Overview

In 2006, Mazuma Mobile came to Sticky Digital with a game-changing idea: to create the UK’s first trade-in website dedicated to mobile phones. At a time when recycling electronics was still a novel concept, Mazuma identified a gap in the market for a streamlined platform to handle the entire trade-in process.

We partnered with Mazuma to design and develop a system that made the trade-in process effortless for users while seamlessly handling backend complexities like pricing, logistics, and scalability. The result was a revolutionary platform that not only simplified mobile phone trade-ins but set the standard for the industry.

Since its launch, Mazuma Mobile has processed millions of transactions, helped recycle vast quantities of mobile phones, and grown into a multimillion-pound business. Their continued leadership in the market stands as a testament to the strength of their vision – and our collaboration.
