Challenge

Hermes (now Evri) users were frustrated by a fragmented account management dashboard with clunky mobile layouts, unclear tracking, and robotic messaging. The redesign aimed to improve usability, reduce support load, humanise the tone, and enable fast, intuitive self-service especially when it comes to mobile.

Research & Discovery

Through remote usability tests, user interviews, and discovery workshops, we uncovered:


  • Users couldn’t easily find tracking or manage preferences


  • Confusing delivery statuses caused doubt and mistrust


  • Mobile layouts were hard to use and gesture unfriendly


  • Tone felt cold and unhelpful, especially during delays

Research & Insights

Working closely with a Graphic Designer and a Creative Strategist, we extracted insights through stakeholder workshops and event analytics:


  • QR codes and emails were the top entry points so speed and visual hierarchy were key


  • Broad messaging underperformed so buyer content was essential


  • Scenario mapping revealed unique priorities: hotels focused on guest experience; offices prioritised convenience and maintenance
