Problem

During the research phase of building the intranet feature, we also discovered similar issues with B2C communication.

1. Inefficient communicating with their customers
Customers' insights and feedbacks scatter around in popular social platforms. The company hardly gets in touch with their customers. And it’s a high cost to pay for that information

2. Lack of resources and expertise to develop their tools
To build and maintain their social feature requires loads of resources that some companies didn't want to make an investment





Opportunity


How can we use the existing social intranet to solve B2C communication in various industries within limited conditions?






Goal


Build an MVP version of the product that will enable social experience on the client's application. The product has to...

Give flexibility
Reduce information decluttering by 
using partition design which for good customization.
Provide guidance &
Navigation efficiency

Explicit designs that lead to self-explanatory, and require less onboarding efforts.
Simple
Use neutral language that can be applicable to all industries.




Solution


A development kit which allows company to plug-and-play social and community features




The development kit includes two main parts, 

1. Software Development Kit (SDK)
Integrated social features using social APIs that will help foster and maintain in-app engagements and attractions.
2. UIKits
A ready-to-use design kits that allows variety of customizations. Each component provides functionality and navigation of all the SDK features. The design kit was ported over from mobile app and website.
