๐ Inspiration
Gas is expensive, and saving fuel is everyoneโs goal ๐ฑ. We wanted to make fuel efficiency fun, collaborative, and rewarding. By empowering Toyota drivers to share their real-world fuel data ๐, we help Toyota innovate while users score compounding gas discounts ๐ค.
๐ฏ What it does
Our app connects Toyota drivers who upload their fuel efficiency data ๐พ with Toyota employees who analyze it ๐ ๏ธ. Drivers get incentives in the form of growing gas discounts โฝ, and Toyota uses the insights to make their cars even better for the planet ๐.
๐ ๏ธ How we built it
We made a sleek Progressive Web App (PWA) ๐ฑ for drivers and a feature-rich desktop website ๐ฅ๏ธ for Toyota employees. The PWA makes it super easy to upload fuel data on the go, while the website crunches numbers and generates actionable insights ๐ก.
๐ Challenges we ran into
- Making the gas discount system stack correctly โฝโ๐ธ.
- Getting data from PWAs to integrate seamlessly with Toyotaโs backend ๐ ๏ธ.
- Designing a UI that vibes with Gen Z while staying practical for employees ๐จ๐ฅ๏ธ.
๐ Accomplishments that we're proud of
- Creating a simple way for drivers to earn rewards while helping Toyota innovate ๐โจ.
- Successfully merging PWA convenience with a robust desktop site.
- Keeping the project fun and engaging for users AND employees ๐ฏ.
๐ What we learned
- How to design for two very different audiences: casual drivers and corporate teams.
- The power of incentives to encourage data sharing ๐.
- Building a scalable PWA that doesnโt lag, even with loads of user data โก.
๐ฎ Whatโs next for Vroom
- Expand beyond Toyota and make it a platform for all car brands ๐๐.
- Gamify the app with leaderboards ๐ and weekly challenges ๐ฏ.
- Partner with gas stations for even cooler perks for drivers โฝ๐.
