Building a comprehensive, intuitive WiFi management system

Founded in 2015, Plume set out to deliver steady, reliable internet connections in every home, without the need for technical know-how or expensive hardware. Starting with aesthetically pleasing home WiFi devices, Plume came to Povio in 2017 with the goal of upgrading and expanding their service with a user-friendly WiFi management app. Now six years later–post Unicorn designation and successful acquisition–Povio continues to support Plume with a dedicated team of designers and developers.

Project requirements & goals

When Plume approached Povio, they had an impressive hardware product, and it was time to extend and optimize their offering to make it more user-friendly and integrated. Some of the team’s specific goals and requirements included:

  • Designing an intuitive, engaging user interface
  • Developing an efficient network management system
  • Generating real-time layouts of spaces in homes
  • Tracking device and application usage on the network
  • Building an advanced eCommerce solution for seamless transactions

A collaborative, integrated partnership

Plume came to Povio with clear goals and a robust hardware product. Our team undertook the project with a dual approach: not only developing the WiFi management app but also creating a robust eCommerce platform. In transitioning from a hardware product to a comprehensive mobile app, we struck a balance between servicing existing users and attracting new ones, while delivering an enhanced user experience and more intuitive navigation for managing home networks.
