Access anytime. Anywhere.

Wealthscape is a mobile app from Fidelity Institutional that is designed to help Brokers/Advisors manage and grow their business and service their clients. They approached DEPT to redesign their app.

During this 5-month engagement, I helped define the mobile strategy of a once struggling legacy app to generate excitement to secure resources for its redevelopment. I worked closely with PMs, Fidelity’s Investor app mobile designer and Engineers to lead the design and strategy for the app.

The Challenges

1

Lack of On-The-Go Access

Not able to access data easily when away from the office.
2

Attracting Nextgen Advisors

Need to have a more modern platform that can be accessed from anywhere.

Low Ratings

The current app has an average rating of 2 stars in the App Store and Google Play.

User Research

To gain more insights on what users of Wealthscape want, I led 8 user interview sessions with Customer Service Managers.
