The OneUp.me App - A Journey of Impact & Innovation

Our journey with OneUp began in 2023 when a winning pitch secured a long-term collaboration. From day one, ASSIST Software has been dedicated to enhancing the platform, addressing performance challenges, improving security, and refining UX/UI to deliver a great user experience.


Initially, we focused on stabilizing performance and resolving critical UX/UI issues to ensure a solid foundation. Once the platform was optimized, we shifted towards a comprehensive front-end revamp and UX improvements, making navigation more intuitive and engaging for users.

Beyond design and functionality, we introduced new features to significantly increase the platform’s commercial potential and user retention. These optimizations significantly boosted OneUp’s NPS score, reflecting higher customer satisfaction and overall platform trust.


Our strong partnership with BAT continues to drive OneUp’s growth. We combine software engineering, UX innovation and performance optimization to ensure long-term scalability and success in an evolving landscape where sustainability goals are part of the company’s daily operations.

Empowering the future through exceptional technologies

We work tirelessly to transform ideas into fully developed features, guiding every stage from design to implementation with the platform users in mind. Using a modern tech stack, we craft scalable, high-quality software solutions that elevate user experiences.
