Background

HKT is Hong Kong's premier telecommunications service provider and a leading innovator. Its fixed-line, broadband, mobile communication and media entertainment services offer a unique quadruple-play experience.

 

In this case study, we wanted to redesign the existing app that helps busy people to do important things in an easier way. The challenge was that users accomplish various tasks in different applications, like paying bills for a myriad of services and subscriptions. Wouldn’t it be better to provide a platform for users to merge the services that they have, so they can enjoy a better user experience?

The process

Our design thinking framework helps us with innovation process. We aim to incorporate the key phrases of empathy, define, ideation, prototype, and test.

Pain Points

We gathered the pain points of using the app and the features they are hoping to see in the MY HKT app below.

01

Low app usage rate

Users need to re-login to children apps again when they do tasks within the My HKT app.

03

Inconvenient payment procedure

The bill payment procedures are not convenient for the users, which discourages user to use the app.

02

App redirections

My HKT App redirects users to the children, which users do not enjoy redirecting process.

04

Unappealing UI design

The UI Design is not appealing comparing to the children apps.

Personas

We create 2 personas below based on the affinity maps and findings.

Wireframes

We sketch out some options on how we could improve the existing design.

Prototype

To build a digital ecosystem integrating the loyalty program, e-commerce, travel, insurance, FinTech and HealthTech services., the prototype fits into the company's need. It also enhances customer retention and engagement.

I am thrilled with you ideas. I also like the gamifying feature for the merge of the app.

Welcome

The ending product is very satisfying for the team and the client. It is suggested to have some bundle discounts to motivate users largely to register to the other children apps. As extended thoughts , the application should also concern on how to maintain users' incentive of usage if the users has reached the top level.
