As parcel delivery gradually becomes Royal Mail’s main business focus, today’s posties couldn’t complete their loops without a PDA (Postal Digital Assistant).

Despite staying active by walking over 15,000 steps each day, exploring the UI of my PDA to identify usability challenges has been an oddly fun way for me, as a postie, to relieve the stress of tackling the never-ending piles of post each day.

Problem

The current suite of apps for The Landmark no longer meets the evolving needs of shoppers, tenants, and concierge teams. Key challenges include:

Outdated User Experience – The design feels outdated and lacks intuitive navigation, impacting engagement and usability.

Fragmented Features – Shoppers, tenants, and concierge teams rely on separate or inconsistent functionalities, leading to inefficiencies.

Limited Personalisation – The apps do not offer tailored recommendations or experiences based on user preferences and behaviours.

Operational Inefficiencies – Concierge and tenant management processes are manual or disjointed, slowing down service delivery.

Scalability Issues – The current infrastructure struggles to support new features, integrations, and a seamless omnichannel experience.

A refresh is needed to modernise the experience, streamline interactions, and enhance efficiency for all users while maintaining the mall’s luxury brand image.

Solution

Prototype

This prototype was developed for the initial pitch of the idea, offering a high level of detail to demonstrate the core concept. While it doesn’t reflect the final styling, which was refined later on, it effectively showcases the overall vision, including the information architecture (IA), user experience, interactions, and technical feasibility. The prototype serves as a blueprint, highlighting how key features can be seamlessly integrated and offering insight into the flow and functionality. It was designed to communicate the potential of the project and lay the groundwork for further iterations and refinements.

UI Mockups

The UI for The Landmark’s apps is designed to deliver a seamless, elegant, and intuitive experience tailored to shoppers, merchants, and concierge and salon lounge teams. With a refined aesthetic and user-friendly navigation, the interfaces enhance engagement, streamline operations, and uphold the mall’s luxury brand identity.
