The hypermarket Jumbo, part of the Cencosud chain, needed to streamline its online shopping process to boost site conversions.

We designed a new online shopping process that allowed for the presentation of a greater number of products in a more attractive and recognizable manner, making it easier to purchase multiple items. This positively impacted the number of items per purchase and the average ticket size.

Before and After

Areas of Work:

• Using a user-centered design methodology, we conducted contextual interviews to observe users making purchases in their usual environment. This allowed us to identify various factors that caused friction during the shopping process.
• Based on our observations, we created a functional prototype, on which we conducted usability tests to validate that the new design satisfied the users needs.

Increase is one of the startups that, under the Wayra accelerator program, participated in our consulting and mentoring program focused on UX techniques for the development of their product.

The Increase platform enables businesses to understand, manage, and administer all operations they carry out with credit and debit cards.

• Before our work with Increase, most of their clients interacted with the application through Excel.
• After improving the interface’s usability, users began to interact with the application more frequently than with Excel.

Areas of Work:

• As a starting point, we conducted a round of usability tests on the platform as it stood in October 2014. During this phase, we evaluated the value proposition and the system’s usability.
• We used these insights to organize a second research session. This time, we conducted contextual interviews with users of the tool to uncover the issues they encountered during regular use.
• The Increase team took all the information gathered from both phases and redesigned the site’s homepage, enhancing the communication of the value proposition, platform registration, and overall usage. They prioritized and structured the information displayed to allow for better management. The entire redesign process was carried out by the entrepreneurial team with weekly follow-up from Kambrica.
• We facilitated knowledge transfer regarding the Lean process so that the team could continue applying the methodology after the program ended. This provided the startup with the tools to keep refining and improving its product.
• Through the Lean UX program, we helped Increase identify key areas for product improvement, including features, usability, and interaction design.
• We also assisted in enhancing the value proposition through user interviews.
• We trained the team in UX practices.

They taught us to think and understand how to create a product based on what the customer needs, rather than what the founders want. How to design a product by listening, analyzing, and, above all, observing our users. Kambrica helped us build a solid product that still maintains the same structure today.

In 2010, Santander Río bank needed to migrate the request for its products from the physical to the online channel. Up until that point, very few customers were willing to apply for credit cards online.

The reasons: low trust in the online channel and forms that required information users didn’t understand or weren’t willing to complete.

Areas of work:

We redesigned all the application forms, following best practices in usability and accessibility.

• Conducted UX Research to evaluate existing processes, user motivations and interests, opportunities, and areas for improvement.
• Redesigned the process for applying for credit cards and banking packages, following best practices in persuasion, usability, accessibility, and responsive design.
• Redesigned internal Knowledge Management systems.
• Conducted interviews with the Call Center to learn about best sales practices, which were then applied to upselling processes.

The Office of Judicial Affairs at Stanford University selected us for our ability to provide design and development that met Section 508 standards: making it accessible to all individuals, regardless of their technical, cognitive, or physical abilities. This earned recognition from a panel of experts at the prestigious South by Southwest (SXSW) Festival in 2004.

The information architecture and content strategy recommendations were made considering the use cases where faculty and students must access the site: sensitive topics related to violations of the university’s honor code, such as plagiarism, substance abuse, or sexual harassment.

The HTML/CSS development not only resolved accessibility issues with the same code but also included special styles for different resolutions and printing, automatically selecting them when printing the page or generating PDFs.

Thanks to this responsive approach, the site became the single repository of official information for all formats, eliminating maintenance issues related to information across multiple formats and requiring the responsible staff to document and train on a single platform.

Areas of work:

• Consulting
• Accessibility
• Information Architecture
• Interface Design
• Front-end Development
• Validation with users with disabilities
