As one result of the digital transformation in the automotive industry, new digital business models comprising software-based solutions are demanded by OEMs. To adequately meet these new requirements, automotive suppliers implement interdisciplinary roles – called Customer Solution Designers. However, due to the novelty, the Customer Solution Design research field is not yet well developed, neither in theory nor in practice. Besides giving an overview of the current state of the Customer Solution Design research field, the core of this paper is two-fold: Based on the conduction of 14 guided expert interviews with selected experts of a large German automotive supplier, we establish a uniform understanding of the Customer Solution Design role by using the Role Model Canvas (I). In addition, a case study strategy comprising two software-based projects, which are executed by a large German automotive supplier, is used to derive a common approach for Customer Solution Design in the context of an agile business framework (II).
In an experience economy market competition in software branches is becoming more and more intense. Technical innovations, global retail practices and the multidimensional conception of experiences provide both opportunities and challenges for companies worldwide. Retailers strive for an optimized conversion rate, but poor UX still abound. Particularly Germany-based companies are less evolved in an international comparison of industrialized economies. The value of integrating users in the development process is recognized, but methodologies must carefully be incorporated into existing agile workflows. The goal of this study is to bridge the gaps between internal agency and external client and user interests. The contribution is four-fold: an overview of the current status of customer centricity in the E-Commerce branch of trade is provided (I). Based on this corpus, a methodical framework, aiming to incorporate the experience logic in UX practices within an agile project team, is presented (II). The framework is applied by a single case study - the shop relaunch of a motorbike accessory store (III). Finally, all interest groups (UX, development and project management) are incorporated in the qualitative content analysis (IV).
