The challenge
As Vodafone NZ (DX) separates from the global brand, a new strategy emerges: consolidating multiple legacy tech stacks into a single digital system. Simplifying setup, payments, and account management, while centralising customer data.

To address this opportunity, we adopted a customer-centric approach to actively involve customers in the process. By capturing their information, Vodafones aims to gain a comprehensive understanding of their customers to enhance targeted marketing strategies for more effective outcomes.

DX Transition
The purpose of transition is to migrate our existing customers from an old ‘fragmented’ world to a new ‘unified’ and ‘radically simple’ world. What does this mean? It means migrating customers from all existing tech stacks and unifying them into a single database where we can manage all of our customers in one place.

As the product design lead, my role was to deeply understand the users who currently sit across the three tech stacks and ideate an intuitive and low friction experience that caters to all by identifying their situation and providing a solution that improves on their existing plan.
How might we...
Clear value – show how DX makes lives easier and leaves more money in customers' wallets
Simplify – nudge customers towards choices that lead to zero-effort use, pay, manage and get help
Make the billing and usage model clear – explain Vodafone’s new ways of buying and using Telco services

The journey
The journey itself needed to cater to many different customer types and different plan structures. Single mobile was the most straight forward as they could be dealt with by simply directly offering a new plan that was better than their current. The problem we needed to solve for was customers with multiple plans, outstanding phone payments and converged mobile and broadband.

The solution
We aspire to create an exceptional digital journey that is straightforward, substantiated, and highly valuable for all our customers. The envisioned product will cater to diverse customer types and plan structures, minimising the need for extensive interactions while providing complete transparency...

Creating experiences that customers won’t shut up about.
