Despite dramatic technological evolution over the past decade, one of the most fundamental smartphone functions—your contacts app—has remained stubbornly static. Every day, professionals and entrepreneurs struggle with clunky interfaces, cumbersome data entry, and a lack of meaningful connectivity. The reality is stark: most business cards end up discarded, and vital networking opportunities are lost due to outdated methods.Recognizing this, serial entrepreneur Brigitte set out to redefine how we exchange and manage information. CIRQIL isn’t just an upgrade—it’s a complete reinvention. This platform transforms the mundane act of saving a phone number into a dynamic, multi‑dimensional experience. By seamlessly integrating features such as expiring contacts, detailed profile sharing, group management, and in‑app communication, CIRQIL creates an ecosystem where every connection is secure, customizable, and instantly actionable. Whether you’re attending a conference or networking over coffee, CIRQIL ensures that every interaction is efficient and empowering.
The Ultimate Platform for Dynamic, Secure Networking
Even in today’s fast‑paced digital world, the humble contacts list remains a relic—overly simplistic, inefficient, and, frankly, antiquated. Users are forced to navigate clunky interfaces that lack real intelligence, resulting in endless scrolling, mismanaged data, and the dreaded “lost contact” scenario. Studies reveal that 88% of business cards are never properly recorded, leaving countless networking opportunities to fade away. The challenge for CIRQIL was to bridge the gap between a static digital address book and a dynamic, intelligent networking tool. We needed to address not only the limitations of traditional contact management but also the evolving needs of modern professionals—such as secure data sharing, customizable visibility, and the ability to interact in real time. The result was a comprehensive solution that streamlines every facet of networking, from initial connection to ongoing communication, all while safeguarding privacy and enhancing usability.
Our journey with CIRQIL began with a deep dive into the world of digital networking. Working closely with the CIRQIL team, we held a series of immersive strategy sessions to understand every nuance of the problem and the specific needs of modern networkers. Weekly meetings via UberConference and continuous updates through Slack and JIRA ensured that every idea was captured, debated, and refined. In the initial phase, our design team created comprehensive wireframes that mapped out every screen and user interaction in black‑and‑white. These wireframes served as the blueprint for an entirely reimagined contacts experience—one that was both scalable and flexible enough to handle everything from short‑term networking to long‑term business relationships. Once these blueprints received your stamp of approval, we moved into high‑fidelity design, meticulously crafting each screen to be pixel‑perfect and reflective of CIRQIL’s innovative spirit. The final step in our design process was to develop detailed product flows that outlined every function and data pathway, ensuring that the transition from design to programming would be as smooth as possible. These assets were then integrated into a Figma prototype, complete with clickable hotspots that provided a near‑lifelike demonstration of the app on both iOS and Android devices. This prototype not only captured the full essence of CIRQIL but also provided a compelling tool for securing further investment and stakeholder buy‑in.
CIRQIL equips you with powerful, user‑focused tools that make every connection meaningful. Our features not only simplify contact management but also provide intuitive controls for customized networking—ensuring that every interaction is tailored to your specific needs:
Users can effortlessly switch between showcasing their profiles and exploring new connections—similar to toggling between hosting and traveling on Airbnb—offering a tailored experience for every networking need.
With the ability to create temporary or expiring contacts, merge duplicate entries, and customize shared details, CIRQIL ensures that every contact is meaningful, up‑to‑date, and fully under your control.
Organize contacts into groups, sync events with your calendar, and receive real‑time notifications to maximize every networking opportunity, whether at an event or on the go.
