The Problem: Drowning in Paperwork
Muzukuru’s partnership with Old Mutual Funeral Services was a massive win, but the operational execution was stuck in the past. The team was tracking stream allocations on physical paper.
At the end of every stream, we had to spend hours manually exporting data and designing PDF reports in Canva to send to Old Mutual stakeholders. It was unscalable, prone to human error, and meant the client was always looking at historical data rather than real-time insights.
The Solution: A Centralized B2B Hub
We crafted a fully customizable plug & play system—a dedicated B2B tenant dashboard built on top of the existing Muzukuru Memorial Management System (MMS).
It serves as a centralized self-service hub for Old Mutual to manage bookings, view live streams, and auto-generate analytics without requiring constant manual intervention from our team.
Experience Audit
I mapped out the flow to identify where the highest friction occurred between both parties. The research revealed three core bottlenecks:
Quota Anxiety
Administrators never knew exactly how much they used, leading to hesitation in offering streams to grieving families.
Logistics Black Hole
On days of streams, there were constant calls to ask, 'Has the camera crew arrived yet?'
Data Lag
Viewer engagement data in the backend was unable to provide immediate value for their own use.
UX Decisions & Execution
By making the most critical elements visible on page one, users could cross-reference data seamlessly without navigating through complex menus.
Curing Quota Anxiety
We solved the uncertainty around priority limits. Both parties wanted an easy way to check usage for specific months, alongside previous performance trends.
Feature DetailEliminating Phone Calls via AI
To prevent draining resources bridging field workers ('Pixel Pilots') and office staff, I drew inspiration from ride-share apps to create a live status tracker (Setup, Shooting, Wrapping).
Automating the Workflow
We created a digital interface for metrics, including a platform breakdown (Website, YouTube, Facebook) and geographic viewer data.
