UX Testing on ABCD & Posh Act journies

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

What were the measurable outcomes from the project that demonstrate progress or success?

• We achieved a 0% complaint rate after the Yellow Slice team designed an internal module that did not exist before. The platform's user experience improved, making it more intuitive and easy to navigate. 
• The language was simplified, and the interface is now much more aesthetically pleasing and far more functional than before. 

Describe their project management. Did they deliver items on time? How did they respond to your needs?

Yellow Slice designers delivered the project on time despite the tight project timeline. There were in-between calls and daily updates at every step of the process. 

What was your primary form of communication with Yellow Slice?

• Virtual Meeting
• Email or Messaging App

What did you find most impressive or unique about this company?

Ability to break it down in very simple words for us. Technical. This is the issue; this is where we are. 

The most impressive quality of the design team was their ability to break it down into very simple words so that we could understand the technical jargon. 

It was commendable to describe the issues they faced and their strategy to explain how they would solve them. 

Are there any areas for improvement or something Yellow Slice could have done differently?

I can’t think of any negative feedback for Yellow Slice, which is a compliment. I’m from an agency, so I know it’s very rare for the client to not find any areas of improvement in the agency. 

However, I suggest hiring a few people who speak regional languages. For instance, Akhil could understand Tamil to a certain extent. Hence, he was of immense help when we were writing content in Tamil. 

Having more people like that would help the UI UX writing process immensely.

Describe their project management. Did they deliver items on time? How did they respond to your needs?

The project management, led by multiple team leaders, was highly effective and commendable. The best part was the quick availability of the team and their prompt response to scheduling calls which demonstrated a proactive and responsive approach to meeting our needs.

What was your primary form of communication with Yellow Slice?

• Virtual Meeting
• Email or Messaging App

What did you find most impressive or unique about this company?

What stood out most was their meticulous documentation process. Every conversation, even a brief 5-minute call, was promptly summarized with MOM sent to us.

The handover document was exceptionally well-drafted, capturing details comprehensively, right down to small icons. Additionally, the quick availability of the team to schedule calls whenever I needed was commendable. 

Are there any areas for improvement or something Yellow Slice could have done differently?

One area for improvement could be enhancing the research during the design phase, there was an expectation for more proactive sharing of references which was not met.

Furthermore, as a client, I believe a better understanding of the designers' backgrounds, including their past projects, portfolios, and insights into the designers' expertise beforehand, would contribute to a more informed collaboration and client confidence.

 To design the B2B and B2B2C mobile app and web app

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

What were the measurable outcomes from the project that demonstrate progress or success?

Almost 3 months have passed since the app was launched in July, before Ganpati festival, and the registration has increased. There are metrics which significantly got increased but we are still measuring and will share soon, 

Describe their project management. Did they deliver items on time? How did they respond to your needs?

We feel the project management was in good hands, and the response time was excellent and quick. The designers were knowledgeable, and they knew what they were doing. 

Although the UI elements were delivered slightly late, they lacked the uniqueness that should have been there. The Yellow Slice team suggested insightful nudges that could improve the design's UI UX. 

What was your primary form of communication with Yellow Slice?

• In-Person Meeting
• Virtual Meeting
• Email or Messaging App

What did you find most impressive or unique about this company?

In Fintech projects, user research is very difficult because people hesitate to share how many assets they hold. Yellow Slice took a good two months but did their research really well by conducting it anonymously. Research part is really helping us till date, very effective for us. 

UX writing was also really good; the tonality and the proper usage of journey words helped users to understand our product in detail 

Yellow Slice designers had some unique suggestions on what sort of product we can create that is not already on the market, where we can improve, where our competitors lack and how Augmont can become a pioneer in the fintech market. 

They proposed creating a marketing tool through which an agent can create a custom marketing message and send it to the customer. This idea was also well executed in the wireframes. 

Are there any areas for improvement or something Yellow Slice could have done differently?

The UI team could have improved their performance, but overall, we are happy with our experience after working with Yellow Slice.

I liked that it was a collaborative process. We worked together to ideate and see how the solutions would solve the problem statement I had. The project management was really supportive.

What was your primary form of communication with Yellow Slice?

What did you find most impressive or unique about this company?

Kishor has built a structure where his designers understand each partner's peculiarities. So it felt like the designers were a replica of Kishor as far as design was concerned. Thus, there was less back-and-forth or revision of the design. 

Are there any areas for improvement or something Yellow Slice could have done differently?

So far, no. I am satisfied with it.

They were able to deliver what I wanted:

1. Wireframes
2. Illustrations

Describe their project management. Did they deliver items on time? How did they respond to your needs?

The team is very customer-centric; they were attentive to what I wanted. I love their culture, how they uphold their value in their work, and their engagement with me throughout the duration of my project. It took time to get used to and comfortable with the project, but their willingness and effort to adapt quickly kept me going.

The logo design was a little delayed, but their end result was amazing. I also commend the graphics team for the illustrations. Omkar did a great Job.

