CSS, a Swiss health insurer, wanted to revamp its customer portal, setting a new standard in customer experience and consolidating its position as a digital pioneer in the industry. The existing portal, used by nearly 1 million policyholders via web and mobile app, would be upgraded with expanded functionality, a refreshed design, revamped architecture, and a modernised technical foundation—further extending CSS’s lead over competitors. The insurer selected Zühlke as its technology partner to support the development of the new customer portal and maintain the existing one throughout the transition period. CSS & Zühlke: partners in delivering a high-quality end product Working collaboratively with CSS’s internal development team, our front-end and back-end specialists implemented a modern new structure. The new UI/UX concept was transformed into a high-quality, cross-platform application through an agile Scrum process and a DevOps mindset. Constant dialogue with technical and infrastructure departments enabled navigation through the complex domain, allowing for rapid improvements and adjustments. Ongoing testing by representatives from the development and technical departments ensured a stable, premium product. ' Thanks to Zühlke's expertise, we were able to successfully scale our project team. Their in-depth expertise, reliability and extensive experience were key factors in the successful relaunch of our customer portal. Zühlke integrated seamlessly, complemented our team in a remarkable way and helped us to exceed our goals. We are extremely grateful for the valuable partnership.
