Project Overview
Ryobi engaged Tortoise & Hare to conduct a user experience audit on the current product purchase and registration experience, including in-store purchases, product unboxing, the analogue to digital experience and the My Ryobi portal itself.
When a customer purchases a new Ryobi tool, the My Ryobi website allows customers to gain instant and ongoing product value as they build their toolbox. To access the My Ryobi platform, customers first need to register their tool.
The output of this audit informed an innovative and realistic business case, with supporting prototypes, for Ryobi to improve the end-to-end customer experience across their channels.
Customer Objective
To mitigate friction and drive engagement across sign-up, registration and managing of products.
Business Objective
Increase product registration and customer engagement on the My Ryobi platform to better understand the needs and behaviours of the customers.

Approach
This project consisted of two primary phases: Discovery and Design.
Discovery
The project commenced with a comprehensive examination of the existing My Ryobi customer experience. This involved identifying customer pain points based on insights gathered from customers, competitor analysis, and a mystery shopping exercise. The entire customer journey, from purchasing a new tool to interacting with the My Ryobi website, was meticulously mapped out. Additionally, stakeholder interviews were conducted to gain insights into both the current state and the future goals of the My Ryobi experience.
Design
The insights gathered during the discovery phase and the collaborative sessions with the client served as the foundation for creating an exceptional future state design and prototype. This, in turn, supported the business case for an upcoming development project. Recognizing that achieving the 'ideal state' would take time, we also recommended implementing several minor improvements to enhance the current experience temporarily.
Results
The results of this audit played a pivotal role in pinpointing the primary areas where the Product and My Ryobi experience needed to enhance the customer experience on the My Ryobi website.
We provided quick win and hygiene improvements to enhance the current experience as a short-term solution, while also developing a comprehensive UX design and prototype to support the business case for achieving the ideal state. This endeavour aimed to position Ryobi as a company that was revolutionising the product registration experience.
By employing interactive, user-friendly, mobile-first design principles and incorporating cutting-edge technologies, we not only streamlined the My Ryobi customer experience but also made it engaging and seamless for customers after their purchase.
