Client

Client Background

The client runs a car dealership and supplier operations that attract diverse service providers and customers in the market. The process has a lot of moving parts and requires the collaboration of different sets of people to keep the flow intact.

Major business operations include inspecting the cars, determining the auctioneer, facilitating the auction, collaborating with dealers and suppliers, etc.

Requirement

The client’s primary requirement was to bypass the pandemic’s restriction on their business. Basically, the client wants to break the confinement without actually crossing the lines.

They want to devise a system that captures the essence of the workflow that allows them to resume the business without any hindrance and increase the volume of car sales.

Methodologies

Our Process

We couldn't deploy a reverse-engineering approach here since there are a lot of players and different roles on the table. So, we initiated the process from the admin end. We took a different approach to the problem. We created a system that ensured a clean backend process. Once we mapped out that process, everything else fell into its place.

01

setting a strategy

We broke the entire operation into major fragments and visualized each as individual applications.

02

Taking one step at a time

We created a low-fidelity working process for all these fragments and linked them through a central system.

03

Nailing aesthetics

We focused on design that solved problems and increased the customer adoption.

04

Focusing on user experience

At the same time, we were conscious NOT to overwhelm the user with many choices.

Simplified workflow

It is almost impossible to recognize the business with the new workflow. The complexity is stripped off from the process. Simplifying the process also helped the business to focus on sales and customer engagement.

Increased customer engagement by 6.2x

Since customers could not come to the market, we brought the market to customers. The applications were made with this factor in mind. We focused on removing the cloggy interface and replaced it with a minimalistic design.

Taking the record maintenance to a whole new level

Maintaining an airtight record is to better understand the business, which in turn allows you to identify key performance areas and departments that bring in cash flow. The process helps in the later stage for in-depth analytics.
