## Valuable Insights

We conducted structured interviews, surveys, and task-based testing within supply chain departments for Kinaxis ERP - Network Planner Dashboard project. These revealed operational blind spots and usability gaps in current tools.

## Major Findings

Research for MyBike - Mobility Bicycle Management Mobile App project showed measurable user needs for real-time tracking, battery status, and distance alerts. Data-focused design decisions improved conversion and retention rates during prototype testing.

### Manual Exception Tracking

71% of users tracked exceptions manually or with spreadsheets. This added delays and increased the chance of data errors.

### Limited Data Context

Critical metrics like service level, margin, and utilization were not tied to specific locations. This created confusion during analysis and reporting.

### Engagement Drops

When exceptions occurred, engagement dropped 23% due to unclear resolution paths and fragmented UI flow.

## Our Solutions

We designed a responsive UX/UI dashboard for the Kinaxis ERP - Network Planner Dashboard example. The interface allows users to track exception data by location and act quickly using clear visual signals. Key filters and contextual actions reduce time spent navigating or switching tools.

### Location-Based Exception View

We visualized disruptions and delays using a map-first layout. This helped users detect issues by region, improving clarity and reducing decision time.

### Filtered KPI Access

Users can now sort data by item, site, or quarter, making it easier to monitor key supply metrics. Each alert includes direct actions to reduce unnecessary steps.

### Embedded Alerts and Actions

Critical exceptions are paired with actionable insights within the same screen. This eliminates the need to switch tabs and supports faster issue resolution.
