Thermomix® Kitchen Revolution

Back in the ´70s, the first model fo Thermomix® defined ‘multifunctional’ for cooking appliances, simultaneously blending and cooking to save both precious time and counter space. With every iteration the product gracefully left the competition behind. Extra features were added one by one, until the Thermomix® became the world´s most intelligent food processor.

Cookidoo® – the Game Changer

Vorwerk's commitment to elevate daily experiences through exceptional products led to the creation of Cookidoo®, a revolutionary recipe platform developed in collaboration with intive.
‍
Seamlessly integrated with Thermomix® TM6, Cookidoo® offers a diverse array of recipes curated by Vorwerk's experts. Users can easily personalize their cooking experience, create meal plans and generate lists and own recipes with just a few taps and making cooking and make meal preparation an effortless joy.

Digital Ecosystem

With a user-centered perspective behind each decision, intive has worked with 200 experts and multiple suppliers on the creation of a digital ecosystem that interconnects cooking, planning and shopping. They’ve introduced DesignOps processes, refined and aligned the UX for all points of interaction, brought in inspiration and storytelling to the platform, boosted search performance and enabled the seamless integration of all channels (web, mobile, device UI).

The architecture of the Cookidoo® platform is based on self-contained systems that serve as independent web applications. Together, these form a flexible, scalable and reliable system. Once again, intive trusted Amazon Web Services and the Red Hat® OpenShift® Kubernetes platform to guarantee short application development cycles. Juggling multiple language versions was simplified with PhraseApp and the mind-boggling volume of content was easily integrated thanks to the Contentful infrastructure.
