What made the

stakeholders hire my services?

PAYPER's stakeholders aimed to enable mobile users to upload expenses easily. They even developed an MVP mobile app version.


However, they noticed that the mobile retention rate had dropped by one-half despite the availability of a simple mobile solution.

We began user research using Microsoft Clarity to observe the behavior of 20 users at various points during their workday for one week.

We found that

most users prefer uploading their expenses using the desktop version, even though the mobile version is easier and faster

simply because the desktop version provides a single platform for uploading and reviewing their expenses.

Main Persona

Goal

Streamline administrative tasks to focus more on sales and customer service.

Pain Point

Uploading expenses using the mobile app and reviewing them on the desktop creates an inefficient workflow.

Need

Ideally, one platform should be used for uploading and reviewing business expenses.
