How we serve their products in Kudo
Restaurants serve their product in categories
Analogy
Serve products using the merchant’s category
Bayar Tagihan
Pulsa
Toserba Menu(a.k.a Bukalapak)
So we….
KudoBox (Mid of 2015)
Bukalapak’s categories in Kudobox
KudoBox (Mid of 2015)
We have specific categories based on each merchants
KudoBox (End of 2015)
This results in a UX problem
It is just like a Restaurant having multiple “Nasi Putih” Products in many different menu
So we unified all Categories
Unified CategoriesWe solve this by mapping categories from all of our merchants to one unified category structure.
Now in each categories, we have products from multiple merchants. Users can browse all similar products from every merchant, from search or by accessing a certain category.
