Problem

Vendors struggle to quickly find the cabinets they need.

Interviewed with 10 vendors and found out they struggle to quickly find the cabinet they need due to the poor navigation and low filter accuracy.

4/5 vendors felt misled by the navigation.

9/10 vendors want more filter categories and better filter accuracy.

Ideation

Re-structure the navigation and filters to help users find products more efficiently.

I aim to shorten the product search path by combining intuitive navigation with accurate filters.

Reorganize the navigation hierarchy by prioritizing key categories, allowing vendors to intuitively navigate to specific product pages. With more targeted filters, users can narrow down search results more efficiently and find the right products faster.

Prototypess

Rebuilt the navigation and filters in shopping flow.

I aim to provide essential filter categories and rearrange the navigation as needed.

Usability Testing

I gained 2 key insights through usability testing with 10 participants.

10 participants include 6 regular customers and 4 new customers.

Prioritize filters to drive more accurate product search results.

Keep filters visible and allow multiple selections for vendor adjustments.

Final Design

By selecting the most important filter first and applying additional filters, vendors can significantly improve the accuracy of their search results. Allowing multiple filter selections further enhances search precision and efficiency.

Key Learnings

In the real world, design decisions are often driven by the need to achieve business goals. It’s essential to ensure that designs not only align with these goals but also prioritize collaboration across cross-functional teams to create solutions that balance user needs with business objectives.

Next Step

I proposed a comparison feature using detailed user flows and wireframes, with the goal of incorporating this feature into the next launch.
