In 2012, tapping a button to Uber across the city felt magical. By the start of 2016, this magic receded to a slew of disparate features that made the experience slow and complex to use.

the problem

How might we elevate our platform to stand out in the market and secure more deals?

XYZ Corp's e-commerce platform was experiencing a 65% cart abandonment rate, translating to an estimated $2M annual revenue loss.


Analysis revealed that 70% of abandonments occurred during the checkout process, with users citing a 'complicated and time-consuming' experience.


The problem disproportionately affected mobile users (80% of our traffic) and was particularly acute for first-time customers.

Solving this issue was projected to increase revenue by 30% and improve customer retention by 25%.
