Challenges

The client turned to ORIL with several goals, including:

  • Create smooth auction performance that supports multiple simultaneous bidding operations
  • Build secure and scalable infrastructure
  • Visually appealing and engaging design that is light and very user-friendly
  • Intuitive and user-centered design. Since the idea of an auction-based marketplace is pretty innovative, the client wanted the design to showcase ingenuity on the one hand and be very intuitive on the other hand.
  • A set of features that maintain and increase the user engagement throughout application use

UX Process

This process includes some of the following activities: competitive analysis, business-product objective prioritization, user flow creation, wireframing and prototyping.

ORIL’s design team worked closely with the customer and end users on choosing the right color palette, UI approach and overall look and feel of the product. The final UI design deliverables made a very complex and feature-rich product feel very light, friendly and accessible, while at the same time kept all of the platform functionality available within a few clicks.

Driving innovation through ingenious features

01
Live auction and bidding.
Thousands of sneakerheads can join auctions, buy and make bids to win the limited sneakers effortlessly. The application works through auctions with a countdown timer where people place bids one at a time. A person who bids last when the timer hits zero becomes the winner.
02
In-app giveaways.
Each new user receives reward points once they register. The reward points enable users to participate in sneaker giveaways and win a free pair of shoes.
03
Flip feature.
This functionality allows auction winners to instantly receive a market value payout for their win and a chance to earn even more by reposting their shoes.
04
Multiple payment gateway integrations.
The marketplace app supports numerous payment methods such as PayPal, ApplePay, GooglePay, and credit cards. The payment gateway integration allowed customers to make fast financial transactions in a scalable, flexible, and secure environment.
05
Reward shop.
Each user can claim a reward in the loyalty shop depending on the number of bids spent during an auction. They can use reward points in the app shop to buy merchandise or accessories or take part in giveaways. Thus, the reward system offered a richer experience and better user retention by rewarding users for their participation.
06
Referral program.
As an additional bonus, when users share the application with friends, they give and receive free bids. By using a unique referral code, customers can refer as many new players as they want.
