About the Solutions

This feature is truly a challenge for the design team. The multi-level marketing model is extremely complex in practice, and creating an interface to manage this model on small-screen devices like smartphones has never been done before.

How Might We?

How might we incorporate features that streamline commission management and digital inventory for Kim Anh’s multi-level business model?

Simplify the management of commissions and digital inventory, which are crucial aspects of Kim Anh’s business model. The goal is to develop features that make these processes more efficient and less cumbersome, catering to the complexities of a multi-level marketing structure.

How might we develop a solution that provides clear and actionable insights into sales performance and inventory status, making it easier for Kim Anh to motivate her team and drive sales growth?

Creating a solution that offers Kim Anh clear insights into her team's sales performance and inventory status. The aim is to provide her with the data she needs to make informed decisions, motivate her team, and strategically drive sales growth.

How might we integrate automated reminders and notifications to help Kim Anh stay on top of key tasks and ensure her team’s productivity?

The app includes a list of instructional videos for daily activities, each linked to specific aspects of child development.

These videos will also recommend related experts and serve as affiliate marketing channels for DayCon.

How might we design a mobile-friendly interface that simplifies the management of sales, revenue, and inventory for Kim Anh?

Incorporating features that send automated reminders and notifications to Kim Anh. These reminders would help her manage key tasks and keep track of important deadlines, ensuring that she can maintain productivity and effectively manage her team.

How might we create intuitive tools that allow Kim Anh to easily track and manage her team’s performance without requiring advanced computer skills?

Developing tools that are straightforward and user-friendly for Kim Anh, who has limited computer skills. The focus is on ensuring that these tools are easy to use and understand, allowing her to efficiently track and manage her team's performance.

Takeaways

Feedbacks

For users like Kim Anh, managing complex multi-level marketing tasks through a mobile interface can be overwhelming. While it might seem simple to add a few more features or reduce steps in the process, the real challenge lies in addressing the specific needs of users who are less tech-savvy and rely heavily on their smartphones. By simplifying key functions such as sales tracking and inventory management, and integrating features like reminders, we can significantly improve their experience.

Designing with empathy for the user’s context—where efficiency is crucial and the complexity of their tasks is high—allows us to create solutions that are both effective and user-friendly. This approach not only improves usability but also ensures that the solution balances functionality with ease of use, considering both user needs and resource constraints.
