ANWB My Account

This is a case study showing how I increased product density through cross & upselling by leading the redesign of the My Account environment across the 3 main ANWB mobile apps.

My responsibilities

Customer Insights & Ideation

I partnered with project managers and designers of the other 2 app teams to uncover insights and translate concepts into features that address customer behaviours and motivations.

Planning & Scope Definition

I defined the product with my project manager partners. I evangelised customer goals and balanced business goals. I prioritised and negotiated features for launch and beyond.

Design Execution & Validation

I managed the end-to-end design process of the team, working alongside with developers and product managers throughout the development lifecycle and ensuring on-time, detailed, and polished deliverables to better adapt Android and iOS devices. 

Experience Strategy & Vision

I created frameworks and presentations to share the vision, design principles and content strategy. This helped to evangelise ideas, gain alignment and drive decision making.

Validation

I managed usability testing in preparation for redesign. I defined testing parameters and script, created prototypes, facilitated test and reported results.

Leadership

I designed up and presented works to gain buy‐in from executives and senior stakeholders  throughout the project lifecycle.

The challenge

The main business goal was to increase product density through cross & upselling in My Account. The challenge was to redesign the My Account environment, allowing ANWB members to find the products and services they have purchased effortlessly,  and get inspired to purchase new services or upgrade the ones they have.

Research to identify user problems

I began doing a task analysis based on the current My ANWB environment and asking users what overall tasks they are trying to accomplish or how they currently accomplish the task. My goal was to understand user behaviours, needs, and motivations. 

The main tasks they were trying to accomplish were:

  • get administrative information about their membership

  • get information about the products and services they have purchased, like the coverage of their insurance

  • upgrade or change a service

  • find previously purchased products

  • find created and saved content

The biggest pain points users were facing in the current My ANWB were:

  • the list was too functional and not very inspiring

  • it was difficult to find the information they were looking for

  • the products and services screen contained too much information and had no visual hierarchy, increasing the cognitieve load

  • too many accordions making it difficult to use

  • Not clear where to go to upgrade a service

  • options were not based on user profile

Vision statement

In order to define what the product should provide, I organised a collaborative workshop session where key stakeholders and team members aligned on a shared future-state vision.

Wireframes

I created Low-Fi wireframes in order to align ideas with the UX designers of the other 2 app teams and quickly gather feedback during our weekly critique meetings. The goal was to combine the business goals with user needs, and solve the user problems identified before, and come up with a user-centered solution that would fit all 3 apps.

Example of Low-Fi wireframes used to define content order and hierarchy.

Visual mockups

I went from wireframes and low fidelity designs to visual mockups that I could use to validate the solution with product managers and stakeholders.

Slides I created to present the vision to product managers and stakeholders.

Validations

After getting all teams and disciplines on board with the ideas and solutions, I created a high fidelity prototype in Figma. In collaboration with the UX research team, I managed a guerrilla research at the ANWB store in The Hague. I defined testing parameters, questions and script, created prototypes, interviewed customers and reported results throughout the company.

Detailed design and specs

Based on the findings from both UX research and validation sessions, we were able to come up with a list of changes that were addressed and updated in the prototype.


I created the documentations needed to communicate requirements to the development team and support quality assurance in writing test cases and measurement plans.

Part of this step was creating and adding the missing components to the Figma design system in collaboration with the UX designers of the other app teams, and aligning with the web teams to ensure consistency throughout all ANWB touch points.

Outcomes

Unfortunately, my contract ended before we could capture analytics based results after the go-live date. The points I would like to have validated to confirm my hypothesis are:
- Increase in cross & upselling, purchase of new services and upgrade of existing services for new and existing customers, and the total revenue raised.

  • User satisfaction and relationship with members, by running new surveys validating how the vision statement is perceived and if the pain points were really improved, and identify opportunities to further improvements.

  • If the monthly active users and user retention rate have increased

  • The impact on login numbers

Furthermore, having listened to the end users and simply giving them what they truly needed, we managed to not only satisfy their wants, but also deliver enough value to the business. From the UX standpoint, this was also a learning opportunity to deliver great solution within limiting constrains across multiple teams and different stakeholders.
