BRIEF
Grocerly is a fast-growing grocery delivery platform serving multi-city markets with peak evening and weekend traffic.
Goal: increase conversion and satisfaction by making it easier to find items, understand fees, and complete checkout on the first try.
CHALLENGE
Deep category hierarchies and inconsistent filters made product discovery slow and frustrating on mobile.
Checkout friction: confusing fees, unclear delivery windows, and brittle address/payment steps increased drop-offs.
Inconsistent UI patterns across web/iOS/Android and accessibility gaps leading to avoidable support volume.
Grocerly adopted a research-driven redesign anchored in clarity and speed:
UX RESEARCH & BENCHMARKING
Intercept interviews, task analysis, and funnel telemetry informed hypotheses. Competitive teardown and heuristic reviews prioritized fixes with highest conversion impact.
IA, SEARCH & PERSONALIZATION
Introduced faceted search, auto-suggest, and relevance tuning. “Buy Again” and personalized shelves boosted repeat purchase speed.
CONVERSION-FOCUSED CHECKOUT
Streamlined steps with progress cues; clarified fees, promos, and delivery windows; added inline validation and save-for-later payment/address.
DESIGN SYSTEM & ACCESSIBILITY
Tokenized components (web + native), usage guidelines, and QA checklists. WCAG 2.1 AA remediation across color contrast, roles, labels, and focus order.
Key Results & Impact
The comprehensive strategy delivered exceptional results across all key performance indicators, establishing Vero Diamonds as a leader in the luxury lab-grown diamond market.
Checkout Completion
Clearer steps, validation, and delivery/fee transparency reduced drop-offs.
Add-to-Cart Rate
Faceted search, smart sorting, and personalized shelves sped up discovery.
Task Time Reduction
Fewer steps and better defaults shortened time-to-order on mobile.
App Store Rating
Consistency, accessibility, and clearer flows improved perceived quality.
Clarity Drives Cart Value
By reducing cognitive load and removing friction in discovery and checkout, Grocerly increased conversion and user satisfaction while lowering support burden.
