CarPlay and driving mode: SIMON in the car

How field staff get prepared on the road without looking at the display.

4 min read

A large part of the field sales day takes place in the car. That is exactly where nobody should be looking at a display. Still, questions come up on the road: What's going on at the next customer? Is there anything new in the inbox? Will I make it on time?

Driving mode: a few large actions

When the drive starts, SIMON switches to driving mode. Instead of lists and forms there are only large buttons: start navigation, read the briefing, read the inbox, report a delay. Everything can be operated with one tap or by voice.

Driving mode. Large audio actions instead of lists and forms.
CarPlay. Eight tiles on the car display, from next stop to "Cancelled".

CarPlay: SIMON on the car display

With CarPlay, SIMON appears right in the vehicle. The grid with eight tiles covers what is needed on the road: next stop, navigation, briefing, call, inbox, delay, appointment cancelled and "Arrived". Whoever arrives is prepared without having read anything in the car.

What this changes day to day

  • Visit preparation happens during the drive
  • Delays reach the customer or the service center without a phone call
  • Time behind the wheel becomes usable without compromising safety
