🌱 Introduction

The purpose of the project was to integrate Fluidra Rewards into the Fluidra Pro platform. This integration aimed to consolidate various loyalty programs under a single, comprehensive platform, providing users with a streamlined and enhanced experience.

By moving to Fluidra Pro, the company sought to offer tailored rewards and incentives, supporting business growth and improving customer engagement.

❓What is Fluidra Rewards?

Fluidra Rewards was a loyalty program designed to reward dealers and pool professionals for their purchases and engagement with Fluidra's products.

  1. Earn points on qualifying purchases.

  2. Redeem points for merchandise, travel, and product discounts.

  3. Supports business growth and enhances customer experience with tailored rewards and incentives.

👀 The Problem

  1. The Fluidra Rewards website operates independently from the Fluidra Pro platform.

  2. This separation creates inefficiencies for users who need to manage their rewards and purchases across different systems.

  3. Additionally, the disconnected platforms limit the ability to provide a seamless and cohesive user experience, which can lead to user frustration and lower engagement rates.

“Fluidra wanted to transition its loyalty programs to the Fluidra Pro platform and deprecate the Fluidra Rewards website.”

⚽️ The Goal

  1. Integrate a loyalty program seamlessly into the existing Fluidra Pro platform.

  2. Develop a new design system in line with the rebranding efforts.

  3. Update the onboarding screens and integrate MFA to enhance the user onboarding experience and security.

🧪 Designing by Asking Users, Iterating by Listening

In contrast to formal usability testing, which follows predefined tasks and metrics, I embraced a more natural and casual approach by implementing guerilla usability testing.

This choice offered me an effective way to gather feedback, one that's flexible, approachable, and adaptable to our circumstances.

The message mentions the inconvenience of missing credentials and spending more time on administrative tasks instead of focusing on business.
A quote from Bob, a builder and dealer, discussing rewards points and transaction histories, highlighting the importance of accurate reward and transaction data for system trust.

👩🏼‍🎨 Design System

Collaborated with the marketing and branding teams to develop a new design system that reflects Fluidra's rebranded identity.

🧩 The Solution

To address the needs of Fluidra Rewards, I initiated the design process for web, mobile, and app platforms simultaneously.

Given the data-heavy nature of Fluidra Rewards, thorough research led us to implement widgets on the dashboard. This approach provided users with easy access to essential information without overwhelming them with extensive data.

🖥️ Web Design

A website dashboard with various sections and widgets. The top navigation bar is distinct and at the top of the page. Below, there are segments with key information, rewards, perks, and content sections like 'ION Pool Care' and 'My News'. There are carousel controls in some sections for browsing content, and clear call-to-action buttons and links for more information. The layout is structured to enhance user experience with modular, interactive elements.

📱 App Design

🤝 Design - Developer Handoff

To ensure a smooth design-developer handoff, I created a high-fidelity user flow that detailed interactions on each screen. This helped developers understand the interactions and establish acceptance criteria for testing.

Below is a detailed high-fidelity user flow for the onboarding and two-factor authentication screens.

💫Uncovering usability issues

To evaluate the usability and effectiveness of the newly integrated loyalty program and the updated onboarding screens, we performed Guerilla and Unmoderated Remote usability testing methods.

☀️ Reflecting on the Project

The integration of Fluidra Rewards into the Fluidra Pro platform successfully addressed user pain points and achieved the project’s objectives. By providing a seamless, efficient, and personalized experience, Fluidra not only enhanced user satisfaction and engagement but also streamlined its operations, positioning itself as a leader in customer loyalty within the pool and wellness industry.

While the project was ultimately successful, it was a challenging journey.

  • One of the biggest hurdles was when the marketing team decided to rebrand Fluidra Pro just two months before launch.

  • We were deep into the testing phase and had to quickly iterate designs to match new look and feel.

  • This required rapid adjustments to ensure the rebranded look aligned with the user experience.

  • Balancing the new brand identity with platform functionality was complex.

Despite the tight timeline, we successfully launched Fluidra Pro on schedule.

This experience not only tested my adaptability and problem-solving skills but also highlighted the importance of collaboration and flexibility in UX design.
