Delayo: Redefining Online Shopping with Sustainable Delivery

Revolutionizing the Way We Shop Online

Delayo is a widget designed for online shopping apps that offers users the option to choose their preferred day of shipment when purchasing an item. Additionally, it allows users to add extra items to their cart within the next few days before the selected date. On the determined day, all the items are delivered together, reducing shipping costs for buyers and minimizing the number of vehicles needed for shipment. This results in decreased energy consumption and less air pollution.

The unique feature of Delayo lies in its ability to provide a better user experience while ordering goods. By giving users the flexibility to select their preferred day for shipment, it ensures that they only pay for delivery once, regardless of the number of items ordered. This not only saves money for the buyers but also contributes to a cleaner environment.

Implemented as a feature in online shop websites and applications, Delayo enhances both the user experience (UX) and user interface (UI) of the platform. It works seamlessly on both iOS and Android platforms, making it accessible to a wide range of users.

Navid Vahidian and Soroush Vahidian, along with their team members Minoo Vahidian Kamyar, have conducted extensive research to understand user behavior and the challenges faced by frequent online shoppers. They discovered that many people prefer to buy low-cost items from physical markets due to the disproportionate delivery costs associated with such purchases. With Delayo, the designers aim to persuade people to not only buy their regular items from online shops but also purchase low-cost goods, thereby expanding online businesses in this sector.

One of the key challenges faced during the design process was determining the most suitable place for the day of shipment page. After careful consideration, the designers decided to place this page after the payment process, ensuring better management and user experience.

Delayo has already received recognition for its innovative design and sustainable approach. It was awarded the Iron A' Design Award in 2018 in the category of Sustainable Products, Projects, and Green Design. This prestigious award is given to well-designed, practical, and innovative creations that meet professional and industrial requirements. Delayo's integration of industry best practices and competent technical characteristics make it a valuable addition to the world of online shopping.

With Delayo, Navid Vahidian and Soroush Vahidian have revolutionized the way we shop online. By prioritizing sustainability and user experience, they have created a solution that not only reduces costs but also contributes to a cleaner and greener environment. As online shopping continues to grow, Delayo sets a new standard for sustainable delivery in the digital age.
