Digital processes related to vehicles must be flexible enough to adapt to different requirements and workflows. Especially when multiple companies or clients work with a shared application, rigid functions and standardized interfaces quickly become insufficient. Different configurations, terminology, corporate designs, and process requirements must be accommodated without having to run a separate application for each user.
Based on the existing customer version, MICA was developed as an enhanced application that precisely meets these requirements. new direction GmbH specifically refined the existing solution and expanded it with features for multi-client and configurable operation.
The original solution already mapped key processes related to vehicle management. However, as requirements grew, the application needed to become more flexible and support different clients with their respective specific needs.
A key challenge was to accommodate individual requirements without having to develop and maintain the application separately for each client. Accessory lists, descriptions, required fields, and visual elements needed to be configurable and adaptable to specific requirements.
At the same time, key process steps—such as documenting via photos, sending information via email, and using the application under an appropriate licensing model—needed to be centrally managed.
new direction GmbH has expanded the existing version and, using MICA, transformed it into a multi-tenant application. The focus was on strategically supplementing the existing features while creating greater flexibility for different users and use cases.
A key component of the further development is multi-client capability. Different clients can use the application while saving their own individual settings. These include, for example, custom labels, logos, and backgrounds.
Lists and content can also be configured on a client-specific basis. For example, it is possible to specify which accessories are relevant within a client and how they are labeled in the application.
Mandatory photo features have been integrated for vehicle documentation. This ensures that defined photos are actually captured as part of the respective process.
The application thus not only supports the management of vehicle data but also ensures more consistent and traceable documentation.
In addition, email sending functions have been integrated so that information can be forwarded directly from the application. This simplifies downstream communication processes and integrates them more closely into the digital workflow.
Licensing has also been incorporated as part of the solution. This allows usage and permissions to be managed in a structured manner and adapted to specific requirements.
MICA has specifically expanded the existing vehicle management solution and made it more flexible for use with different clients. Instead of customizing an application individually for each use case, central functions can be configured and client-specific requirements can be mapped within a shared platform.
This creates a scalable foundation for various use cases. Custom logos, labels, backgrounds, and lists allow for greater customization for individual users, while standardized functions such as mandatory photos, email distribution, and licensing ensure consistent processes.
The project demonstrates how existing software can be expanded into a flexible, multi-client solution through targeted further development, without having to completely redevelop the existing foundation.
