PROJECT OVERVIEW

An ecosystem of smart products

Puffco is a cannabis tech startup specializing in the creation of premium consumption experiences for the modern-day cannabis consumer. With a growing demand for new products and technology in a booming industry, cannabis product lifecycles struggle as consumers migrate to the next latest technology. As a result, companies have a hard time keeping up, products end up in the trash due to obsolescence, and consumers have a hard time finding value. Puffco aims to resolve that issue by providing a platform for Puffco and its users to continually optimize their products to fit market demands and user needs.

The Process

Developing a strong strategy was key in the development of this app, as it required the alignment of multiple disciplines to release an app in harmony with its hardware counterpart. As the product evolved and features were solidified, we were able to build a matrix to help determine the app feature set and architecture.
