Zoop Wallet

Empowering digital identity for everyone

Overview

Context

We began from scratch and had to identify the limitations and challenges that the app could solve in this space. The brief was to identify the core users, their challenges, and then design features that would solve these problems, whilst enabling them to manage and share their critical documents from various sources.

Overview

Product outline

The app would enable students to add, organise and share their documents securely.

As the organisation specialised in identity verification for businesses, we had the technological infrastructure to manage documents and leverage our partnership with the government and other cloud storages to enable document addition from all these sources.

Research

Objectives of research

01

Identify and validate the practical use cases for document management

02

Understand the users’ current consumption and preferences of benefits and documentation

03

Learn about their challenges with the current app and opinions on desirable features

Research

Understanding the users and their needs

We established a student ambassador program through our strategic university partnerships. I then formulated a user interview framework with an outline of the interview process, form of questioning and a specific line of questioning to help understand users' current consumption of products and services, their need for documentation and their expectations of an app like ours. We created a use case map to help us identify and prioritise the most regular instances of document management and identity verification.

Analysis

Research insights

We analysed the data gathered from our research excercises and derived key insights to narrow down the essential problems faced by our target users. With these insights we were able to build user personas to identify user habits, preferences and pain points

01
Document scanning apps were just another alternative to cloud storage

02

Users were generally unaware of identity-related benefits or how to access them

03

ID verification was broken and repetitive for different services

Analysis

User Persona

Based on our interviews and survey responses, we created a few distinct student personas with an outline of their goals, frustrations, habits and potential brands

Competitive Analysis

Before commencing design on the scanning module, we conducted a detailed competitive analysis to identify the prevalent user flow, pros and cons of each and finally define the must-have and good to have features

User Flow

We thoroughly tested and designed multiple flows to create the ideal scenario for users

Design

Product features

With all this research and insight, we finalised an MVP with certain key features that would not only serve the users’ current needs, but also build the foundation for Zoop’s identity ecosystem.

Adding Documents

Users can add documents via scanning, add them via gallery or import them from file managers and cloud storages

Organise Documents

The app will pre-populate certain categories and document names for easier organisation, and keep refining these lists with Machine Learning

Access Benefits

Users can view exclusive benefits upon successful student verification and access them in just 2 steps with a categorised list and detail page

PDF Editing

Users can also split and merge documents for easier bundling, this feature would later evolve into custom lists for use cases like visa or loan applications

Secure Sharing

We implemented the share PIN to ensure the user alone has access to sharing documents with a share log for reference in case of an issue

Student Verification

We also enabled optional student verification process to access exclusive benefits and future services like scholarships and internships

Key Statistics
