The Problem

Exide is a global leader in stored energy solutions, producing batteries for a wide range of vehicles. Their product team wanted to enhance the EBT Tester hardware with a digital companion app to simplify battery replacement.

For mechanics, selecting the correct battery was often slow and error-prone:
➔ Manual data entry took time and led to mistakes
➔ Recommendations weren’t always clear or consistent
➔ Customers waited longer for results and often lacked understanding of their options

Exide’s challenge: create a tool that connects seamlessly with the EBT Tester, reduces complexity, and gives mechanics and vehicle owners fast, reliable recommendations.

The Solution

Working with ASPER BROTHERS, Exide built a mobile-first Progressive Web Application (PWA) designed for repair shop environments. The app connects directly with the EBT Tester via QR code scanning and integrates with external APIs to pull accurate, real-time battery data.

The user journey was mapped around speed and simplicity:

Mechanic enters vehicle details or scans license plate
EBT Tester results are imported via QR code or manual entry
System retrieves matching data from Exide’s catalog and external APIs
Recommended batteries are displayed clearly
A detailed report is generated and shared with the vehicle owner

This streamlined flow cut down on steps, reduced errors, and provided a professional customer-facing report at the end.

Feedback from the client

Client feedback speaks louder than any case study

Working with ASPER to develop our MVP was an excellent experience. Their approach helped us quickly identify and focus on the core functionality we needed. Within a short time frame, we had an interactive prototype that allowed us to visualize the final product. The development phase progressed smoothly, and the result exceeded our initial expectations. ASPER delivered a solution that met our needs and delighted our users.
