Importantly, users can see where their current insurance stands in comparison to other options and assess whether it's worthwhile to switch.

Initial user test

Initial user test

Based on this test, users reported feeling more informed and empowered when interacting with our platform. Additionally, the test highlighted that filters and comparison are more important for the switch season than the matrix.

Improvements for mobile: The amount of content on the Detail page was deemed excessive, and it may be necessary to consider a new layout.

Platform: Rapid user test

Low-hanging fruits workshop

Low-hanging fruits workshop

After conducting a user test, we discovered that users feel overwhelmed by the number of details when using mobile devices. They also mentioned their main desired features: filtering and comparison. To address these issues, we focused on implementing solutions with high impact and low effort, often referred to as "low-hanging fruit".

During a workshop, we established priorities for the upcoming season:

  • Comparison Table

  • Filters

  • Improvements to the visual and usability of the search results page

We decided to postpone the implementation of recommendation functionality until the next iteration, which will take place after the upcoming season.

Action points after the test:

  1. Implement the Feature Filter functionality.

  2. Update the design and implement the Comparison Table feature.

  3. Implement the Brand Filter with an action to select/deselect all.

Germans are actually reading contracts

Germans are actually reading contracts

Cultural differences impact many aspects, including contract practices. In Germany, canceling a contract is almost impossible and it automatically extends after the term. Therefore, it's crucial to carefully track the date if you wish to cancel or switch.

Sasha has an honest, sincere and transparent demeanor. Her workfow is consistent and she keeps every post workshop deck up to date so that all decisions are documented and shared: within the vertical team or within the design team.

Erin Jeavons-Fellow

Former Head of Design at Joonko (FInleap)

I've worked with Sasha together in the same Design Team and the experience has been amazing since the very first beginning. She's always ready to share great ideas and offer help. Sasha is really supportive, which helped me and the team a lot to create a process we like. She is often experimenting and searching for new ways to reach the company's goals. It's such a great feeling to be able to work with someone you and your colleagues trust, and that is the person Sasha is, during and outside working hours.
