Trading gold during the pandemic
The era of e-commerce is gradually shifting buyers' habits to online shopping.

Self-managing is no longer suitable because of:
Security risks: Especially when owning large amounts of gold.
Risk of loss: Gold is damaged during self-preservation

Desk Research
Firstly, we did a market analysis, price volatility of gold, and competitor analysis to find out the current situation.
Then we collected data from gold investment groups on SNS to come up with hypothetical solutions.
Interviews
At the stage when applying UCD, we interviewed 10 users and also some non-users who belong to the target audience with the purpose of:
Reconfirming the original assumptions
Improving product solutions
Surveys
We pay close attention to product feedback on social media, via our hotline, and from our periodic surveys.
Through quantification, we choose the order of the problem to be solved according to the Effort-Impact matrix.
