Target Persona

  • Users often have no effective way to reach customer service other than a google phone number or have to go through a lengthy search to find a phone number.
  • Users need to find all kinds of scattered information provided by dealers through email or SMS, which is not convenient to consult.
  • Users don't always have the time to drive to the dealership for after-sales service.
After analyzing different users, we thought of many countermeasures to solve the problem of not being able to get customer service in time. Such as setting up 24x7 customer service, and AI voice, which only provides limited and simple services because AI voice is not very smooth yet. Real human customer service We set up during office hours to ensure that users can get real service in a timely manner.
As bmw is a luxury brand, customer service is the most important core service, which is also a major pain point that we need to solve in this project. After understanding this pain point, we timely feedback with BMW whether we can provide such manual customer service, and make it one of the core of the whole project.

How to make it looks good?

After user research and idealisation wire-framing, we start to thinking about UI design, which is also a big challenge for us.

The challenge is client had a very precise and strict requirement about the interface of the app should look like?

We want users to feel familiar with this app, so we decided to incorporate car elements into the design. This approach helped us establish a visual language that resonates with our users. For example, we used a car dashboard as a central visual element. The dashboard reflects membership level growth through various activities, serving as the highlight of the entire interface.
