Thermomix® kitchen revolution
Back in the ’70s, the first model of 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 company mission is to provide superior products and services with a human touch. intive's team translated this approach into design and development of Cookidoo®: a dedicated recipe platform and the accompanying mobile apps that extend the user experience beyond the Thermomix® device, turning cooking and meal planning into pure pleasure.
Cookidoo® users can easily explore culinary ideas, add their favorite recipes into the weekly planners and create shopping lists.

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).
Powered by the cloud
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.
Awards-winning design
User-friendly and visually compelling Cookidoo® platform gained significant industry recognition winning 6 industry awards. It’s people-centric design was honored with such prestigious awards as UX Design Award, Red Dot Award as well as IF Design Award.
