UX Case Study Of An On-Demand Delivery App - Groceeri

The Challenge

Online shoppers are troubled and get a discouraging experience when it comes to shopping daily essentials. Need to install multiple apps, divide the monthly shopping list into 3-4 parts and order them separately on different apps.

Many a time, if we get the app the improper segregation makes it harder to find the items they are looking for. Can something be done to overcome these pain points? Can we imagine an On-demand delivery app that will allow ordering all the items from one single platform in a single order?

Research Goals

To develop the understanding of the problems we began with building a list of the questionnaire to reach the following goals.

  • Understand the competitive landscape of on-demand grocery delivery services
  • Unleash the push and motivation for using an on-demand app
  • Learn what users want to see in a delivery app
  • Discover the common pain points or challenges they face while using the app

Work for Enhanced UX

To create an on-demand app like Groceeri aiming to meet customer expectations and building a strong brand we followed these tips:

  • Keep things simple in the app’s text, menus, and buttons so users understand what to do.
  • Use common design patterns like a hamburger menu so users can quickly learn how to navigate your app.
  • Let users know when their actions are on the right track to keep them engaged.
  • Before adding visuals, try out the app’s layout and navigation with wireframes.
  • Ask users about their experience through surveys and interviews to make your app better.
  • Compare two versions of your app to see which one works better.
  • Make it simple for users to do what they want, like placing an order.

Questions Asked During Interview

We have selected four potential household and working users who frequently use on-demand apps for their daily shopping needs. And asked those couple of questions that helped us uncover their frustrations, pain points, needs, and conflicts.

  1. Do you prefer online shopping for your daily needs?
  2. What are the things you have ordered online before?
  3. What are the things you order most often online?
  4. Do you face any trouble while ordering online?
  5. Do you have a shopping list that you buy every month?
  6. What are the items you look to buy online?

Affinity Mapping

After asking the sets of questions to different users we have gathered a good understanding of users’ preferences, dislikes, and expectations. Our UI/UX designers made efforts to provide a personalized user experience through the app.

To create a design that is both user-friendly and accessible, we grouped the data from our interviewees and used it for sorting UX Findings and brainstorming design ideas. Besides, we identified technology such as PWA to enhance UX as well as the app functionality.

User Personas

From the affinity map, we were able to create two personas:

  • Angelina is a homemaker and a food blogger, she cooks for family and posts recipes and food pictures from different restaurants for her Instafam. She has a grocery list that she usually buys once in a month either from nearby supermarkets or orders online. The latter she finds convenient but has her own hassles with the app.
  • Dustin is a working man- a 10 to 6 office goer. He has a pet Lucy. He lives with his roommates. Mostly he orders food online on weekdays and likes to cook at home on the weekends. He usually shops for pet food and alcohol while he returns back home from the office, although he finds it extremely exhausting.

App Map, User Flow Diagram

To visualize how users might interact and move through the app features we have designed the complete hierarchy of the feature. A clear visual hierarchy presents menus and dishes in an appealing and organized manner, enhancing user engagement. This helped us design the low-fidelity prototype and placements of each functionality.

Low Fidelity Prototype

After drawing the task flow diagram, we started creating wireframes where we tried to keep the navigations, icons, touchpoints as detailed as possible.

High Fidelity Design and Prototype

We created high-fidelity designs and prototypes with our chosen color palette, styles, color, UI elements, and typefaces. Our prototype for the UX of the app has attractive color combinations, typography, and images. The prototype was ready for usability testing.

App Testing

We conducted remote usability testing using Groceeri’s high-fidelity mobile prototype. We have noted the issues that users faced and later on fixed them.

After that, we also conducted A/B testing within the UI/UX framework. This helps us make data-driven decisions, refining the user experience and driving higher conversion rates. Finally, we landed on an on-demand delivery app platform- Groceeri. It loads fast, handles orders smoothly, and gives live updates, making the overall UX great and keeping users happy for return visits.

We handed off this finalized UX design to our team of mobile app developers. We as UX designers have been supporting them through this process. Also, we took care to build a positive brand reputation. A brand known for its user-friendliness and customer-centric design becomes an attractive choice for consumers, attracting more customers and increasing customer loyalty.
