Although Chizel is a market leader in the domain and is known for high quality products, there was scope was simplification in the quote process. Due to the high cognitive load the main functionality of the app, which was to order 3D objects in different materials and colors, was not prominent enough. As a result, the user flow was slow moving and it also lead to high operations cost.

Challenges:

• To make the main functionality (placing order & getting quote) more prominent.
• Increase trust in the prototyping and process through creative design ideas.
• Remove the multiple mailing steps as made the process lenghty and time consuming.
• To reduce the overall clutter of the files and different screens without compromising on the content and information.
• To improve the overall user flow and the ease of navigation.

• Used hero image and supporting elements to bring out main functionality
• Researched market and digged into user profiles of previous customers for better understanding of personas-uncovered their familarity with new technology in printing and product expectations
• Provided paperless flow option to upload multiple files and process each file independently, which saved time and gave room for error correction.
• Educated the user about different material options, suitability and process.
• Created enhanced experience for returning customers by introducing archieves - saving history of requirement and delivery.
