After receiving this request, Afrorian was was able to engage additional 10 interviews with individuals that were a much better fit for the new insights and the required reporting.Summing up
The client ended up with a clear understanding of the market segments and the pain points, resulting from fleet management challenges for each group, which contributed to their new and improved solution.
