TOYOTA LOGISTICS DESIGN COMPETITON 2022

The objective of this project was to design a service system for Toyota that fulfills all of the requirements of the competition while still aligning with Toyota brand identity and values.

 

Competition requirements:

  • Shorten supply chain

  • Improve expidecy

  • Reduce city congestion

  • Combat pollution

OBJECTIVE

Our goals were:

  1. Make a delivery system that could stay off main roads, reducing pollution and congestion

  2. Give customers more control and transparency about their package whereabouts and delivery time

  3. Give the customer peace of mind by allowing for a more secure "real time" delivery experience through the use of the app

MY ROLE

Designing the the app that would be used with the delivery system.

THE PROBLEM

A WORLD OF CONGESTION and lost packages

In our research we found that in the next 10 years:

CO2 Emissions

Delivery vehicles on roads

Congestion in dense urban areas

Poor customer service is also common with delivery systems.

Packages are usually delivered at random times and left on the doorstep which leads to lost or stolen packages.

PROPOSED SOLUTION

Order is placed with affliated Toyota Green Initiative Retailer on app

Retail store packages the items inside designated storage compartment

Pre packaged item is sent to Toyota distribution center

User can track their package in real time on the app

Recipient sets delivery time and location on app

Customer is notified when the package arrives at distribution center

Vehicle arrives at home and recipient securely retrieves item

USER RESEARCH

INTERVIEWING ONLINE SHOPPERS

We interviewed a few people who online shop regularly to find out the process that people go through and if there are any pain points, so we know which issues to focus extra attention on when designing our last mile delivery service.

"  The worst part about ordering stuff online is the waiting game. You never know when it's actually gonna arrive. "

" I've had packages stolen from my front porch twice, which was very annoying. Sometimes I just go to one of those Amazon pickup locations. "

" Honestly sometimes I want the package delivered when my mom's not home but I am, since I still live at home. But they rarely deliver on time, so it's risky. "

USER RESEARCH

TESTING EXISTING DELIVERY APPS

We tested the existing Grub hub and Uber Eats apps with 7 participants in the Houston area as well as look at online reviews. Our goals were to understand the challenges that people faced when tracking their order or driver on the app, and the general flow of information on the UI.

INSIGHTS FROM THE FIELD

Grub Hub 

- Order delivery times are often extended without notification.

Uber Eats

- Some people were confused on the difference between Home tab and Browse tab (too many tabs)

- Frustrating that you can't see the whole price of delivery until you're done with the order (lack of transparency).

To summarize : Lack of communication with customer and cluttered UI were the leading causes of frustration with the apps.
