FimiMall needed to build their driver's delivery experience from the ground up
FimiMall needed to build their driver's delivery experience from the ground up
FimiMall is a pioneer in the fashion delivery industry. They are the first Toronto-based company to approach wardrobe delivery in the same way people know meal delivery. Think of it as "the Instacart for fashion", but with a longer timeframe (5-72hrs). For this, they've developed an MVP mobile app and are now ready to develop a V2 based on their current drivers feedback.
I was hired to design the full driver experience, from searching and accepting to picking up and delivering a multi-day order.
So what's the problem?
FimiMall drivers had very little control over their delivery journey and were reporting needing further assistance and order information while running deliveries.

The app lacked essential features
1
Order decline feature
Orders were automatically assigned via email. There was no way to reject an order in the app.
2
Order history
The only way to see their previously assigned orders would be to check their email history.
3
Chat feature
When issues or inquiries came up, drivers needed to find the support team's number and call.

Both competitor and FimiMall drivers share the same values and pain points. However…
My co-researchers and I conducted user interviews and usability testing of the existing app with 10 participants.
I learned that delivery drivers in general share the same type of values and pain points regardless of the type of item they deliver. However, FimiMalll drivers face the unique challenge of multi-day orders (5 - 72hrs), making their pain points stronger when taking several orders at once.
Communication with customers, stores, and company becomes imperative.

This affinity map allowed me to fully grasp what drivers' experience is like on a work day. I gained some valuable insights into their frustrations, which brought me to arriving at these conclusions:
Drivers feel more motivated when they have freedom of choice.
Drivers want clear and effective paths for delivery.
Drivers want more support; they feel a disconnect with the companies they work with.

Freedom of choice: New order pop-up cards now allow drivers to make choices
Freedom of choice: New order pop-up cards now allow drivers to make choices
One of the main reasons drivers decide to work with delivery apps is the freedom of choice. They value being able to make their own schedules and choosing which orders are most convenient to them.
'New order pop-up cards' allow drivers to make decisions based on data:
Approximate travel time and distance
Tips included
Gas expense
Earnings/distance ratio
User interviews revealed these are the top elements to consider when deciding which orders to take on competitor apps.

Clear path to follow: Info-cards that support drivers at every step of the journey
Delivery drivers often struggle with locating stores in a timely manner due to the lack of instructions given by retailers.
I designed informative, encouraging cards that drivers can access at any point, providing them with enough information and instructions to confidently move through the journey stages.
Spot info: Parking information, instructions, mall map (if relevant)
Order info: Number of items, QR code
Pick up confirmed: Rate the retailer's method, add notes, and continue to location #2.

More support: A personalized experience with better communication
More support: A personalized experience with better communication
Issues with communicating with the support team as well as the customer were the reported #1 reason for late deliveries, according to our interviewed users.
Adding an accessible chat feature made their experience feel increasingly "safer," as they could express and defend their concerns, issues with orders, and occasional inconveniences without the fear of losing their pay.

Users loved the concepts, but claimed the UI felt slightly too crowded.

I tested all three new features with all 10 participants. The positive feedback was impressive; however, 6/10 users shared that the aesthetic was a little dense.
"I understand the screen very well, but could it have a bit more breathing room?"
"I really love how it's looking, though it's a little heavy."
Recognizing my design needed another iteration phase, I identified two key elements to rework:
Leverage of negative space
Emphasize CTAs

The current model assigns multiple drivers to deliver to the same customer, which causes potential confusion between drivers and customers.
In my pitch, I explained to my client how this new feature assigns one driver to complete one customer's order at a time, preventing confusion and allowing for greater tips for the drivers.

"The design is cohesive and intuitive. I was impressed to learn new things about my users and see new ways for FimiMall to help drivers organize one full order at a time.
Great results!"

FimiMall is on their way to developing their new features.
To help FimiMall advance in their business growth, I was able to prepare a comprehensive user feedback loop that actively collects input from working drivers to continue refining the user flow.
We expect:
50% driver satisfaction increase, measured by this feedback loop system.
