Challenge

A parked car blocks someone in, and the usual fix is a phone number left on the windshield. That number sits in public view all day. Anyone walking past can photograph it, spam it, or misuse it.

Drivers needed to stay reachable in parking situations and emergencies without publishing personal data on glass. And the contact channel had to work for any passerby, with nothing to install and no friction on their side.

02

Solution

Sticar is a unique QR sticker for the windshield. Anyone who needs the driver scans it and gets in touch. The phone number never appears; the sticker carries a code, not a contact card.

A companion mobile app manages everything behind that code. Drivers control their contact details and how they can be reached, and they update it all without ever touching the sticker. Physical product and software shipped as one system.

What we built

  • Unique QR sticker linked to each driver
  • Scan-to-contact flow with no app needed for the passerby
  • Companion app for iOS and Android
  • Contact details and preferences managed in the app
  • Driver notifications when someone reaches out
  • Sticker activation and account pairing

Outcome

Sticar shipped as hardware and software in sync. Stickers are in circulation, the app is in production, and drivers stay reachable while their numbers stay private. The product proves itself at the windshield, exactly where it has to.
