Leading Software Provider Optimized its Global eCommerce Transaction Funnel
The Company
The software provider engaged with us to design and deploy a usability study gathering user feedback from its target global markets, in multiple languages. A top-10 multinational software provider with a global SaaS eCommerce platform looked to us for help optimizing its eCommerce funnel.
The Challenge
A leading multinational software provider needed to optimize its eCommerce funnel for its suite of general consumer productivity software, in multiple markets. Understanding the nuances of the customer journey and evaluating the effectiveness of an eCommerce transaction funnel is challenging when you have a single product in a single market. But when you have multiple product types sold in many global markets, it can be difficult to optimize the effectiveness of an eCommerce platform for each market.
Knowing this SaaS product sold well in some markets and less so in others, the provider needed to discover potential bottlenecks in the eCommerce purchasing process for each of its products, especially in more culturally nuanced markets. To optimize the product page and transactional funnel for these markets, it was critical to identify areas of confusion and help improve the user experience to increase sales. The provider was under both time and budget constraints to improve eCommerce sales in these key markets.
The Solution
The software provider engaged with us to design and deploy a usability study gathering user feedback from its target global markets, in multiple languages. The study identified areas of confusion, technical issues, usability issues, and general user experience improvements. The study analyzed the full transaction funnel, starting with the search phase, continuing through to product selection, purchase, and installation. Participants from multiple markets provided feedback for every key step and highlighted both common and market-specific deficiencies in the search and purchase experience.
The Result
Working with us allowed the provider to analyze the effectiveness of its eCommerce platform in all of its target markets—on budget and on time. We curated a crowd of the most suitable user experience evaluators in multiple markets and languages from over 50,000 potentially viable worldwide users of the product.
Using our platform as a central point of operations and participant feedback, the provider was able to collect clean, accurate data quickly for both quantitative and qualitative analysis.
After a successful initial market research study for its consumer SaaS product, the software provider returned for an additional study to focus on optimizing the eCommerce funnel for its commercial clientele.
