Goals
Education
The customer will learn which products are offered directly correlating to region and climate.
Leads
A qualified lead is gathered with key sales information of exactly which product is needed.
The app should be based on visuals and simple layouts to gamify and not overwhelm the user. We will include a progress bar to not intimate the user and provide a visual end goal to their user journey.

Gamification
The home screen features a scratch-off type game to lure users into discovering facts. After all of the numbers are revealed it is programmed to progress to the next slide that features a simple explanation of Aprilaire.
Geography & Filtering
The apps key feature revolves in it having a customized experience based on region. One of the first things is to choose which area the customer is going to utilize the product. Instead of a dropdown and text-based selection, I chose to have a visual map. Once an area is clicked it changes to show that region.


Geographical Plotting
The backend consists of an excel database linked to specific products. All products are live in the background. As the user progresses through the initial forms the database is reordered and hides products that would not be applicable to their geographic region. This narrows down the choices and provides a cleaner and easier product exploration page
Products & Cart
Now that the customer has gone through the process of selecting their environment the customized product page is shown. You can view more details once you tap the product of your choosing.


Product Selection
Adding the products to your cart will add them into a database while browsing. After the user fills in their email information it links their contact to the items they are interested in. Upon completion, it brings them to a more detailed page explaining Aprilaire.
Data & ROI
The database is connected to an online API emailer that will send an email to the client with the potential customer's name and products chosen. A sales representative can reach out to the customer and walk through the products, what they offer and how they can benefit their house or construction project.
