Context
The situation.
Customers could not see order status without contacting the service team, and the team spent much of its day answering the same questions.
An earlier portal had low adoption because it covered only a subset of the tasks customers actually needed to complete.
Approach
What we did.
- 01
User and task research
We interviewed customers and service staff to identify the tasks that generated the most contact and the information customers needed.
- 02
Portal experience design
Navigation, self-service, status, documents, and communication flows were designed around those tasks.
- 03
Secure development
Authentication, roles, permissions, and data protection were designed alongside the application rather than added later.
- 04
Adoption and support
Onboarding, communication, analytics, and a support model were included in the launch plan.
Outcome
What changed.
- Routine status and document requests moved into a self-service channel.
- The service team gained a clearer view of customer activity and exceptions.
- The portal was launched with a defined owner, documentation, and a process for iteration.
