In the dynamic world of the shipping industry, where transporting cargo efficiently is paramount, our collaboration with a prominent client has yielded significant results.
This case study delves into how Reiz Tech partnered with a top leading client in the shipping industry to develop a user-centric self-service portal, streamline the user experience, and overcome unique challenges in this ever-evolving domain.
Project Overview
The client's primary focus was to enhance the user experience by providing customers with real-time access to shipment information through a self-service portal. We took on the challenge of creating the portal from scratch, ensuring that users could effortlessly track shipments, access sailing schedules, and view planned ships. The first release, though time-intensive, laid the foundation for subsequent bi-monthly releases that now optimize the platform continually.
Problem/Challenge
Initially, the collaboration faced hurdles in assembling the right team, with fluctuations in personnel on the client's side. Convincing the client to adopt a comprehensive QA process and UX/UI integration posed an additional challenge. Moreover, the client's reluctance to plan for future architectural solutions hindered the team's progress. Integrating the self-service portal with legacy systems was also demanding.
Solution
We tackled these challenges by providing an expert team, including a Scrum Master, architect, and front-end and back-end developers, ensuring the core team remained intact throughout development. The team involved the client in decision-making to overcome architectural hurdles while fostering a forward-looking approach.
Integrating QA and UX/UI ensured a top-notch user experience for the self-service portal. Legacy system integrations were addressed through meticulous planning and innovative technical expertise.
Results
The implementation of the self-service portal brought the following key outcomes for the client:
Enhanced User Experience: Customers now have an intuitive and efficient platform to track their shipments, access sailing schedules, and plan future shipments.
Improved Transparency: The self-service portal provided real-time updates, giving users full visibility into the status of their shipments, reducing the need for manual communication.
