01. THE CHALLENGES

  • High abandonment rates during the fault reporting journey (500 per week).

  • Pre-check loading states lacked context, leaving users unsure if diagnostics were being performed.

  • Lack of visual hierarchy reduced the visibility of key actions and status updates.

  • Users with multiple services experienced difficulty identifying the relevant service when diagnostics returned no clear fault

  • 40% of users who abandoned the flow called customer support.

02. THE APPROACH

  • Conducted usability testing on the live fault reporting journey to identify key pain points.

  • Analysed findings across pre-checks, service selection, and diagnostics.

  • Created low-fidelity wireframes to explore improved structure and flow.

  • Built interactive prototype to test the new fault reporting experience.

  • Ran further usability testing to test new designs and iterated based on feedback.

  • Handed off final designs to development with specs and guidance.

03. THE OUTCOMES

  • Reduced abandonment during the pre-check journey by 32%.

  • Reduced support calls related to fault reporting by 30%.

  • Added contextual loading states to clearly communicate each stage of the diagnostic process.

  • Created bespoke illustrations and animations to create a more engaging loading state.

  • Introduced contextual status cards using colour-coded visual cues to distinguish identified faults from services requiring further action.

  • Designed and added a table with advanced filtering to help users quickly locate the correct service within large accounts.

  • Created a guided three-step journey to help users narrow down affected services when faults couldn’t be automatically identified.
