Results

After the release, besides our core product HYS, we managed to bring customers of our other products into the mobile app:

  • 100 qat sığorta
  • Kredit Sığortası
  • İcbari Həyat Sığortası
  • Fərdi Həyat Sığortası
  • Korporativ Həyat Sığortası
  • İpoteka Sığortası
01

Problem & Goal

From a single-product limit to a multi-product ecosystem

Current state

The previous app architecture focused on a single product — Life Insurance (HYS) contracts. Despite the company's rich insurance portfolio, customers could not see any other products inside the app.

Strategic goal

Take the app beyond its limited scope and turn it into a fully functional multi-product platform, giving users the ability to manage all their insurance products in one place.

Approach

After extensive brainstorming and team discussions, we decided not to settle for cosmetic changes. Instead, we re-designed the app's UX architecture from scratch with a large-scale redesign.

The previous app — built around a single HYS contract.

User Voices

"I'm a customer — so why is my contract not here?"

Who

Customers who held any product other than HYS — credit, mortgage, corporate or mandatory life insurance.

Problem

They had no access to the mobile app and could not see the details of their own contract. To check a term or a status, the only way was to call the call center.

Kredit Sığortası

When I took out the loan I got insured too. I downloaded the app, but my contract isn't there. To know how long it's valid, I have to call every single time.

No access to the app

Korporativ Həyat Sığortası

My employer insured us, but I don't know what coverage I have. I open the app — it's empty. As if I'm not a customer.

Benchmark

Analysis of global practice

Research

Before designing our own solutions, I analyzed the global market leaders that manage multi-product structures.

Focus

By studying how fintech giants like Revolut simplify complex ecosystems, we identified the most effective UX patterns.

Outcome

We adapted global standards to our internal business requirements and shaped a comfortable, scalable architecture model.

04

Wireframes

Testing ideas with two wireframe concepts

Approach

To test ideas, I designed 2 different wireframe concepts.

Comparison

I analyzed the UX advantages and risks of each option separately.

Details

To make discussion with the team easier, I placed all notes directly on top of the screens.

Decision

We chose Concept 02. Contracts scroll horizontally, with the operations and contract information placed right below them.

Why: familiarity

This approach was more familiar to our customers. They had been using the app for 2 years, and a user experience had already formed around it.

Why: low risk

It was a risk-free choice for our high NPS scores — we could grow the app without breaking what users already liked.

Why: architecture

Architecturally, everything was right — the structure scales naturally to more products.

Wireframe concept 1: home screen with product list and product detail screens

Wireframe concept 2: home screen with contract filters, all-contracts list and product detail

Final Visual Concept

A modern, scalable visual language

Execution

Based on the tested wireframes, I completed the new visual concept of the app.

Solution

We built a scalable design system with a modern aesthetic and a clear visual hierarchy.

Final visual concept: the redesigned home screen with an active contract card and a frozen contract card

Final home screen — active and frozen contract states.

Design System

One system for every product, in light and dark

Primitives

The foundation is 80 color primitives — 8 palettes with 10 steps each. Nothing in the interface uses a raw color.

Tokens

On top sit 24 semantic tokens — surface, label, divider, status, indicator, info. Each one has a Light and a Dark value, so switching the theme just re-maps tokens to different primitives.

Products

Every product state — active, frozen, ended, cancelled, pending — has its own status token, and product accents such as the HYS violet live in their own tokens.

Product Differentiation

First challenge: telling products apart at a glance

Problem

A single card design was not enough to represent products with such different parameters.

UX solution

I built a visual system that identifies products by color — while scrolling, users instinctively understand which product contract they are looking at.

Card system — one color per product

In motion — scrolling between products

08

Horizontal Scroll Fatigue

Second challenge: removing horizontal scroll fatigue

Problem

For users with many contracts, horizontal scrolling meant lost time and user fatigue.

UX solution

By introducing the "View all" feature, we shortened the navigation distance — users now reach any contract in just 2 clicks.

"View all" — every contract grouped by product, two taps away.

09

Usability Testing

Putting our assumptions in front of real users

Hypothesis

All of our UX solutions were assumptions that had to be tested in front of users.

Test

We organized in-person usability tests with real customers.

Stop condition

We kept testing until 5 users completed the test successfully.

Iterations

At this stage we often had to rework the interface — fix, retest with new users, and repeat.

Result

Based on the qualitative feedback we collected, we fixed the inconsistencies in the interface.

In-person test sheets — questionnaire, tasks and handwritten feedback.

What's Next

The app doesn't stand still

Growth

New features and new products are added to the app all the time.

Architecture

Thanks to the well-thought-out architecture, we can introduce any new product with ease — it simply becomes a new contract card and a new entry in the product catalog.

Latest product

The most recently added product is GüclüSən — it already lives on the home screen and sits at the top of the catalog, marked as new.

Business Impact

Validated by the metrics

Data validation

The new UX solutions fully proved themselves in real analytics.

Metric

We see a steady and consistent growth in the number of active users (MAU/DAU).

Outcome

The new architecture made it easier for users to discover and use other insurance products.
