Hilife Delivery
The direct-to-consumer side: browse by category, order from a nearby stockist, and watch a delivery timer that tells the truth.
The problem
The same products the field force sells into shops also need to reach people directly — for a customer base with a wide spread of device quality, data cost sensitivity and comfort with apps.
What I built
A category-led browse rather than a search-led one, because search assumes you already know the product name. Big product cards, a persistent location selector at the top, and a four-item bottom bar — nothing hidden behind a menu.
A live delivery timer with a real countdown, because the most common support question in this category is “where is it”. Answering it in the product removes the call.
High-contrast text, generous touch targets, and a catalogue that reads from the same source as the sales system, so pricing and availability cannot diverge between the two audiences.

- Browse without knowing product names
- Live timer
- Countdown replaces the “where is it” call
- Shared catalogue
- One source for trade and consumer
- Flutter
