PROBLEM TO SOLVE

Supply chain management organizations lack a strategy for proper material inventory and stocking levels. They are in need of understanding current levels in order to reduce number of materials, cost and unscheduled machinery downtime.

TARGETS & OKRs

  1. Increase overall organizational material inventory cost savings

  2. ​Reduce organizational inventory by 25%

STEP ONE:

User Discovery

The beginning stages of the inventory recommendation cards started by talking and meeting directly with customers to understand their needs and the data that will help them make informed decisions to better manage their materials' inventory.

Along with customer feedback, there were multiple sessions analyzing data and how it performs together in order to create a full story with current and past inventory data.

STEP TWO:

Paper Wireframes

After developing an understanding of the data needing to be presented within the UI, the user workflows, and feedback of their needs, I put together various wireframes that best accommodate the user requirements.

STEP THREE:

Hi-Fi Wireframes

Transitioning from basic ideation sketches, I created hi-fi wireframes of different versions for the recommendation cards in sketch.

These wireframes were all presented to the customer directly in order to receive feedback.

STEP FOUR:

Visual UI Design

After the wireframes were finalized, I moved into applying the full visual design.

These mockups were the MVP, version 1, of the inventory recommendation cards and also started an iterative design phase

STEP FIVE:

1st & 2nd Redesign

The recommendation card design went through a 2 revisions and redesigns to accommodate more data that needed to be presented into the card as more customers across different organizations grew in the customer base.

STEP SIX:

Last Redesign

The card went through a final redesign as even more data was added into the card to make an even more informed decision on materials' inventory across the customers' organization.

This redesign provided more data visualizations to break up the monotony of rows of data within the UI. This card also utilizes a progressive disclosure UI to show even more granular detail through certain contextual links.
