About twelve months ago, UK Strollers, a well loved family business providing ride on cars for children in shopping centres was facing an uncertain future.
Shopping Centre management across the UK delivered a clear message:
Go digital or risk losing your place.
For a business built on community trust and decades of hands on service, this was a moment of reckoning. Paper based rentals, manual ID checks, and clipboards were no longer acceptable in a post pandemic, data sensitive world. Parents didn’t want to hand over personal information to strangers at a desk, and centres needed a modern, secure, and efficient system that improved operations and freed up valuable time.
So, UK Strollers began searching.
They explored global options far and wide looking for a platform that could deliver on usability, security, and speed. That’s when they found us.
The Turning Point
From the first conversation, there was alignment.
At TDMN, we don’t just provide hardware and software; we partner with our clients to co-design smarter, human first solutions. We immediately understood what UK Strollers needed:
· A modern, secure app-based rental system that didn’t compromise on simplicity
· sMart Locks and tracking for security and control
· Minimal data collection to meet GDPR and parent concerns
· A quick and painless rental experience for time poor families
Within days, we sent over samples. The UK Strollers team tested them and quickly realised this wasn’t just a tech upgrade. It was a transformation.
Fast-Tracked Success
Once the agreement was signed, we delivered their first batch in just 8 weeks.
We worked closely with UK Strollers during every phase, listening, refining, and evolving the system to ensure it worked perfectly for their customers in the real world. Together, we rolled out a world first sMart Lock kids car rental system and UK Strollers app, tailored to the needs of families and retail centre managers alike.
Today, UK Strollers is live in major shopping centres across the UK and Scotland, with new locations coming on board each month. The response has been overwhelmingly positive:
· Parents love the speed, ease, and cashless rental
· Centres love the security, labour savings, and clean data trails
· UK Strollers has a future proof business that’s leading not lagging the industry
A Case Study in Partnership
This wasn’t just about digital tools. It was about trust, agility, and execution. UK Strollers came to us with a challenge that no one in the world could help them with, and we built them a system like no other. It didn’t exist yet, a system that blends retail tech, smart mobility, and real-world usability into one seamless solution.
We’re proud to power the future of children’s ride on rentals and proud to support a business that dared to innovate when it mattered most.
And we’re just getting started.
