Onboarding Teardown:
Search via App Stores on mobile
Keywords – online groceries, Grocery delivery
Discovery
| What works – 1. Emphasis on instant delivery, fresh fruits, vegetables and dairy
Fails: 1. Dunzo is fourth in the list despite being a leader in the field of delivery 2. The other services are listed but not easily visible 3. The search result does not mention Dunzo’s quick response and delivery time
Recommendation: 1. The search result can show all three major services provided by the app 2. The text in the organic search can emphasize the quick response on fresh vegetables, courier and medicines delivery |
Download Page
| What works 1. Emphasis on instant delivery, fresh fruits, vegetables and dairy 2. *Aha moment* – the app solves multiple pain points – quick delivery of fresh produce, medicines and packages (courier)
Fails: 1. Dunzo is fourth in the list despite being a leader in the field of delivery . The other services are listed but not easily visible 2. The search result does not mention Dunzo’s quick response and delivery time
Recommendation: 1. One graphic showing all three major services provided by the app will describe the app’s CVP better 2. The text in the organic search can emphasize the quick response on fresh vegetables, courier and medicines delivery |
On Opening the App:: Request for notification permissions
| What works: 1. Will keep the customer informed of the status of the delivery, ensure that the delivery partner gets the accurate delivery location and the customer knows when the delivery parter reaches the location
Fails: 1. Sounds may be distracting
Recommendation: 1. Allow the customer to create standard instructions for frequent delivery/pick up locations as well as allow the customer to provide the same later in the ordering process for one off locations for ease of specifying instructions according to frequency |
Singup page
| What works: 1. Simple and easy registration with just the phone number
Fails: 1. Core Value Prop not highlighted
|
Input your phone number
| What works: 1. Simple and easy OTP verification to the phone number inputted on the previous screen
Fails: 1. Too much white space |
Location Access
| What works: 1. “Use current location” is highlighted, making it easy for the user to provide the pickup/delivery address 2. Option to used saved addresses 3. *Aha moment* - customer can save frequently used addresses for quick reference Fails: 1. Not easy to amend a saved address |
Choose a service
| What works: 1. Auto selects the person’s location if it is a saved address 2. Option to choose the service desired at the bottom of the page or shop by category allowing for quick choices
Fails: 1. Defaults to fresh produce 2. Its not intuitive to look at 2 different places for the different services offered Recommendation: 1. After the registration have a screen giving the customer a list of services to choose from or ask them what they would like to do |
Choose a service
| What works: 1. Once you choose a service, for example, I have chosen Daily Grocery, it takes me to a list of stores in my vicinity so I can make a choice based on delivery time or my own personal preferences 2. Stores are listed from shortest delivery time to the longest
Fails: 1. Too many options on the one page. 2. Courier appears in the “Essentials delivered to your door” as well as in the options at the bottom of the screen creating confusion
Recommendation: 1. Show visuals of the 3 services Dunzo provides on one screen so the customer can choose what they want – i. Groceries delivery ii. Medicine Delivery iii. Courier |
Once you pick a store
| What works: 1. Shows the best sellers first so you know what the store is known for 2. Further down it shows the different categories of products the store carries 3. Further down it suggests products based on earlier purchases allowing for easier and faster choices
Fails: 1. Too many categories, some are showing multiple times
Recommendation: 1. Have a few high level categories to allow for easier choice |
Once you pick a product
| What works: 1. Shows the quantity chosen right below the product 2. Shows the cart at the bottom of the page showing the number of products and the quantities (total number of items) for ease of tracking
Fails: 1. If you change your mind at any point and want to change the quantity, you have to reduce or increase by pressing the + or – button 2. Cannot buy from multiple stores at the same time
Recommendation: 1. Allow the customer to put in a numerical value next to the item instead of having to press the add or delete buttons. 2. Like in Swiggy Instamart allow the customer to pick their store of choice or item(s) of choice, calculate the service fee based on the number of stores involved and distance instead of making the customer create multiple individual orders |
Cart View
| What works: 1. Shows the items and quantities in the cart 2. Prompt to add a coupon code 3. Prompt to add a tip for the delivery partner
Fails: 1. Page is too busy. Partner tip, for example can be offered after a successful on time delivery |
Making a purchase
| What works: 1. Prompt to reconfirm the delivery address 2. Transparency of charges - Once you confirm the location, it shows you the total amount depending on the items purchased, distance, handling fee and delivery fee 3. Prompt to add a tip for the delivery partner |
Payment Screen
| What works: 1. Prompt to pick a mode of payment 2. Last mode of payment auto selected 3. Other options are listed in case the person wants to pay differently than the last time they used Dunzo
|
Payment confirmation screen
| What works: 1. Immediate estimate of delivery time 2. Easy tracking and updates on the delivery partner 3. Delivery partner can send messages in case of delays
