Case study: WooliesX ‘Smart Substitutions’
2018 to 2019 (12-month roadmap)
I owned the e-commerce substitution customer journey and led an agile squad tasked with improving the overall substitution experience and to address any revenue shortfall caused by the existing journey.
The approach:
Product canvas - defined problem statement, business benefit, solution summary and revenue target.
UX phase - first use of UX in the e-commerce team. Sketching sessions, co-creation workshops, journey mapping etc.
Inception session - directed 40+ stakeholders in a day of activity to gain buy in and clarity on scope.
Solution - a complex series of solutions was determined traversing multiple teams (in store, data and web/app).
Phased approach - introduced lean approach where pilot 'test stores' were given sample recommendations.
Launch - pilot launch on in-store devices via scrum team followed by national launch once validated.
Findings:
Feedback loops built during the pilot phase were robust, delivering feedback from customers and store teams. Customer satisfaction measurably improved.
Further enhancements and future directions:
'Best-in-class' future solution defined.
