User Flow

CONCEPT AND SOLUTION: USER GOALS

Research of Good firms (2020) offers the functions that customers use traditional apps most liked and concerned. Therefore, in addition to developing a new feature called AR Tryon, the product in research also needs to ensure the full provision of these features.
Besides AR ring try on, the user has a need for recommendations, wish list, payment, as well as inquiries with a consultant service. With such a goal, the product’s concept is shaped to include 5 main features: Borrow Rings, Purchase Rings, Contact CC, Promotion and AR Tryon Ring

AR TryOn Ring

Accounts management is essential transaction in daily basis of user. Our design goal is to make users feel confidence when it comes to their portfolio management.
 

Borrow other Rings

This is second most common activity, and the most emotionally invested. Carefully design UI that employs behavioral science can create better decisions for risky transactions.

Purchase Rings

Some of the customer’s core frustrations are seen during their in-store experiences, being unimpressed with busy and un-interested floor staff as well as poor changeroom assistance and availability.

Contact CC

Whether exploring new products or looking for something specific, product browsing is the key goal of any shopping experience, and as such it must be well thought-out

Wire Frame

Homepage: The starting point of all features and functions in the product is the homepage, which would be the first thing to decide the user-friendly and impressive. A good homepage design will be a favorable premise to complete the design of the entire flow of the app.
The first critical thinking problem is the choice between the two features Ring borrow or Ring AR Tryon located on the home page. Despite Ring Borrow’s high importance to users, the home page is oriented to build the killing point of the product, AR Tryon.

This decision is to help customers avoid difficulty accessing the main point of the product, creating a competitive advantage over other normal shopping apps

Testing

There are too many tabs on the current Barclay app version that caused confusion to users. The new site map has only 4 tabs, which are: Home, Payment, Product Management, and Setting.

Evaluation

Besides optimizing the user flow from before using the product, the afterward flow is also developed to close the deal with our beloved customers. The saving, pension, and insurance products might sound totally different at first, however they actually share the same flows of educating users and getting them onboard:

Conclusion

Despite the limitations of the MVP version, users still seem interested in idea and willing to recommend this app to others. However, some feedbacks from users state that technology still cannot completely replace the instore experience because of the lack of hand feeling and jewelry reflection. In addition, customers need to be directly consulted by the sale consultants because knowledge of users when buying rings, especially diamond rings, is pretty questionable.

In regards with customer satisfaction, this research also tested the impact of feature groups on customer satisfaction, including: Usability, Functionality, Reliability and Compatibility. In the four above factor groups, the features and characteristics related to the Reliability and Compatibility of the product have no evidence of an impact on customer satisfaction through factor analysis and regression analysis. Meanwhile, it is necessary to pay special attention to two groups of factors: Usability and Functionality in product development because these factor groups affect positively on the level of customer satisfaction. In particular, App needs to be easy to use, easy to observe and make purchases quickly.
