UX/UI Design- Saas Startup
Figure POS
Cloud-based point-of-sales
system that makes managing
your business easier.
Summary Screen
In general, users looked for more data points and better legibility throughout this screen. Users were hesitant on using the date navigation on top of screen because it lacked clarity.
Despite the minimal tapping area, users were prone to tapping on the bar graph and expected to see hourly data points. Lastly, the text details of the summary were the most mentioned issue saying it was too crowded.
Employee Shift Modifier
Users had the ability to view employee shifts but no way to edit or add shifts. This was a pain point because it was a common occurance for employers to have to adjust shift times.
I drew inspiration from calendar apps in order to organize past days, and different types of form designs to add crucial data points. I emphasized clarity and precision because the goal of the feature involved payroll.
Hourly Analysis Report
This was the most prominent design implemenation to the app. We wanted to give the users a visual representation of their weekly sales in order for them to better undestand and analyze their sales. With the hourly analysis graph designs with stronger colors indicating higher sales, the users can pin point times of each day of the week to staff accordingly and prepare sufficiently.
Users were generally very pleased with this feature as it gave them another way to analytically manage their business.
Conclusion
Throughout this project, I was able to get a front seat experience of a successful agile design process within the UX design based role. I found it particularly effective given the resources we had as a startup and the direct user feedbacks we were able to gather.
Despite expediting some of the normal UX design process, I was able to keep the project user centered by analyzing each of the feedbacks we received.
In my next experience with agile design, I would want to incorporate wireframes and a concise archetype persona. However, I thought this project was a success due to the overall positive feedbacks of users.
Thank you!
