Competitor Analysis

Competitor Analysis

With a tight deadline, we decided to do a quick competitor analysis focused on the new visual implementation and the main merchant features, such as disbursement, bookkeeping, and report.


For visual implementation, we want the visual direction to be bold and minimalistic– aside from implementing the blue which represents trust and loyalty, we want the interface to be intuitive and simple to navigate.

Merchant Homepage

Merchant Homepage

Both Livin and BCA Merchant has an intuitive homepage and highlights today’s income balance. But unlike BCA, Livin doesn’t visualize insight on the shop’s best sales day, but instead prioritizes quick actions to most frequently used menu, such as order lists, cashier feature, and reports.

For QRIS feature, Livin Merchant highlights this better as it has a wide tap area and highlighted by the contrast button color. This ensures the main goal for merchant to do transactions will be easily achieved.

Intuitive Navigation

BCA wins by simplicity, but Livin is advantageous in terms of intuitiveness. The floating menu button list and quick menus allows merchants to access other features without too many steps.

Inventory Management

BCA’s shop and transaction report is merged into one if merchants have more than one shop, whereas Livin’s report will be shown according to the selected shop. This ensures that merchants can have a bird’s eye view for all shop’s transactions.

For inventory management, Livin has chunked the process into step-by-steps, since the merchants can add products and variants.

We needed to phase the project into two phases, but due to unfortunate client circumstances, I was not able to see the project until the end. However I’m glad I was entrusted with this big project which made me learn managing between two finance products in one sitting. Some key learnings:

Managing Stakeholders’ Expectation From the Start

Managing Stakeholders’ Expectation From the Start

Managing Stakeholders’ Expectation From the Start

With a large number of stakeholders involved, it often felt like every opinion needed to be accommodated, which led to frequent changes in scope and a lack of clear direction. Looking back, I realized that setting clearer boundaries early on and limiting key communicators to a smaller, more focused group would have helped streamline decision-making and protect the project from unnecessary detours. This experience taught me the value of defining roles, expectations, and communication structures up front to keep the project on track.

Importance of Prototype

Importance of Prototype

We initially built a high-functioning prototype using ProtoPie to demonstrate complex interactions. While it was impressive, the constant and heavy iterations made it difficult to keep up with the pace of changes. Maintaining such a detailed prototype became time-consuming and unsustainable. If I could go back, I would opt for a more flexible and faster-to-update tool like Figma, which would have allowed us to iterate more efficiently without compromising momentum.
