Business Problem & Ask
Business Problem
The company needed a user-friendly interface for its clients’ business users to create complex queries and retrieve data, allowing them to eventually create the customer buyer groups. However, the business users often lacked technical expertise, making it crucial to develop a solution that was easy to use and required minimal training.
The Ask
The goal was to create a user-friendly platform that allows business users to create complex queries and generate customer buyer groups using various parameters, without needing technical expertise.
Our Approach
Research & Analysis
- We conducted a thorough analysis of the company’s clients’ business goals, user personas, their motivations and pain points, and the company’s needs for developing this feature.
System Study
- We studied the existing usage patterns within the system and the existing technology stack to create a coherent experience and understand any technological constraints.
Conceptualization
- Based on our research and analysis, we created high-level conceptualizations of the proposed UX solution in the form of low-fidelity wireframes.
Execution
- We established the visual design based on the company’s clients’ brand guidelines and style guide. We created high-fidelity mockups to capture and validate business requirements and an interaction model/click-through prototype to propose user journeys and user flow.
The Solution
Our solution was a drag-and-drop canvas-based platform that was user-friendly and required minimal training.
The platform allowed users to build complex queries for data retrieval and usage with ease. As the personas were mostly business users with limited technical knowledge, we ensured that the platform was intuitive and user-friendly.
Value Delivered
As a result of our solution, the company’s clients were able to quickly deploy this feature and gain valuable revenue.
- The new feature also improved the customer experience, as the clients’ customers realized the value of the platform.
- Additionally, the solution had a shorter learning curve for users, resulting in higher employee satisfaction.
