Stepping into Ecommerce World

For B2B marketplaces like Dental Supplier Group, we start by understanding the full ecosystem—buyers, suppliers, and workflows. UX research reveals what drives purchasing decisions, and where pain points are, helping us shape smart solutions from day one.

Our research methodology

Turning Plans into Action

Decisions & Actions

UX research guides UI goals with data. A new platform fits business needs, boosts use, and makes tasks easier.

Research-based choices help users act fast. Smooth flows and clear layouts grow business while keeping things simple and useful.

We address two distinct types of interactions: Customers (buyers who may not use the product) and Users (end-users of the product). At KT Studio, we enhance engagement by personalizing content for both groups, rather than altering the interface, ensuring a tailored experience for each.
