Solution: The new AMA mobile app features highlights such as the improved call experience for roadside service requests, personalized membership dashboard, geo-location based Reward partner promotions and enhanced road reports. A completely new addition of the Online Community portion within the app is focused connecting members with other Albertans for expert advice.

Defining the Problem

A survey was used mainly to explore what people like or dislike about the current app and gauge which potential new features are most interesting to AMA members
The survey was distributed to 5057 AMA panel members on March 15, 2022 and closed on March 25, 2022
1358 panelists completed the survey (response rate of 27%)

Summary of Findings

Awareness of the AMA app is relatively low at 44%. Almost half of respondents (47%) aware of the app downloaded it more than a year ago. Only 17% downloaded it in the last year.
Most respondents downloaded the app primarily for Roadside Assistance and Road Reports and have used it once or twice (41%) or 3 to 5 times (29%) in the last 12 months.
70% of respondents wanted to be able to manage their membership from the app and 42% wanted to update their information.
There was low interest (11%) in Joining AMA Community Groups from the app.

Process & Prototyping

Card Sorting and Information Architecture
Group discussions and close collaboration with Business Analysts provided structure for the Community Section of the app. The design prototype was built in Adobe XD.

One of the main goals with this view is to provide an actionable way of encouraging people to join groups
The value propositions in the interactive carousel will provide users with information which encourages them to engage further
Can preview groups by seeing top 3 posts, but will need to join the group to view all the posts within the group
Limited access within the groups until they actually join a group

Interactive carousel that showcases the value propositions of our online community: connect with Albertans, expert advice, trusted brand and a positive space
Users are able to navigate to the Groups Tab and see all the groups
Non-members are not able to join any groups, instead they are directed to a screen with general membership information and a call to action to find the right membership for them
Once they are a member, they can unlock the feature to join any group

Guest Access

Guests are unauthenticated users
Restricted view of the Community section of the app
The screen view has call to actions for them to sign up or create an account
Users will become an authenticated user with identity verification through the login or create an account flow
If users are already a member, they can just sign in to access the AMA Community

Roadside Assistance

**• Road Reports:** iconology for the map layer buttons were custom created for brand consistency
• **Flat Tire Assistance:** features a screen with a car illustration and interactive touch points on the tires

Digital Asset Library

Iconology, Illustration and Brand Colours
Digital assets were built for the component library to maintain brand consistency and integrity. The design system was managed in a master design file shared with the entire design team.

AMA App Launch

Two separate landing pages were created to focus on the value that the new AMA app redesign brings. Email and PPC ads directed users to these landing pages—which summarizes Roadside Assistance, Community, Rewards and Membership.
