Project description

The all new Timely stock app aims to empower it's users to get their stock related tasks done quick and easy with an advanced set of features combining the goodness of a mobile app and a barcode scanner!

Timeline

From explorations to final designs and a roll out release, this app took about 12 months, while other projects were being completed at the same time.

Background

Collaboratively with a dynamic product team at Timely, we developed a unique inventory app that enhances the stock management process for our core consumers.

Concentrating on barcode scanning with the objective to refine the data quality on our customer's inventory. By enhancing their data, they can smoothly scan their items, execute rapid stock modifications during the day, and ultimately lead to a more precise and expedited stock assessment.

This is the premier inventory app that's specifically crafted with the cosmetics and hair care industry at the heart of all design considerations. Particularly designing the app around retail and professional inventory which is their product classification method.

Thus far, we've noticed a considerable enhancement in our core consumer's inventory control, either managing inventory for the first time or maintaining accurate stock levels. This represents a significant victory for our clients.

Research & Planning

Throughout the year, we've carried out a myriad of studies, customer interview, site visits, mapping, service blueprint, JTBD and user testing among other activities. Through this methods, we've succeeded in developing a solution that addresses a genuine requirement in the hair and beauty sector.

7 businesses from UK, AUZ and NZ participated in out testing session, which had very clear measurements of success.

Design & Prototyping

An incremental design methodology was employed, with minor segments being designed, scrutinised, developed, and transferred to our test application. As momentum increased, this operation was accelerated, resulting in the beta release for a core group of clients. We complemented this with an intimate Facebook community of power users, aiding in rapid insight and opinion gathering.

Development & Implementation

Leveraged agile development methodologies to build the stock management app from the ground up, given that is was a brand me app to the Timely product suite. Incorporating insights from the core Timely web app, we successfully integrated essential functions and expanded from that point.

Testing & Optimisation

Conducted rigorous testing across various devices and platforms to ensure compatibility and performance. Gathered user feedback through beta testing and iteratively optimised the app based on usability metrics and user satisfaction.
