Research

To make a product better than all the others, it’s important to first scope out the competition. We figured out what exactly to compare?Are we interested in usability?Overall UX? Specific feature? Whatever it is, it’s crucial to understand how the product stacks up against its competition.

Analyses

We conducted a quantitative analysis to obtain valuable insights and acquired data with Semrush. In 2015 investigation by "Hetq," the hierarchy of telecom providers in the Armenian market was examined, and the findings were added in an article. Upon analyzing these findings, we discovered statistics indicating that Armentel (now known as Team AM) was the initial market entrant. Subsequently, Viva MTS entered the market, bringing a fresh perspective. As of the end of 2014, approximately 1,052,398 individuals accessed the company's internet services through mobile phones, which accounts for approximately 42% of the country's population of 2,500,000.

In 2018, significant changes occurred within the Ucom company, resulting in numerous alterations to both personnel and positions. Consequently, Ucom faced the necessity of recruiting new staff and undertaking a substantial workload. Subsequently, from approximately 2020 to 2021, Ucom Armenia witnessed a notable increase in its customer base. The primary objective during this period was to initially secure the second position in the market, with the ultimate aspiration of attaining the coveted first place.

Old screen weaknesses

The initial concern pertains to the navigation aspect of the system. Learning and navigating through it proves challenging due to the lack of meaningful and recognizable icons. Additionally, the excessive presence of call-to-action (CTA) buttons adds to the confusion. It becomes difficult to discern which CTA to select, as all buttons are presented as primary without any secondary options.

Old screen weaknesses

The tab bar is currently causing confusion due to its design. It features an excessive number of bars, making it unclear which one is the correct option and where to tap. Navigating to the intended page requires too many steps. In order to enhance usability, it is recommended to streamline the process, reducing the number of taps required and providing a clear list of options. Also in detailed pages there aren’t back button, which confuses users how to navigate back. Additionally, the lack of a browsing history for previously opened pages forces users to access the hamburger menu on the details page instead of utilizing a more intuitive back button.

New suggestions

Through stakeholder and user interviews, we discovered a strong user desire to check their existing balance and tariff plan effortlessly, without the need for additional clicks or detailed pages. Additionally, users expressed the importance of easily accessing features such as balance recharge, exploring available tariff options, and engaging with news and features similar to social media stories.

Designs

After understanding user needs, goals, and pain points, we aligned them with business requirements and generated initial design screens. I developed several design versions and components, which served as a starting point for other designers to carry on with the mobile version and conduct testing. One important suggestion I made, in response to both user needs and market competition, was the incorporation of a gamification component. Recognizing that this feature was crucial for millennials and present in our competitor's app, it became imperative for us to include it as well.
Thanks to our collaborative efforts, we have observed significant progress in the past 2-3 months since the app was released. The number of downloads has increased from 1,400 to 1,700, indicating a positive trend.
