Akojo Brand Approval Platform:The Complete Solution
Tired of slow, manual processes holding back your onboarding? Frustrated with scattered data and endless back-and-forth? We get it. We helped our client develop a plan for a brand approval platform that will enhance their entire onboarding process. Imagine faster onboarding, clear communication between everyone involved, and all the data in one easy-to-access place.
CHALLENGES
Our UK-based client, Akojo, is specialised in vetting and approving artisan brands for multi-brand retailers. They approached us with an idea to enhance their brand onboarding process. Their existing system relied on manual workflows and spreadsheets, meaning slow onboarding times, isolated data, and communication blocks.
SOLUTION
We partnered with Akojo to transform their initial idea into an extensive solution. We joined on a collaborative journey that spanned over two months, defined by:
-
Kick-Off Meetings & Workshops
To perfectly understand the company’s business goals and challenges, we initiated the project with kick-off meetings. Interactive workshops helped with brainstorming sessions, where we explored various solutions and user needs. -
Market Research & Competitive Analysis
To have a better understanding of current brand onboarding solutions and identify potential gaps, our team conducted in-depth market research. And after analysing competitor platforms, we have found valuable insights that helped us tailor the platform to maximise efficiency. -
Iterative Feature Detailing
We meticulously defined the platform’s functionalities through collaborative meetings. With the help of user stories and prioritisation exercises, we ensured the platform could address the company’s core needs while remaining user-friendly for both Akojo and applicant brands.
Key deliverables:
-
Specification Development
We worked with our client to define the platform’s functionalities, user roles, and integrations with existing systems. This detailed specification was basically a blueprint for future development. -
Wireframing
We created interactive wireframes to visually represent the user interface and user flows. This facilitated feedback and ensured the platform was aligned with the company’s vision. -
Solution Proposal & Estimates
We researched and recommended the most suitable technologies to build the platform. This analysis set the stage for a smooth development process by having a clear timeline and budget estimates.
