Understanding the background

Alfagift is an app that offers the convenience of shopping with fast delivery, including same-day delivery options. However, despite its on-demand service characteristics, the user flow in this app still follows the traditional marketplace pattern. Users must go through several additional steps, such as accessing the shopping cart, adding forgotten items, and navigating between separate order summary and payment screens—all on different pages. This makes the checkout process feel more complicated and less efficient. Therefore, a redesign is needed, focusing on creating a faster, more intuitive flow that better aligns with the needs of users seeking instant delivery services.

the problem

Alfagift is an app I frequently use, especially in urgent situations when I need same-day delivery, which is highly convenient. However, the shopping process can be cumbersome and exhausting due to the multiple screens and unnecessary steps. For example, adding forgotten items can be a hassle, as sometimes I just want to buy what I've already selected. Additionally, the separate screens for order summary and payment make the process more time-consuming than it should be

Research method & result

problem

  1. Unnecessary Additional Steps

Users must access the shopping cart to check the number of items or proceed to payment, which slows down the process and adds complexity.

  1. Misalignment with Fast Delivery

The current user flow does not fully support the efficient experience expected from instant delivery services, which is a major feature of Alfagift.

  1. Exhausting Checkout Process:

  • User Fatigue: Navigating through multiple screens, including separate ones for order summary and payment, makes the shopping experience tiring and less efficient.

  • Difficulty Adding Forgotten Items: Adding forgotten items involves extra steps, even though users often prefer to purchase only the items they initially selected.

Goal

  1. Simplify Navigation

Reduce the number of steps required to check item quantities and proceed to payment, making the process more straightforward and user-friendly.

  1. Enhance Efficiency

Align the user flow with the fast delivery promise of Alfagift by optimizing the process to support a more seamless, on-demand experience.

  1. Streamline Checkout

Consolidate screens and reduce the complexity of the checkout process to minimize user fatigue and ensure that adding forgotten items or reviewing orders is quick and intuitive.

information architecture

The optimization of the user flow and the restructuring of the Information Architecture (IA) were crucial steps in enhancing the overall usability of Alfagift. The goal was to create a more logical and efficient journey that aligns with users' expectations of a quick and hassle-free shopping experience.

[User Flow Optimization]

In optimizing the user flow, my primary focus was on enhancing efficiency and reducing friction throughout the shopping process. The existing flow required users to navigate multiple screens and take additional steps, which often led to unnecessary complexity and user fatigue. To address these issues, I restructured the flow to create a more direct and seamless experience.

Key improvements include the introduction of a quick review CTA, allowing users to instantly check item quantities and total costs without needing to access the cart. I also consolidated the order summary and payment screens, eliminating redundant transitions and making the checkout process faster and more intuitive. By positioning frequently used features, such as payment methods and promotional offers, on a single screen, the optimized flow not only reduces the number of steps but also aligns more closely with the expectations of users seeking a quick and hassle-free shopping experience.

These changes are designed to make the app more responsive to the needs of users who rely on Alfagift for its fast delivery service, ensuring that the user flow is as streamlined and efficient as possible.

After identifying the arising issues, the subsequent step is to conduct a comparative study on the top-up features in other mobile banking applications. The results of this comparison will be used to understand the differences in the top-up process between BSI and other banks, influencing its performance and areas that need improvement

Ideation & Wireframe

During the ideation phase, I focused on streamlining the user flow to align better with the fast-paced nature of on-demand services. The goal was to reduce unnecessary steps, simplify navigation, and enhance the overall user experience. I explored various layout options to create a more intuitive and seamless process, especially for key actions like adding items, reviewing the cart, and completing the checkout.

problem statement

Requirement

To make the idea work, here’s what needs to be done:

  1. CTA for Quick Review: A call-to-action (CTA) button should be placed on the item selection screen, allowing users to quickly review the total item count and price before proceeding.

  2. Combined Screen for Add-ons and Payment Summary:

    • The "Tebus Murah" (discounted items) option and the ability to add forgotten items should be located on the same screen as the purchase summary and payment options.

    • The "Tebus Murah" section should be positioned near the "Make Payment" CTA to encourage users to consider adding discounted items before finalizing their purchase.

  3. Motivational Placement of Tebus Murah: The "Tebus Murah" section should be placed lower on the screen to motivate users as they prepare to make their payment.

  4. Default Payment Method with Balance Display: The default payment method should display the total balance linked to the Alfagift account, eliminating the need for users to check balances individually.

  5. Voucher Placement: The voucher section should be positioned immediately after the payment summary to allow users to apply discounts before finalizing payment.

  6. Organized Payment Methods:

    • Payment methods should be categorized into three sections: previously connected methods, the option to add a new method, and other available methods.

Takeaways

At first, I appreciated Alfagift for its convenience, especially when I needed groceries delivered quickly during urgent moments. The guarantee of same-day delivery within operational hours was a significant advantage. However, as I continued using the app, I began to notice that the shopping process was more cumbersome and time-intensive than expected. Navigating through multiple screens and extra steps, like checking item quantities only through the cart or dealing with separate screens for order summary and payment, made the experience feel more tedious than necessary.

This underscores the need for a redesign that better meets the expectations of users who rely on fast, on-demand service. The user journey should be simplified to reduce the number of steps, creating a more intuitive and less exhausting experience. Users like myself, who frequently purchase smaller quantities and depend on the app's rapid delivery, require a process that is both straightforward and user-friendly.

While Alfagift is already a valuable resource for quick grocery shopping, adopting a more user-focused design approach could significantly improve the overall experience. By eliminating unnecessary complexities and streamlining the checkout process, the app can better cater to users who prioritize both speed and ease in their shopping activities.
