๐Ÿš€ Inspiration

Gas is expensive, and saving fuel is everyoneโ€™s goal ๐ŸŒฑ. We wanted to make fuel efficiency fun, collaborative, and rewarding. By empowering Toyota drivers to share their real-world fuel data ๐Ÿ“Š, we help Toyota innovate while users score compounding gas discounts ๐Ÿค‘.


๐ŸŽฏ What it does

Our app connects Toyota drivers who upload their fuel efficiency data ๐Ÿ’พ with Toyota employees who analyze it ๐Ÿ› ๏ธ. Drivers get incentives in the form of growing gas discounts โ›ฝ, and Toyota uses the insights to make their cars even better for the planet ๐ŸŒŽ.


๐Ÿ› ๏ธ How we built it

We made a sleek Progressive Web App (PWA) ๐Ÿ“ฑ for drivers and a feature-rich desktop website ๐Ÿ–ฅ๏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 ๐Ÿ’ก.


๐Ÿ˜… Challenges we ran into

  • Making the gas discount system stack correctly โ›ฝโž•๐Ÿ’ธ.
  • Getting data from PWAs to integrate seamlessly with Toyotaโ€™s backend ๐Ÿ› ๏ธ.
  • Designing a UI that vibes with Gen Z while staying practical for employees ๐ŸŽจ๐Ÿ–ฅ๏ธ.

๐ŸŽ‰ Accomplishments that we're proud of

  • Creating a simple way for drivers to earn rewards while helping Toyota innovate ๐Ÿš—โœจ.
  • Successfully merging PWA convenience with a robust desktop site.
  • Keeping the project fun and engaging for users AND employees ๐Ÿ’ฏ.

๐Ÿ“š What we learned

  • How to design for two very different audiences: casual drivers and corporate teams.
  • The power of incentives to encourage data sharing ๐Ÿ™Œ.
  • Building a scalable PWA that doesnโ€™t lag, even with loads of user data โšก.

๐Ÿ”ฎ Whatโ€™s next for Vroom

  • Expand beyond Toyota and make it a platform for all car brands ๐Ÿš™๐ŸŒ.
  • Gamify the app with leaderboards ๐Ÿ† and weekly challenges ๐ŸŽฏ.
  • Partner with gas stations for even cooler perks for drivers โ›ฝ๐ŸŽ.
