TIMELINE

PLATFORM
Webapp
Production & Project Planning webapp was built for internal uses of Lane Furniture - a US based company with one of the factories located in Binh Duong, Vietnam. At the time I met them, they’re using an outdated software, and due to the needs of new features with better user experience, they wanted to revamp it.
I personally interested in this business because I had a time working in wooden furniture industry. This background helped me a lot in understanding and building this project.

The outdated tool deconstruct: lots of painpoints
They were using a tool called "Design Net" to manage the production projects. The initial purpose of this tool was for uploading project designs such as render photos, CAD files. It was not designed for managing the whole workflow.
I went through some quick interviews with the personas on this tool:
- Each of user roles walked through their daily task flows.
- Ask them about mistakes they regularly made, or any obvious pain point.
- Synthesis the answers and seek for design opportunities.
Outcomes
First clickable prototype delivered in 4 weeks
Final design for first release delivered in 7 weeks
Seamless handover to the engineering team
Foundation styles and components for long term vision
Product is daily used across USA and Vietnam factories
