Live more efficiently and minimize costly repairs

With homeownership on the rise, more people are faced with an assortment of tasks to keep everything in good repair. Signs for things like when to mow your grass might be pretty obvious but other maintenance tasks are less front-and-center, especially for those who are acclimating after years of renting. With a customizable to-do list that’s tailored around specific items and systems in a home, Upkeep equips users with the tools, knowledge, and instruction to perform general maintenance and cleaning for just about everything in your home.

The people at BlueLabel understood our vision and did an impressive job at building something we now know our audience will love. Plus, they did an excellent job with the overall strategy which gave us a lot of perspective for the long run and what’s to come.

The Solution

We first worked with the team in a Design Sprint to answer questions as well as nail down branding and the app’s general aesthetics. After testing the prototype, we refined the UI/UX using React Native around feedback as well as developed the various pieces for the backend of the app. By working with their team, we created the logic for all the different elements to form a cohesive user journey that allows users to organize and automate a wide variety of tasks that prolong the life of appliances and help homeowners live more efficiently.

Great app! We have owned our home for about 13 years and apparently don't know anything about anything! We have had to deal with issues as they pop up and most of them were caused by our lack of knowledge. This is super useful to help you learn about different things in your house, help your appliances last longer by properly maintaining them and avoid any potential issues. Maybe even save money on unnecessary repairs. Highly recommend!
