Payment Terminal Replacement

I played a key role in designing and implementing a new self-service terminal replacement system for the Swiss market, ensuring a seamless transition between User Research and UI Design to meet tight deadlines and improve user experience and efficiency.

Context

The manual process of replacing payment terminals was costly and time-consuming due to the diversity of terminals and brands, each with distinct pricing, rental or purchase subscription models, and delivery charges. Our objective was to streamline and accelerate this process by creating a self-service terminal replacement system.

Layer of challenges

  •     User Problem: Transitioning users from a flegacy portal to a new platform without causing confusion and ensuring a smooth experience.
  •     Business Problem: Reduce the high costs and inefficiencies associated with manual terminal replacement.

user insights

In a robust discovery phase, we conducted user research and stakeholder interviews, uncovering several critical insights:

  •     Users were accustomed to the legacy system and might resist the transition to a new platform.
  •     The variety of terminal options and associated costs needed to be clearly communicated and simplified to avoid user frustration.

ideation

By analyzing user pain points, we discovered many opportunities for exploration and technical feasibility. Creating a detailed mind map that connects business objectives to design strategies is essential for ensuring this project's success. Establishing a clear North Star helps us develop a rollout plan and stay on track with the project timeline.
