Anticipate needs. Accelerate repairs.
Auto service.
Volvo Cars has a rich history of innovation and a reputation for premium customer service. So it was no surprise when Volvo Car Sweden reinvented how it helps its customers. The Volvo Service custom app for Apple Watch and iPhone puts the customer service journey right on each technician’s wrist — so they can help customers directly, in addition to servicing their cars. Now technicians can spend less time at desks, car owners get an unparalleled experience, and Volvo Cars delivers on its mission to make life easier, safer, and better.

Watch
watchOS helps make people more productive. For Volvo Cars, real-time data from several back-end systems is now accessible in one app. Notifications, checklists, and insights are available at a tap for true efficiency. And with Siri, technicians can multitask or call customers hands-free.
Best User Experience
Many technicians already used Apple Watch outside of work. The Volvo Service app, designed for watchOS and iOS, is all about bringing real-time solutions to service points and simplifying the workday. The easy-to-use app also has advanced built-in security.
Developer Platform
iOS and watchOS native apps are intuitive. Volvo Cars’ custom app was quickly deployed and scaled, and ready to use at most of its retailers in Sweden, thanks to the power of Xcode and the ease of using the Swift programming language.
