context

Managing enterprise assets at scale.

IntelliTrack helps organizations manage inventory, repairs, returns, shipments, and lifecycle operations. As part of a 10-month partnership with DecisionPoint Technologies, our team was brought in to evaluate the platform and identify opportunities to improve critical operational workflows.

Through stakeholder conversations and behavioral analysis, we set out to understand how enterprise teams actually navigated the system and where friction emerged in day-to-day operations.

problem

The return management workflow lacked visibility, requiring users to navigate across multiple screens and workflow states.

Return requests are one of IntelliTrack's most critical operational workflows, involving shipments, repairs, approvals, and multiple stakeholders. As the platform evolved, information became fragmented across the system, making it difficult for users to understand request progress, track assets, and identify next steps efficiently.

High-Impact Workflow Identified

01 / Product grounding

Breaking down a complex enterprise ecosystem of 130+ screens, workflows, navigation paths, and operational states before redesigning it.

Information Architecture

Mapped screens, workflows, and navigation hierarchy.

Heuristic Evaluation

Audited usability using Nielsen's Heuristics to uncover workflow and navigation gaps.

key findings

Buried RMA Entry Points

RMA creation and tracking were buried beneath multiple layers of navigation, making key tasks hard to discover.

Inconsistent Interaction Patterns

Tables, forms, and workflow actions followed inconsistent patterns, forcing users to relearn interactions across modules.

Limited System Feedback

Validation rules, workflow states, and action outcomes were not always clear, creating uncertainty during task completion.

02 / User behavior

Designed a research plan combining surveys, interviews, and workflow mapping to uncover user needs and behaviors.

INITIAL RESEARCH STRATEGY

Step 01

Surveys

Survey plan and feedback forms prepared

Step 04

Step 03

User Personas & Journey Mapping

Step 02

Contextual Interviews

Scripts prepared for internal stakeholders and client users

Not everything went according to plan. With limited access to end users, we had to quickly adapt our research strategy and look for other ways to understand real user behavior.

FINDINGS

Important information was spread across multiple screens.

Workflows required excessive scrolling and tab switching.

Terminology like “Site” and “Location” caused confusion.

RMA

Workflow

The RMA workflow sits at the center of IntelliTrack’s asset lifecycle, connecting returns, repairs, replacements, shipments, and approvals across multiple stakeholders. Improving this experience had the potential to influence several interconnected operational workflows.  

Design Solution

The final proposed experience shaped through iterative workflows, stakeholder feedback, and edge-case-driven design decisions.

Create Return Request (RMA)

Step-by-step guidance keeps users informed while reducing decision-making effort and mental load.

Track Return Requests

Service request rows become entry points into detailed tracking, lifecycle visibility, and operational guidance.

01 / EDGE Case

Automatically grouped assets into separate RMAs based on destination, eliminating manual sorting and reducing user effort.

02 / EDGE Case

When repairs finished at different times, split return shipments were clearly represented with independent tracking under the same RMA.

Roadblocks & reflection

This project reinforced that enterprise UX is less about adding features and more about creating clarity within complex operational systems.

Edge cases should influence the core experience—not be treated as exceptions.

Continuous stakeholder collaboration leads to stronger, more practical design decisions.

Leveraging AI for repetitive tasks creates more time for workflow logic, systems thinking, and solving complex design problems.

Leading a multidisciplinary team strengthened project planning, stakeholder alignment and cross-functional decision making.
