Scaled a B2C MVP into a self-service platform
with 75% feature adoption

How do you turn a fragile MVP into a scalable self-service platform that 30K+ people rely on daily? At Eni Plenitude, I led the redesign of their B2C customer portal — reducing support calls, improving adoption of self-service tools, and transforming a basic MVP into a strategic business enabler.

Impact

  • 21% fewer billing-related support calls.

  • 75% adoption rate for IBAN self-service editing.

  • NPS improved from 66 → 82% in targeted surveys.

Challenge

The existing portal had critical usability issues that eroded customer trust and overloaded call centers:

  • Basic tasks required support calls (meter readings, updating payment info).

  • Billing information was confusing, fueling disputes and customer frustration.

  • Platform instability caused frequent login errors and abandonment.

The challenge wasn’t just fixing usability — it was aligning business goals (cost reduction, digital adoption, NPS growth) with user expectations, under tight timelines and without an established design process.

I joined as Product Designer in a cross-functional agile squad (PO, Tech Lead, engineers, Customer Care, Marketing, Data). With no design team or process in place, I established a structured, user-centered design approach:

  • Facilitated cross-department workshops to align business goals with user needs.

  • Led user research (interviews, support team insights, benchmarking).

  • Partnered with engineering to ensure feasibility, and with data teams to define measurable KPIs.

  • Acted as the bridge between business strategy and execution, ensuring design was tied to clear outcomes.

My process included:

I led a multi-stream discovery phase combining UX audit, 8 customer interviews, and 5 support agent interviews.

Key insights:

Users struggled with basic tasks. Important flows (e.g., IBAN updates) were buried, leading to frustration and unnecessary calls.

Bills were confusing.
Poor hierarchy and unclear terminology drove frequent disputes.

These insights reframed the problem: the portal wasn’t a support tool — it had to become the primary self-service hub in the customer lifecycle.

Solution

I translated research into targeted design improvements, aligning customer pain points with business priorities:

Impact

Together with PO and the Data team, we defined KPIs for success (invoice comprehension, self-service adoption, onboarding friction, support calls).

Tracking via ContentSquare + call log analysis enabled iteration post-launch.

Results within 2 months:

21 %

billing-related support calls within 2 months post-launch

75%

adoption rate of the self-service feature - IBAN editing

66 → 82 %

user satisfaction (NPS) on targeted user surveys

The redesign didn’t just improve UX — it directly supported Eni’s digital transformation strategy by reducing costs, boosting adoption, and building user trust in digital self-service.
