THE Challenge

Trading in Gold

A platform to connect jewellers with Customers.

Many jewellers have missed out on opportunities to trade due to the unorganised market system, a solid client portfolio, and ineffective methods for transacting in gold.

our Approach

The Method Behind magic

Our Strategic Design

We use our STEP process: Soak, Think, Execute, and Proof. This project illustrates this flow, beginning with UX Research that informed strategic UX Design, ultimately leading to impactful UI Design.

Decoding the Ecosystem

A 360° View

We began with a thorough exploration, analysing the competitive landscape and existing user experience. In-depth interviews with target users informed our next steps.

Key Themes Identified

Build Trust and Transparency

Augmont build trust with hesitant users by being transparent about fees and ensuring secure transactions. Regular updates on security can instil confidence.

Diverse Investment Choices

Augmont explore options for investment products with better returns, including innovative schemes.

Jewellery Education

Augmont offered educational resources on gold jewellery, covering making charges and optimizing purchases for investment. This helps users make informed buying decisions.

India gold

A fintech platform that offers a convenient and efficient way for individuals to access gold loans through digital means also offers flexible repayment options.

  • Their standout features are the incorporation of gamification elements to enhance user engagement, and user-friendly calculators to simplify trading processes.
  • It boasts its app to be the most secure by partnering with banks for vault security.

Rupeek

An Indian fintech company that provides gold-backed loans to individuals through a unique model for obtaining loans by pledging their gold jewelry as collateral.

  • Their on-demand home or office visits for gold loans, differentiate them from the competitors by unique and customer-centric experience.
  • Particularly notable for their introduction of specialized variations and additional loan features to attract customers with specific requirements.

Opportunity

We linked the café app to the POS, ensuring customised orders flow smoothly and reduce errors.

Core problems

  • The already existing sections of the app including Gold+, Gold Loans, and asset management were experiencing a lack of quality users, leading to lower conversion and revenue.
  • The app was facing a decline in conversion because of its highly complex and multi-step app processes.
  • Difficult navigation, and an outdated and unappealing interface lead to poor user experience and ultimately lead to poor user traffic and engagement.

Key Opportunities

  • We have introduced several useful features for a digital gold app including a round-off feature, and a product as a target feature to attract more quality users.
  • We have simplified and reduced the steps for several of their processes, including onboarding to make it user-friendly.
  • The user experience of the app was improvised with the use of appealing illustrations and trendy icons.

Architecting Experience

From Insights to Frameworks

We crafted the user experience for the cafe app, defining prioritised features, intuitive task flows, and clear wireframes. The POS redesign required a new features list, comprehensive task flows, logical navigation, a sitemap, and robust wireframes for seamless interaction.
