About Orixe

Orixe is a software solution with modules focusing on transparancy in the supply chain. The main foucs of this redesign was the Audit module. In this module the user can audit suppliers inside the platform with predefined templates together with their team. Everything is organized and easy to find in contrast to email based auditing. 

UX Review

The look of the website was outdated, and there was a lot of design flaws and errors that hindered the users from doing their tasks.

The Process

I used design thinking to guide me through this process. 

1.Research

Understand the problems with the current design.

2.Define

Define what the problem is and what the users need.

3.Ideate

Explore ways to solve the problem in the best way.

4.Design

Create sketches and prototypes to visualize the solution.

5.Ideate

Test the design with users and if necessary iterate.

Understanding the Problem

In order to get a better idea of the problems needing to be solved I did the following: 

Interviews and testing with existing users

Understanding business goals

Insights after interviews and usability testing with users
  • Unclear flows of action
  • Too short pop-up notifications
  • Lacking feedback messages
  • The users were not aware of being apart of a team
Insights after meeting about business goals
  • More modern and fresh design
  • Want to use less time on customer support and bug fixes
  • Process should be self explanatory
  • Happy users that will recommend the software to others

Personas

I made sure to keep the users in mind when working on the redesign. 

Persona of CSR Responsible Persona of QA

Competitive Analysis

Before we started developing the idea further I did a competitive analysis of three different related apps.

Redesign

I focused on removing excess information and steps. Making more calls to action was also important in addition to hierarchy. A lot of information was confusing because there was not proper hierarchy of information and too much visual clutter.

Usability Testing

The next step was to test the updated design and gain feedback on the design.

There were still some confusing names needing to be fixed.

Insight 2

The results were very positive overall and there were significant improvements from the first test.

Takeaways

The redesign has been well received by our users. However there are still improvements to be made and more features to be designed to create an even better platform.
