User Interviews
Conducted virtual interviews with sellers to understand their daily challenges with the app.
Support Ticket Analysis
Reviewed historical support data and seller complaints to identify patterns in usability issues.

Trust & Compliance Issues
Inadequate seller validation led to compliance risks and reduced trust in the system.
Payment Confusion
Fragmented payment workflows caused misunderstandings and financial planning issues.
Operational Bottlenecks
Manual truck placement and document collection slowed down processes.
Limited Visibility
Sellers lacked real-time shipment tracking, leading to frequent follow-ups.
Role Management
Absence of access controls caused inefficiencies in task delegation.
Inconsistent UI
Poor navigation and design inconsistencies made tasks harder to complete.
