Cooking gas, delivered.
Buying cooking gas usually means carrying a cylinder to a merchant and carrying it back. BuyGas put the merchants on a platform and the delivery on a map, so the cylinder comes to you.
The challenge
Two sides had to be served at once. Customers want a price, a time and a way to see where their order is. Merchants want orders they can actually fulfil, without a second job managing an app. Neither side tolerates a slow or confusing flow when the alternative is a short walk.
The work · 3 moves
What we actually did.
Not a logo and a landing page. A full effort across strategy, brand, content and engineering — here’s the play-by-play.
- Mobile app
- Delivery
- PaaS
- 01
Order in a few taps
Size, address, time. The ordering path is short enough to finish while the kettle boils.
- 02
Merchants on the platform
A dashboard for the people filling the orders, built around what they need to see on a busy afternoon rather than what looks good in a demo.
- 03
Tracked to the doorstep
The order has a state you can look at, so nobody has to ring to find out where the gas is.
How our awesomeness made it happen.
The moves that turned the brief into a result.
Delivery tracking
From tap to doorstep, visible on both sides of the order.
Built for a handset
Designed phone first, because that is where the order is placed.
Inside the build.
A closer look at the work as it shipped.
The result
Proof it worked.
- Two-sided customers and merchants
- Mobile ordering and tracking
- 2023 designed and built
And this is just the tip
There’s a lot more where this came from.
One project, told in full. We’ve shipped dozens more across agritech, health, media, property, commerce and platforms.
