Maxilana

Maxilana had a web page that had all the information of its inventories by branch. However, finding the products was difficult. Navigating and finding the actions the user wanted to find was difficult. These factors limited the digital growth of the company.

How could they take advantage of all the infrastructure that they already had built? How could they offer an Omnichannel experience and take advantage of all their branches? How to offer a satisfactory user experience? How to put all their inventory of all their branches to the public?

• Lack of consistency in the interface.
• Forms that hindered the result.
• Difficult to read text formats.
• Online and in-store sales inventories were separate which made it difficult to find products.
• Product images weren’t optimized which made them slow to load.
• Difficulty navigating and finding the information the user was looking for.

• Create a design system that is consistent throughout the interface.
• Give order and coherence to the navigation of the site.
• Finding solutions as to how products that have different types of inventory such as in-store sale and online sale are going to be sold.
• Increase users’ confidence when buying online.
• Make core conversions friendlier and easier.
• Allow users to easily quote, pawn, personal loan or request vouchers.
• Boost the loading speed on the site to increase the probability of sale.
• Offer a satisfying local shopping experience.

To generate smooth navigation in the site, the first step was to generate an inventory of the content that the site should have.

After analyzing all the contents and doing different exercises we reached the conclusion of grouping them as follows: Company, services, branches, legal and resources.

Resulting in two of the main components of the interface, the menu and the footer.

One of the main challenges of this project is being able to offer a unique experience of selling used auction items. Only some of the products in their inventory are eligible for direct sale online; that is why it is important to be able to show the user the garments that are available locally by adding the products that can be sold online. In order to educate the user that there are two types of inventories, two indicators were designed that allow us to know if the product is for "home delivery" or "pick up at a branch." For this reason, it was essential to design how the user is going to select the location. In addition to always having access to the menu, a filter was created for the list of products. By default, inventories are always shown combined. Selecting the city filter gives you the opportunity to separate the inventories.

In order to attract more prospects for the personal loan service, we created a calculator that helps clients know how much they have to pay and how often.

In addition, when requesting the loan, we gave the user the option for Maxilana to communicate with them or for them as users to directly forward a Whatsapp message to Maxilana to get in touch.

One of the main opportunities regarding this project was to improve its performance.

Analyzing all the problems of the old site we discovered that Maxilana had a very good information infrastructure, this allowed us to propose solutions that increased the probability of it being successful. We facilitated the accessibility of the user to request information; added calls to action for customers to communicate on WhatsApp, created an in-store only inventory shopping experience by adding maps to product pages, and made online payments so much easier. All of this using cutting-edge technologies such as Next Js that allows us to offer a very fluid experience due to page load times.

We trust that this project will be a watershed for Maxilana that will lead them to be one of the best pawn shops in Mexico.
