Self-service portal with signing solution for the Danish Energy Agency
The Danish Energy Agency is a public authority under the Ministry of Climate, Energy and Supply that works with a wide range of tasks in Denmark's energy and supply sector. Ongoing regulations in legislation in the energy field have meant that the Danish Energy Agency is experiencing a continuous increase in case processing tasks. With the development of the new self-service portal, we have helped with the automation and efficiency of these, so that the Danish Energy Agency can provide citizens with a more efficient service and focus on the tasks where it adds value to handling the process manually.
MobilePay turns 10 years old
With more than 5.8 million users, MobilePay has been downloaded on 90% of all smartphones in Denmark, exceeding all expectations since the app was launched back in 2013.

An app for the modern workplace
Wørk is a powerful app for today's hybrid workplace. The app allows you to share information about internal activities and errands. For example, you can ensure daily planning for colleagues and make holidays, dental appointments and sick days visible, as well as special occasions such as summer parties and Christmas parties. There was no solution when the need arose for us, so we decided to design and build our own app, which became Wørk.

Alf has been with us for a year and a half, following his time at Dinesen and SimpleFeast and a longer independent career. He has mastered the flexible working day; his schedule is tailored to his personal efficiency curve and lifestyle. On top of that, he's the office DJ.

Software-defined visual storytelling in an online product catalogue
Vizrt is the world's leading provider of visual tools used by content creators in the broadcasting, sports and e-sports industries. They offer creative tools for 3D graphics, video, sports analytics and visual journalism. Vizrt wanted Charlie Tango's help to create a website that would support their many great animations in a modern and contemporary style.

A digital presence that brings members closer
Dansk Erhverv is one of Denmark's largest employers' organizations with a vision to be the preferred advisor for the business comunity. As part of achieving this, Dansk Erhverv wanted a strong digital presence and therefore initiated, in collaboration with Charlie Tango, a strategic project with a focus on optimizing the brand, increasing content relevance and revitalizing the visual expression.
A vibrant and dynamic e-commerce platform for desktop and mobile
Sticks'n'Sushi is known for its quality sushi and yakitori sticks that appeal to both families and trendsetters. The restaurant chain is one of Denmark's most successful and differentiates itself by offering a memorable restaurant experience. They endeavour to offer quality service as well as luxurious aesthetics with a personal, local twist to each restaurant. We helped Sticks-n-Sushi bring this aesthetic to their digital universe.
Digitalisation of Danish democracy
Denmark is world-renowned for having a transparent and open political environment, where the individual citizen has a say in who can run for parliamentary elections. In 2018, a new law on voter declarations came into force, and the then Ministry of Social Affairs and Interior wanted a more transparent model for collecting voter declarations. We helped with concept development and designed and built the final solution. We did this based on our extensive experience in developing public digital solutions that are both secure and easy to use.
An app that brings citizens closer to their health data
Behind Sundhed.dk are Danish regions, the Ministry of Interior and Health and the National Association of Municipalities. The portal provides health data to citizens and health professionals and ensures communication between them. We helped Sundhed.dk developing the citizen-facing app, MinSundhed, and used our extensive experience with UX strategy, concept development and app design.
A portal that made new legislation come to live
The Parliamentary Committee Secretariat helps politicians with reports, bills and motions, among other things. When the law on citizens' proposals became a reality, it was also decided that the new option for submitting proposals to the Danish Parliament should be online. The Parliamentary Committee Secretariat wanted an easily accessible citizen-centred solution that met their process requirements for internal processing. We therefore planned a project that combined a user-centred approach and a strong focus on their internal processes and workflows.
Wireless card payment via your smartphone
In 1983, Nets first introduced the Dankort: a national debit card that has since become the preferred payment method in Denmark. The Dankort has been a trusted brand for more than three decades, ensuring its considerable commercial success. However, as digitalisation progressed throughout the 2010s, the Dankort saw its position threatened by increasing competition from digital payment solutions. Therefore, Nets partnered with Charlie Tango, who had extensive experience with digital banking solutions, to develop a Dankort app.
Most downloaded and used app in Denmark
Danske Bank is one of the largest banks in Denmark. They have been around for more than 150 years and are a well-known player in the Danish private and business economy. They strive to be a driving force for growth and development in society, and have evolved along with society and helped shape the development. Not least digitally and thus also in terms of mobile payment. With our vast experience in creating apps, we were asked to help with the development of the basic concept and first version of what became known as MobilePay.
