Calculating the right amount of flooring for your home
Calculating the right amount of flooring for your home
Client: Kingfisher Digital / Widget
Challenge
Kingfisher own B&Q a chain of diy stores across the UK. Their data analytics on the diy.com website showed there was a high repeat purchase of single laminate wood flooring packs. The assumption was people were miscalculating how much flooring they needed for their room. How could Kingfisher help people calculate the right amount of flooring for their home with the goal of reducing repeat purchases?
Approach
Kingfisher created a simple mini widget that sat below the 'buy' button to help people calculate the amount of flooring they needed. Customers simply input the dimensions of their room and the widget would calculate the right amount of packs, including a little extra for 'wastage' a common oversight with customers.
What I did
With a prototype already made my role was to develop it further into a shippable MVP. I refined the core idea, offering a simpler user journey and validated our hypothesis through testing. I worked in tight collaborated with my design lead throughout.
