Case Study: The Kurt König Group launches a tool-sharing mobile app with Helmes

Building a Tool-Sharing Mobile App With an Effortless User Experience

The Kurt König Group, a long-established German construction industry business, sought to expand with a new tool-sharing service powered by a mobile app. They partnered with Helmes to develop this new digital business model, which required creating a seamless user experience for renting equipment.

Helmes developed the "kurts" iOS and Android app, which integrated with physical tool lockbox stations, secure payment and identity verification systems, and an admin dashboard. The solution was successfully launched, winning a digital champions award and expanding its service across Germany and into other European markets. Helmes's work later evolved the app into a full marketplace, connecting users with local rental companies and a wider variety of tools.
