Design of an E-Commerce platform

Designed a mobile application (called Hrvst) where customers can buy fresh agriculture produce at affordable prices and have them delivered to their desired locations.

Since Hrvst was the first of its kind in Zambia, we did not have any competitors within the country. We decided to look at applications operating in the ecommerce space to evaluate their strengths and identify best practices that could be applied to our own app.

Having a robust and intuitive product discovery experience

An easy way for customers to search for the stores they want to buy from.

An easily scannable cart for product review and order placement

Allowing customers to track the delivery of the products they buy

Solution

Having a robust and intuitive product discovery was essential for our customers. It not only streamlines the process of finding products but also enhances user satisfaction and engagement. By implementing advanced search features, personalized recommendations, and an easy-to-navigate interface, we reduce the time it takes to discover products and stores.

An easy way for customers to search for the stores they want to buy from was crucial for a seamless shopping experience. By providing clear and efficient search options, customers can quickly find their desired stores and products, leading to increased satisfaction and higher sales for our vendors.

An easily scannable cart for product review and other placement allows customers to efficiently see their selected items, make any necessary adjustments, and confidently proceed to checkout. This streamlined process enhances the overall shopping experience, minimizing potential errors and ensuring that users can place their orders quickly and conveniently.

Allowing customers to manage orders and track the delivery of the products they buy offers them complete control over their shopping experience. This feature provides real-time updates and detailed information on their orders, ensuring transparency and convenience every step of the way.

This effort resulted in a remarkable 110.16% revenue growth and an impressive 108.47% increase in GMV during Q2-2023, just nine months after the marketplace’s debut in 2022.
