NoQ Store
Redefining Retail Through Seamless Experiences
Research & Analysis, Information Architecture, UX/UI Design
NoQStore, a 24x7 digitized UnManned Convenience Store for groceries and FMCG products, sought to revolutionize retail with a self-service, human-free shopping experience.
The Challenge
NoQ’s vision was bold—but the existing mobile experience fell short. Customers faced issues like:
- Confusing onboarding and store entry
- Cluttered interfaces and unclear product navigation
- A multi-step checkout flow that led to cart abandonment
The app needed more than a visual refresh. It required a complete UX overhaul, aligned with the physical store design and user behavior.
Our Solution
We needed to design not just for screens—but for real people in real stores with real expectations.

- Ran stakeholder interviews to understand business goals, audience, and pain points
- Performed UX analysis of typical unmanned store journeys
- Mapping the Experience:

- Identified drop-off points and moments of friction
- Design & Prototyping:

- Sketched multiple layouts for key screens: product view, cart, payments
