Blending Swiss engineering heritage with cutting-edge mobility, 4 Swiss set out to revolutionize urban transport with a new line of electric scooters. To bring their vision to life, they partnered with Codetain to develop a smart mobile application that seamlessly connects users with the vehicle's advanced hardware. The result? A powerful, intuitive app experience that unlocks the full potential of modern e-mobility—crafted with precision, powered by innovation.
Client
4Swiss is a modern lifestyle brand founded in Poland in 2014, offering a well-crafted portfolio of small kitchen appliances and e‑mobility product.
E-mobility market
With demand for sustainable personal transport rising — and infrastructure improving — consumer ownership of premium scooters, like those from 4Swiss, aligns well with aspirational buyers seeking design, reliability, and app-enabled connectivity.

The 4Swiss team needed a reliable, affordable mobile app delivered in time for the summer sales peak. It had to work seamlessly across iOS and Android platforms. With a tight schedule and clear performance goals, we faced the challenge of building a user-friendly solution quickly, efficiently, and without compromising quality.
[ Our Process ]From concept to connection
A great web application starts with design. Before diving into development, we take time to understand your requirements and create modern, user-friendly designs that align with your vision. Our frontend team works with React — not just as a library, but as an entire ecosystem that includes tools for styling, backend communication, and everything in between. We implement all projects using TypeScript to minimize errors and ensure cleaner, more reliable code.
Analysis
Understanding the hardware & end-user
Every successful digital product starts with deep insight. Our embedded systems engineer collaborated directly with the scooter manufacturer to complete the technical documentation and validate the Bluetooth protocol. We even took the scooters for real-world test rides in our company car park—putting ourselves in the shoes of the end-user. These hands-on tests led to immediate UX suggestions and functional improvements for the device itself. This early engagement wasn’t just technical—it was strategic.
Approach
Defining scope with purpose
Time was short, and the stakes were high. We worked closely with the client to define a lean, purposeful scope that balanced speed of delivery with maximum feature value. The app needed to be lightweight but impactful, and we focused on delivering high-utility features like:
Real-time speed, distance, and ride duration tracking
Cruise control and lighting control
Device locking functionality
A demo mode accessible even without owning a scooter
This phase was not about cutting corners—it was about cutting clutter.
Mapping the solution
User-centered planning
With the functional blueprint in place, we mapped out the user experience. Mockups were created to simulate real-world usage flows, ensuring that even new users could interact with the app intuitively. Feedback loops were fast and collaborative, resulting in a seamless UX that feels light but powerful. We collaborated with a partner design agency to finalize a sleek, stylish UI aligned with the 4Swiss brand—fusing red, green, and modern neutrals into a crisp interface.
Designing & delivering the solution
React Native was the clear choice: fast, scalable, and perfect for cross-platform deployment. Our development process was agile and laser-focused on performance, user experience, and visual polish. Even without a dedicated backend, we designed a streamlined support system within the app and ensured smooth device pairing, user feedback, and Bluetooth interaction. We also guided 4Swiss through their first-ever app store launch, handling app publishing, platform setup, and deployment for both Google Play and Apple App Store.
Delivered on time, built for the future
We launched the 4Swiss Scooter App just in time for the summer sales rush—exactly when users needed it most. More importantly, the foundation we built is scalable. The client is already planning new devices—and the app is ready to become the heart of a broader 4Swiss smart ecosystem.
User engagement from day one
Over 1,000 views in the App Store and dozens of installations within the first few days showed immediate interest and user adoption—without any paid promotion.
First-ever mobile app for 4Swiss
We helped 4Swiss successfully enter the mobile space, guiding them through the entire app store setup and launch process—from zero to live product.
Scalable foundation for growth
The app is now ready to support future 4Swiss devices, with plans already in motion to evolve it into a full ecosystem hub for smart product management.
