Moto-Prono is a subsidiary of Red Wheels Trading (RWT).
RWT is a key player in customisable delivery bags. Originating from Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, RWT has become the go-to supplier for major companies like Airasia, Grab, Foodpanda, and Shopee. Growing from this success, Moto-Prono was born as a tech-focused venture.
Moto-Prono is a mobile marketplace that brings together mainstream Foods, Products, and Services on a single platform designed for communities. The company has two main goals: bringing local restaurants, merchants, and services closer to people in each community and empowering community members to become entrepreneurs by providing tools and opportunities. As Moto-Prono grows, it aims to strengthen its role as a catalyst for community-focused economic growth.
Moto-Prono currently has a delivery platform available in both web and mobile app formats. However, the platform was created by a third-party company without conducting proper UX research. The primary issues with the platform include incomplete functionality, a lack of user-friendliness, and numerous design issues.
In order to solve the problem, we need to:

Every rider platform has its pros and cons. Grab and Foodpanda are two different platforms that manage their riders differently and meet different needs of the riders. However, the pros of these two platforms can intersect to create a new working environment and culture that improve the overall user experience of the riders.
Secondary Research for Rider Users
Since I have limited access to riders that I can interview due to the current MCO situation, the solution to this issue is to get the insights from the app reviews of our main competitors and to find out what are the needs and pain points that the riders currently have with the platform that they are working for. I will be analysing riders of Grab and Foodpanda only because they are the two main players and they have set a standard in the delivery industry.
After reading so many reviews of the recent dates, the patterns of the problems that riders have are very obvious:
Before starting the redesign, I held meetings with all stakeholders to explore the desired aesthetics and design preferences. Following these discussions, they granted me complete autonomy over the designs, as long as the apps and website look clean and are easy for users. To get ideas, I looked at different inspirations on the internet and created the moodboard below.
I started with the design of the Customer App, as it was the initial focus of the redesign requested by the stakeholders. By comprehensively addressing the Customer App, it served as a foundational UI style guide for creating the designs of the subsequent Vendor and Rider Apps.

The developers requested me to create designs for both the Lite App version and the Web Panel version. They explained that incorporating all features into the vendor mobile app would make it too heavy to operate effectively. As per the developers' request, the following displays the corresponding designs.

I modified the initial mobile design to a web panel design for features that are user-friendly on the web and those that require more system resources to function effectively. The corresponding designs are displayed below:
For improved safety during rides, the Rider App incorporates both light and dark modes, tailored to assist riders making deliveries at various times of the day.

As Moto-Prono's website serves the sole purpose of marketing and providing information, it doesn't necessitate complex backend programs. To enable developers to fully concentrate on the app development, I proactively undertook the website development using Webflow, a website builder platform. I chose Webflow over other platforms primarily for its flexibility in crafting and customizing interactions and animations.

Based on the user interview responses regarding the brand logo, it was deemed either outdated or not reflective of the brand and its business. Consequently, I took the initiative to request a change in the brand logo design. Fortunately, the CEO responded positively; however, the decision was made to retain the original logo for the time being. This choice was influenced by the logo's existing exposure in certain areas and the fact that many delivery equipment items had already been printed with the original logo. To avoid confusing users and utilizing existing resources, Moto-Prono's brand logo will remain unchanged until all delivery equipment is sold out, and all three business categories (Foods, Products, Services) are fully operational. Despite this, I have presented an example of the potential future logo design and provided an explanation of how the new design can effectively communicate Moto-Prono's brand and business:

Moto-Prono is currently on hold due to the inability to secure sufficient investments for supporting operational costs and app development. While it is disheartening not to see the apps go online, this experience has been a tremendous learning opportunity for me. As the sole designer, I had the opportunity to take a leadership role in making all design decisions and overseeing the entire app and web development process. This has further honed my skills in effective communication with stakeholders and in gaining a deep understanding of the app development processes.
The most notable challenge at Moto-Prono was the need to compress the timeline for the entire design process. Conducting UX research from scratch in a tight timeframe was particularly demanding, especially given the absence of prior research. The decision to shorten the design process timeline was primarily driven by the poor initial development of the apps by a third-party company, leading to multiple delays in the projected app operation time.
Another challenge I encountered was the absence of the opportunity to collaborate with a senior designer. Although working independently was fulfilling, I had hoped for the chance to learn new tips and tricks from a more experienced colleague. Despite these challenges, I am grateful for the valuable learning experiences they provided, recognizing that each challenge is an opportunity for personal and professional growth. As I continue to build my career, I eagerly anticipate facing and overcoming more challenges in the future.
