Solutions
-
01.
Created a fluid and inclusive project plan
After identifying project needs, we adjusted our app workflows to include Trico's development team. This allowed us to answer questions in real-time and quickly obtain third-party data APIs with little downtime. -
02.
Reorganized the data architecture
As a flagship service, the app had to simplify the oil sampling lifecycle for its clients. It had to help collect and store client data, showcase processing status, and display a myriad of analytical results on-demand. Data integrated from multiple locations had to be converted into charts and graphs for visualization. The tool also hosts client reporting guidelines, SOP's, and ISO codes. -
03.
Redesigned the user experience (UX/UI)
A lot of care was given to the intuitive design of the app. We portal includes company branding and an intuitive two-part navigation menu. Each action provides a intuitive secondary action. For example if a user decides to print a label, it automatically triggers a "print mode" which asks for the number of copies, and the format required. Information icons are also available throughout the app to help educate and guide customers through processes.
