Ditto has roughly more than 1000 customers per week for both term and health insurance across both Web and Mobile. Due to its complex flow and steps throughout the journey, Ditto advisors usually schedule a separate purchase walkthrough call with the customer all the time.

What is the Ditto Purchase journey?

Main Problems

Main Problems

Users struggle with the unstructured purchase flow without clear direction on what they are going through, and a good supporting guide for the important steps. Poor user experience and low discoverability which is leading to a higher drop in users in the journey.

Today’s Purchase journey. Users feel overwhelmed or confused when filling out health insurance forms. There is a lack of clarity in coverage details, member selection, and quote generation steps. Drop-offs are observed on the members’ page

In my research, I discovered that the experience was lacking in many core features that can potentially increase the ease of the purchase journey for both selecting a policy premium and filling proposal form steps.

The top issues revolved around the purchase journey,

Quote journey.

  1. I found that users find it difficult to give their basic information and select the perfect cover amount, add-ons, and policy periods.

  2. Discoverability was not effective, as the users tested did not know the importance of the information they were adding, which has a major impact on the cover amount recommendation and premium pricing.

  3. It also doesn’t have digestible insurance plan details, along with the steps, and while selecting add-ons & policy periods.

Proposal form journey.

  1. This is the most complex steps where the user need to add more personal information and which have major changes of the rejection of the policy.

  2. There is no proper navigation for each proposal step, and clear step guidance for the user.

  3. The user needs to fill out the entire proposal form in a single session without any resume application options.

Based on my research findings, I formed a set of hypotheses focused on simplifying the quote journey for better comprehension. Providing transparent, digestible insurance plan details with proper guidance on important steps in the journey.

The previous version of the journey had few affordances to indicate to the user about the policy they have selected and what details they need to provide during this policy quote journey. Additionally, the metadata was scattered around in a messy layout, which made the experience visually jarring and inconsistent

I have created multiple components to enhance the customer journey by adding,

#1. Supporting message (Semantic colors)- this component helps the user to understand all the states of the information they have added.

#2. Guidance popover message (Blue color) - Which guides the user to understand the need for the information and how it will affect the policy premium.

#3. Recommendation popover message (Green color)- This component is used for recommending the best add-ons and cover for the user

User needs to fill out the entire proposal form in a single session without any resume application options. So this resume anytime option will help user to continue their proposal form without pushing to complete at one time.
