Case Study: Brompton Bike Hire achieves a successful Paris Olympics launch with Absolute Design

Brompton Bike Hire launches France-ready app with Absolute Design after major Laravel, October CMS and PHP upgrades

Brompton Bike Hire, a UK-based provider of eco-friendly folding bike rentals, partnered with Absolute Design to upgrade their app for international expansion into France. Their challenge was to modernize the application to support multiple languages and currencies and overhaul its outdated underlying technology to ensure a successful launch timed with the Paris Olympics.

Absolute Design executed a comprehensive technical upgrade, migrating the app to October CMS 3.6, Laravel 9, and PHP 8.2 for enhanced performance, security, and scalability. The solution delivered a seamless, multilingual, and multi-currency experience with real-time bike availability. This positioned Brompton Bike Hire to capitalize on the massive influx of visitors during the Olympics, supporting their growth into the French market and beyond.
