ago with a bare bone minimal app. The goal was to be able to iterate quickly from a prototype that allowed you to book and drive almost from the beginning. From there we worked in “sprints” of 4 weeks, each iteration bringing new features and improvements. After 5 months we had reached a good level of usability and released the app internally so around November 2020. In February we asked some of our most active users to test a preview version of the app. We tried our best to respond to the feedback we received by improving, refining and fixing every feature. 🤝

🎙 WHAT WERE THE MAIN CHALLENGES AND WHAT WAS THE IMPACT OF THE COVID SITUATION ? HOW DID YOU ADJUST ?                


Covid confinement measures were put in place around the time we started working on the app. Since the team is very new we only got to work all in the same room for 2 months. That was kind of a downer for team spirit but I think that overall we adjusted well for two reasons: one being that we often have on ongoing call on Slack that anybody can join or leave whenever they want so nobody was left on their own and second the very nature of coding actually requires some quiet focused time.

🎙 WHAT CAN PEOPLE EXPECT FROM THIS NEW APP & WHAT ARE YOU THE MOST PROUD OF ?        


The release of the new app is only the beginning. It’s basically a clean slate that will allow us to move faster, update the app very often to release new features and bugfixes at a good pace. I’m the most proud of the team which put a lot of intelligence and effort into this adventure and of the whole POPPY asskicking team in general as everybody always supported us the best they could by testing, adjusting their way of working or helping deal with customers' feedback. 

🎙 WHAT ARE YOUR PLANS FOR THE UPCOMING WEEKS OR MONTHS ?     

            
There’s going to be a phase where we stabilize the app even further. Even with a thousand beta testers you cannot anticipate all the issues that could happen when you onboard thousands more. Then we have this big IOT project where we’re going to replace the hardware of our cars with a better solution providing more telematics data and more accurate GPS location.
Finally there’s a big part of the work that is not customer facing that we put aside for a while that we’re going to have to tackle: backoffice interfaces, monitoring for operations, etc. 📊

🎙 WHAT WOULD YOU CHANGE IF YOU HAD KNOWN ? 


In the preview versions of the app you still authenticated on the new app with your email. At the very last minute we decided to change that to an sms authentication. Starting with SMS would have avoided us quite some additional work. People are just used to authenticating on mobile with their phone number just like they do on Whatsapp. Actually lots of our users don’t even have a configured email account reachable from their phone. I wish we had understood that earlier.

🎙 FUNNY STORY TO TELL OR SECRET TO REVEAL ?


Let’s just say that physical fuel cards in a glove box are soon going to be a thing of the past 😉

To celebrate this BIG news, enjoy 3 euros FREE credits with the code* : APPMAZING 

*Code valid until 30/04/2021 included. Only in the new app.
