Discovery
In one of our integrated business review, last quarter's performance appeared alarming on various fronts.
Business
Dip in revenue
Through a comprehensive review of financial metrics and MoM trends, the team identified areas of concern, such as declining revenue, ATS (average ticket size), and customer retention rates.
Experience Analytics
Low DIY conversion and DXS metrics
Customer journey data, core web vitals, and interaction metrics uncovered friction points and bottlenecks in the DIY journey. Pointing towards a hampered user experience.
Marketing
Stalled leads generation
Leads-to-disbursal ratio and funnel performance provided alarming insights into shifting consumer preferences, competitive benchmarking, and market trends.
VoC and CSAT
Listening our listening tools
Qualitative feedback from customers through various channels, including surveys, app store reviews, and social media listening posts highlighted recurring themes and issues affecting satisfaction and loyalty.

The findings in 'Discovery' phase piqued our curiosity, so we started digging into Medallia, Google Analytics, Web vitals etc.
Design
Build. Test. Re-build
1
An iterative model within Scrum framework was used to run design sprints, ensuring agile SDLC and First-Time-Right delivery.

2
Customer Journey Map (CJM) : Workshops conducted with marketing, business, service ops, IT, and product management stakeholders to plot 'As-Is' and 'To-Be' maps and revamp the existing journey for existing, prospecting, and new customers.

3
Embarking on a journey of design and discovery, we put our prototypes to the test through a whimsical mix of moderated and unmoderated interviews on the Maze platform.




4
Final designs were delivered for IT development with detailed logic document, style guide, and interaction variants. New components were duly added in the existing design system.


Test
A/B experiments: 'Squid Games' of ideas fighting for user love!
Live designs were monitored closely on various platforms:
Funnel performance - Google Analytics
Experience analytics - Medallia DXS
CSAT - Medallia VOC and App store reviews
​
Opportunity : Calculator design and hierarchy on PDP (Product Description Page)

A/B experiment concluded successfully with...
...average lift of 186% with 99.99% confidence.
​
Numbers so good, we did secondary analysis with GA, Medallia, Heatmaps etc.
