Background

Jaguar Land Rover, renowned for its luxury vehicles and commitment to customer satisfaction, sought a solution to streamline and modernize its service center operations. Recognizing the importance of efficiency and convenience, the company — partnered with Mago, a technology solutions provider — decided to implement a fully automated Key-Locker system for contactless key drop-off and retrieval.

To bring this vision to life, IronPlane and Snowdog were entrusted with designing an intuitive and user-friendly interface that would ensure seamless operation for a diverse range of users. Our role was to create a modern UX/UI that enabled customers to deposit keys, select services, or report issues — all without requiring direct interaction with service staff.
