HDFC Mutual Fund - Mobile App UI / UX design

HDFC Mutual Fund – Android and iOS mobile app for Distributors. Earlier Rillusion had done their web app UX / UI design, now worked on Android and iPhone Mobile App UX / UI Design. Even though we were worked on the responsive design for the web app, we want to create a unique experience for the mobile app. Try to maintain the experience on both Android and iOS.

We enhanced UI Kit, Customer Flow, Navigation System, and

The Review
Feedback summary: 

Rillusion delivered a high-quality product, satisfying all of the manufacturer's needs. Their timeline estimate was very ambitious, and they almost met it. Their team is communicative, flexible, and rigorous. They also excelled at understanding requirements, as well as being user-centric.

A Clutch analyst personally interviewed this client over the phone. Below is an edited transcript.

BACKGROUND

Introduce your business and what you do there.

I work for Saint-Gobain India. We manufacture glass for façades and interiors, and our customers are architects, developers, and consultants. I’m a design manager for the company, and my job is to help customers choose the right product.

OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE

What challenge were you trying to address with Rillusion?

We were trying to build an interactive interface for our visitor center kiosk app, in order to provide a more engaging experience than using printed catalogs.

SOLUTION

What was the scope of their involvement?

Rillusion was our UI/UX design partner for the kiosk interface. We built it as a desktop application, and its role is to take customers through a product selection journey.

They conducted a workshop in order to understand our needs and expectations for the application, user profiles, and so on.

What is the team composition?

I interacted with a business development manager during the onboarding. He learned our requirements and introduced us to his UI/UX team, which included a design lead. I interacted with 4–5 people in total, and I acted as the product owner.

How did you come to work with Rillusion?

I found them through a Google search. They came to our place for an initial discussion, and we got some confidence in them based on that. Rillusion had a young team, and they’d worked on some interesting products. They were also a good fit for our budget.

How much have you invested with them?

The project cost was $5,500–$6,000.

What is the status of this engagement?

We started working with Rillusion in January 2020, and we finished the project in May or June of 2020.

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

What evidence can you share that demonstrates the impact of the engagement?

Rillusion delivered what we wanted, the quality was very good, and they delivered almost on time. I had a positive experience, and I’d recommend Rillusion to anyone looking for such work.

How did Rillusion perform from a project management standpoint?

They were quite rigorous on their side, but this project required a lot of creativity, so we went through multiple design sprints and change requests. We had to move certain items to the next slide or remove them, and those iterations extended the timeline. I wouldn’t say that it was Rillusion’s fault. It was a demanding project.

They were very communicative, and they let us know in advance about the time extension. They were good in terms of arranging sprints and keeping stakeholders informed. The communication part was perfect. We had weekly meetings, and we had email communication outside of that. The designs were delivered through Figma, which was a user-friendly solution for our developers.

What did you find most impressive about them?

They got to the core of the requirements and strived to understand why we were building this app and what benefits it would bring. Rillusion’s best quality was how user-centric they were.

Are there any areas they could improve?

They could improve in terms of timeline estimations. The initial estimate was very ambitious, and we couldn’t meet it exactly.

Do you have any advice for future clients of theirs?

If the client knows what they’re doing and why, and if they can define requirements properly, Rillusion will take it from there. They conduct user interviews and workshops in order to understand what exactly they’re looking at.

BACKGROUND

Please describe your company and your position there.

I'm a project manager at Revv, a mobility solution platform. We provide self-driving rental cars for round trips, outstation one-way trips, local one-way trips, and weekly and monthly commutes.

OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE

For what projects/services did your company hire Rillusion?

We are launching a new, disruptive product soon. Rillusion helped us with UI/UX and web design for the project. 

What were your goals for this project?

The goal of the project was to design a simple, user-friendly website to minimize dropoffs during booking.

SOLUTION

How did you select this vendor?

After thoroughly researching many vendor portfolios, we found Rillusion's work spellbinding and clean. The quality of their work was reflected in the concepts and illustrations in their portfolio.

Describe the project in detail.

Once we shared the project timeline, we had three interviews so Rillusion could better understand the product. The interview questions were designed to extract the maximum amount of information.

They designed a sample website mockup in a week. They also shared two variations of the homepage to establish a structure for the rest of the website. We decided to finish the mobile webpage first. 

As per our timeline, we received screens and gave them feedback, which they implemented the next day.

What was the team composition?

They assigned a project manager, but the best part was the direct interaction with the lead designer, which helped us share feedback without losing information. There were two graphic designers as well.

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

Can you share any outcomes from the project that demonstrate progress or success?

The project was finished within the timeline, and the work quality was not compromised. Now the entire booking flow is very smooth. 

How effective was the workflow between your team and theirs?

The project manager was easily accessible, and we could directly contact them. We mostly communicated on WhatsApp and over the phone. They were available at odd hours to discuss feedback and new concepts.

What did you find most impressive about this company?

I was impressed by their understanding of website design and flow optimization. They always came up with new ideas and concepts. The best part was their accessibility and timeliness. We will work with Rillusion for our all future projects.
