A case study
One of our clients, is a big e-commerce
platform. The market is very competitive and
they are slowly losing market share. They want
to improve three business outcomes:

1. Increase revenue
2. Increase market share
3. Increase customer satisfaction

2
We start with the problem or
opportunity

© 007 model

3
The problems

“Our customers are not buying enough of our products, causing
us to lose revenue and market share”
“Customers say our website is difficult to use, and hard to find
what they want”

© 007 model

We need to understand
more

5
Gather data
We gather information from customer
service, speaking to the users of the website,
and review the website analytics.
45% leave at
checkout-shipping
29% leave at checkoutpayment

Analysis – page load
`
> 7 seconds page load =
bounce rates of 85%

15% leave at
checkoutconfirmation

Analysis - users

11% proceed
to checkoutcomplete

“Site too slow”
“Can’t pay”
“Confusing”

11% total

6
Discover – what we find out
Only 11% of people who start the
checkout process actually buy
something.

85% of users abandon checkout when it
takes more than 7 seconds to load.

Customers call customer service as checkout
is confusing and products are hard to find.
