Problem

Currently, the booking page is challenging to navigate, lacking clear and sufficient information to effectively help our users to accept/deny

a booking request.

The current workflow has several problems:


  1. There's no notification system for landlords about new booking requests.

  2. The Bookings tab leads to a page with a different design and user experience. (leads to more confusion)

  3. The booking overview lacks property titles, making it unclear which listing each booking is for.

  4. The available information isn't helping for landlords to decide on booking requests.

Solution

I reached out to the Zappyrent team for deeper insights and the possibility of working together. However, I ended up tackling the project independently, relying on Zappyrent's documentation and resources to enhance my understanding of their operations, business & product.


Based on my research, assumptions, and product sense, I redesigned the booking workflow to be more efficient for landlords.

Tenant scoring, is something new that I added to solve the trust problem that Landlords have (I did some research on renting in Italy and this trust insight came across a lot).


It's inspired from ZappyRent scoring system, but this one is based on Tenant informations (Listed in the picture below).

Details

About the ZappyRent scoring system :

Zappyrent evaluates potential conductors with a score of 0 to 100 corresponding to their reliability.


I thought that this is very valuable insight so I used it to think about TenantScoring to improve trust and give landlords the flexibility they want.
