Analytics Reporting
- User Testing
- Usage Analysis
We conducted user testing sessions with a diverse group of 30 users to evaluate their interaction with the Yeppy Super App.
The analysis of user interactions and time spent on various services within the app revealed the following insights
Service Usage Service
- Financial Services
- Retail Services
- Booking Services
- Exclusive Services
Financial services were consistently used more frequently and for longer durations than other features. Users often accessed this section to manage their finances, check balances, and make transactions.
Retail services were the second most frequently used feature. Users shopped for a wide range of products and took advantage of discounts and deals.
Booking services, including hotel reservations and car rentals, ranked third in terms of user engagement. Users frequently planned trips and accommodations through the app.
While Exclusive services had a dedicated user base, it didn't experience the same level of user engagement as the previous three categories.
Iterative Design Process Design Improvement
The iterative design process for the Yeppy app revolves around the continuous refinement of its features, with a sharp focus on the most frequently used features. This includes finance (bill payments and mobile transactions), retail (comprising grocery and healthcare items), and booking services (encompassing events, hotels, and flights). In our quest for design perfection, we conducted a survey involving 15 users, providing them with the prototype to engage with as per their individual preferences. The outcomes of this exercise have offered insights into user inclinations, revealing:
- 4 users showing a preference for the finance/bill payment module.
- 6 users expressing a distinct liking for the retail and grocery module.
- 5 users actively using the booking module for flight or hotel reservations.
In light of these findings, we have undertaken a strategic optimization of the app's design to enhance user accessibility, making it even more intuitive and accommodating to their specific needs. We placed the modules as per the feedback given by the users to make it more customer-centric.
