Customers are inconvenienced by low stock levels in store.* This demonstrates to the customer that the business doesn’t understand their buying behaviour and needs. The result is that the experience fails to meet their expectations.

Persona

Personas allowed me to make informed decisions based on empathy and connection.

Solution

a—me (spoken “a to me”)
A sportswear delivery service partnered with users favourite sportswear brands. Delivering locally within 60 mins.

How does it solve the problem?
Check store inventory quickly and easily before you leave the couch of office. A proactive solution I discovered through customer journey mapping—addressing the problem before it occurs.
