Overview

Flying Tigers Express, a courier service specializing in same-day and next-day interisland deliveries, relied on a form-based ordering system that worked but needed improvements. I redesigned the experience to make the form more intuitive, structured, and efficient. The result? A 200% increase in deliveries.

The Challenge

Users had to manually enter shipment details, which took longer than necessary. The interface also lacked consistency making the experience feel unpolished.

  • Key issues included low contrast, cluttered backgrounds, and inconsistent typography, making the experience feel unpolished.

  • Jargon-heavy terms and redundant steps added unnecessary friction.

  • The process required 10+ screens and 34 clicks, forcing users to recall previous inputs as they progressed.

  • No final summary made it difficult for users to review their details before completing the booking.

The Roadblock

No immediate map integration

No immediate map integration

One challenge was the inability to integrate maps right away, requiring users to manually input addresses. The redesign had to work within this constraint while still making the process faster and easier.

Solution: A bottom sheet allows users to input addresses without leaving the homepage, reducing friction, speeding up the process, and providing a seamless workaround for the lack of map integration

The Redesign

A streamlined booking flow

Inline address input

A bottom sheet lets users enter addresses without disrupting their progress

Cross-platform accessibility

The booking process is designed for both mobile and web, ensuring a seamless experience across devices.

Enhancing terminology

I led the initiative to replace technical jargon with user-friendly terms, simplifying shipping labels to "Sender" and "Recipient" for better clarity.

Transparent pricing

An order summary provides a clear breakdown of costs before checkout

Error-proof checkout

The final step ensures all details are correct, with space for additional notes, minimizing mistakes and support requests.

Instant confirmation

The Results

Streamlined to 25 clicks, 200% growth in 4 Months

Streamlined to 25 clicks, 200% growth in 4 Months

  • Clicks required to complete a booking were reduced to 25

  • User feedback highlighted the need for a saved address feature for recurring customers, which was added to enhance convenience.

  • While not part of this iteration, we later introduced clearer guidelines for same-day and next-day bookings to account for cutoff times.

  • Booking volume increased by 200% within four months of launch, demonstrating significant user adoption and improved efficiency.

Side note: I also designed both the courier app and the operations portal within just three months, ensuring a seamless experience across the entire system.
