Designing an MVP for productivity-focused mobile application with seamless user experience.
Users often face financial problems during the shipment process. Sellers cannot receive payment until the products are delivered and their quality is checked. This delay, from when the shipment starts until it arrives, can hurt clients' finances. Lockstep can help with this issue.
As previously explained, Lockstep is a sustainable trade finance service that lends money to merchants, so we need to create an intuitive and user-friendly presence for their product.
The Challenge
Create an MVP mobile application prototype to help merchants borrow money from Lockstep.
During this stage, I dug deep to discover and fix the problems with the "current user flow". Using techniques like storyboard and competitive analysis
Lockstep will lend the user (Bimbo $) at any point here, an interesting variable on the sustainability of shipment, duration of financing, and where along the financing chain (post-PO vs post-Invoice).
Screens from competitors to discover the ship and track the process
• Best practice on user flow steps to achieve a seamless experience.
• How the competitors measure the success factors.
• Features we need to get start
Through pre-research, we found the key screens we needed to start with and some issues we needed to solve through the experience. So now we need to define and articulate the user flow.