I would have appreciated getting the design system earlier than the delivery date or, better still, a partial update to help with the implementation of the design. However, the Handoff between the YS team and my development team went well. I am also suggesting a standard operating procedure to lay down the project communication and management process.

Project management can be better to help reduce confusion among my team and the designers.

Are there any areas for improvement or something Yellow Slice could have done differently?

Just a project manager would be helpful and if Yellow Slice can share design system early

Since Cash Invoice is a B2B Platform, our success metric is based on the satisfaction of Investors and businesses. To start with, the investor was pleased with the new design; we could feel the enthusiasm and eagerness to move forward with the funding. We hope this will attract more investors and businesses, so this is an indication that the design was successful.

Describe their project management. Did they deliver items on time? How did they respond to your needs?

Overall, I’d say they were ready to attend to me; however, it was a bit later than expected due to little issues like iterations. Communication between the team was good but they could enhance more.

Their designers are real experts — they were creative enough to make my project unique. It was a job well done. They were also ready to learn and take feedback positively; it made the whole experience much more positive.

I feel like the time spent on back-and-forths can be reduced, and iteration should be a little faster. The project manager presence could be helpful.

 Describe their project management. Did they deliver items on time? How did they respond to your needs?

It took time, for sure, quite a few iterations from a design perspective and from an understanding and knowledge perspective. But the team eventually got it, and they did a good job. I believe you need the founders to get things right; that is my experience. The team always does a great job, for sure, but to get things in direction, channel the thoughts, and understand the domain, the founders' involvement is always important and critical. And here, to some extent, Kishor was available whenever there was a need.

We hired Yellow Slice to design the first look and feel of our website. While we already had the overall structure, website flow, and user experience (UX), in place. We wanted Yellow Slice to refine the UI elements like the appearance and placement of buttons to enhance the overall user experience. Key Deliverables: UX UI screens in Figma format.

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

What were the measurable outcomes from the project that demonstrate progress or success?

As this was our first UI development for the website, there were no pre-existing metrics such as page visits or bounce rates to serve as benchmarks for comparison.

Describe their project management. Did they deliver items on time? How did they respond to your needs?

We expressed a desire for more involvement from senior members, particularly Sunny. However, over time most interactions were only with Sonalika, and senior management presence was missing. Greater participation from senior team members could have potentially minimized the iterative back-and-forth and enhanced the overall ideation process.

The first design received was very vanilla and plain. It looked like any other templatised website that wasn’t adding any design value to our brand. Hence prompting us to request a rethink of the whole design. The subsequent iterations, featuring elements like the horn, were something we liked. However, Sonalika was very good at implementing the feedback.

What was your primary form of communication with Yellow Slice?

What did you find most impressive or unique about this company?

The overall experience was quite standard, the deliverables were good, and we could launch but not very high-end. However, challenges arose during the development phase due to certain design elements not aligning seamlessly with HTML limitations which led to delays. The final design when compared to the modern design of competitors such as Espresso, Grow, and Upstocks, perceived a gap in design quality.

Are there any areas for improvement or something Yellow Slice could have done differently?

A more comprehensive research of the current design landscape could have been beneficial, especially in terms of the design quality prevalent in the market. Additionally, active participation from senior team members during the ideation process could have bridged the identified gap with designs aligning more closely with the high standards of the market.

What did you find most impressive or unique about this company?

What stands out most is the exceptional level of personal engagement, commitment, and enthusiasm displayed by the entire team. This is very unlikely when you outsource a project, where dedication is limited to a few key individuals. However in Yellow Slice everyone actually cared about the project, gave their time whenever I asked, and got back with meaningful insights. 

Furthermore, interactions with Kishor have been consistently positive, and his ongoing support is truly valuable. The team was good and smart, demonstrating strong leadership.

Are there any areas for improvement or something Yellow Slice could have done differently?

The only area for improvement was the pace of UI delivery, which could have been expedited to enable an earlier app launch. The delay impacted the timing for the app launch, which was done by around October end meant missing the opportunity to introduce it before the start of the World Cup.

1. To redesign their mobile app and web plugin in order to streamline the user journey and user experience.

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

What were the measurable outcomes from the project that demonstrate progress or success?

We introduced the app in September 2023 only and have put TNPS ( Transactional NPS) questions in place but since it has only been a month, it’ll be difficult to get any concrete results. Regardless, if we see just the 1-month data, there was approximately an 18% response rate in the last quarter before the new design was released. After the release, the response rate increased to 23%.

Describe their project management. Did they deliver items on time? How did they respond to your needs?

We deviated from the timeline for almost 1 quarter and the project management had some issues as there was not a single person who was available throughout the project. It became smoother when Sunny was involved in the project. There were many delays during the UI part which resulted in the lack of communication between the UX and the UI teams.

So, what we imagined in the UX part was not translated into the UI during the UI phase. With the change of team members, the knowledge transfer did not happen. And even for aesthetics validation, we had to interfere for good ideas on colors and elements.
