Problem

The logistics business is now digitized; but many platforms make it increasingly frustrating for customers to complete a order satisfactorily. Issues like prolonged delivery, mixed packages, poor communication exist along side the poor user experience on these platforms.

Goal

Dlvrd should let users order for a dispatch rider for deliveries by giving them a seamless and stress free delivery process via the app. I would measure effectiveness by analyzing the percentage of successfully ordered deliveries.

Study

Prompts:

  • Open the app and order for a dispatch rider
  • Repeat Prompt 1 using guest login
  • Use the quick estimate feature to see the proposed cost of a delivery
  • How did you feel about the app in general? What did you like and dislike about it?

Study
Inights

I sorted out the usability study findings via affinity mapping (view here). Then I generated insights and iterated on my designs in order of most important to least important. Here are some of the key insights.

The
End

The users were satisfied with the final version­ of the app prototype, though there are­ still a couple of areas yet to be explored fully such as the payment methods, and notification system and tracking ride flow.

From this project I learned that the initial idea for an app is only the tip of the iceberg in the entire process and I learnt a great deal about empathizing with those in the logistics and e-commerce sector­.
