How Can Dunzo Improve Post Purchase Customer Experience?
Metrics
Reduce the Number of Users who are facing Issues with Order due to poor fulfilment
Approach
Given that Users On Dunzo when faced with the Fulfilment issues has to reach out customer support and do multiple followups for resolving their query, I am proposing a proactive solution to enhance the quality of fulfilment.
  • Dunzo is a hyperlocal delivery Service and helps user to pickup things from any store in your city.
  • Dunzo has onboarded many suppliers on the platform and lets them list products in the various categories and Quality and fulfilment is owned by Supply partners.
  • Dunzo does not help in any way to understand the user about the quality of the products and seller's fulfilment capability and in case fulfilment goes wrong user has to suffer both in time for resolving issues and also at times issue does not get resolved and CS stops responding to them with resolution.
  • Most Users are either completely stop the purchase from the platform or restrict their purchase category and amount , leading to churn and low ABS(Average Buyer Spent).
Approach
  • This also one of the top reasons being highlighted in various online forums and Appstore by users to stop their purchase through dunzo.
  • To Promote Sellers for good quality selection and service and to help buyers avoid poor purchase experience , It's important to highlight in a way that people can figure out the right suppliers on the platform based on the past behaviour of the supplier's on the platform .
  • Users are very much exposed from other platforms to weed out the poor quality selection through user generated ratings and feedbacks which helps as people trust the views of people who are similar to them.
Recommendations
Building Ratings and Feedbacks for the Suppliers from Users.
  • Users will be able to rate& provide feedback for  the suppliers after delivery
  • Average rating of the supplier will be highlighted along with the profile name.
  • Users will be able to also see feedback and associated keywords from feedback.
Recommendations
Building Ratings and Feedbacks for the Suppliers from Users
  • Users Will be able to filter out the suppliers based on their ratings.
  • Suppliers with constant poor ratings could be restricted in visibility and priority in the search
  • Suppliers will have a strong motivation based on the score to serve customers in the best possible way.

Approach
User Journey through the Lens of Customer
  • Search Bar is also covering the key word search for regional language which is easing the discovery of products
  • Filter option is very detailed from the size to base product covering lot of detailed information about the product and making it easier for user to filter out before hand and reducing the to and fro movement from one product option to other product option
  • The List tab is containing the all past purchases of the user from prior transactions, This is very helpful feature for repeat customers,Given the products are for regular use and users will keep repeating same products for the orders on Weekly and monthly basis, this will help them to quickly add products to their basket and get a quick checkout, More like a behavior of repeat order in restaurants:)
  • Upselling at the checkout Page.
Recommendations
Driving conversion by Highlighting Value Prop
  • Value prop is missing on the homepage ,Since the buyers are supposed to have the high skus and Weekly and Monthly regular purchase , Value prop right at top would be helpful to answer what to expect
Upselling & Cross Selling
  • User Should be nudged for the upselling and cross selling at the time of address selection and making checkout
Recommendations
Reduce the Cognitive load of the user In Search
  • Tags like most popular, top selling can be put against products to reduce the cognitive load of user for selection of right product
