Tracking success
Brim EV has recently launched and is gradually being adopted by users as our client base expands with new charger installations.
Tracking success will take time; as the app's user base grows, user experience issues are likely to arise and will be addressed accordingly.
Key metrics to monitor include:
Engagement with features
Number of users
Reported bugs
