Context

Redesigning OUI.sncf with digital sobriety as a requirement

SNCF Connect & Tech led the redesign of the OUI.sncf app, used by millions of people to book train tickets.

The project had significant business stakes, with a clear ambition for sobriety and ecodesign from the design phase.

The goal was to improve the user experience while reducing the environmental impact of application journeys, especially on the TER booking journey.
