In August, our colleagues managed to win an international hackathon in Budapest. They nailed it with a machine-learning solution that optimizes address search in our navigation app.

Just do it right

We might call it an unofficial motto of our team. We create new products, improve the existing ones and very often, even improvise. So what. We go where our creativity takes us and this means usually against the flow.
List vs Tiles – 5 things we have learned from a click test
29. 06. 2016
At Sygic we strive for data-driven decisions. Recently, we have been considering List vs Tiles while designing a new Search Options screen.

Fresh summer

We would all like to spend the whole summer by the pool. However, since summertime is also the top travel season, we have to be there to accompany our users on the road. Fortunately, there are way to make hot days in the office a little more exciting. This summer has got to be FRESH.

Who says you need a call center?
19. 07. 2016
Every once in a while someone asks me about my work at Sygic Support Center. What they picture is a noisy room crowded with people waring headsets, talking in all world languages. I sometimes have as much as 5 smartphones on my desk and still, I am not using them to make calls. I also wear headphones but the only sound coming from them is my favorite band. Who says you need to be on the phone all day to help millions of clients?
