Tray Corp, a leading Brazilian eCommerce company, faced usability challenges with its heavily trafficked Orders page, representing 55% of weekly visits. Users reported issues, prompting a redesign initiative.

Research

The first step I took was to collect metrics to identify the main areas for improvement. During this process, I also gathered heatmaps and screen recordings, which helped to identify various user pain points.

In-depth methods

  • Interviews

  • Satisfaction assessments

  • Surveys

  • Heatmaps

  • Session recordings

  • Usability analysis

Issues identified

  • User dissatisfaction

  • Effort-intensive order filtering

  • High abandonment rate

  • Feature location difficulty

  • Misaligned page structure

Structural Problems

Financial data exposure, information overload, unclear hierarchy.

To gain a deeper understanding of the issues, I conducted several interviews with store managers. This allowed me to organize the key problems and present them to the team. Consequently, we were able to define which metrics could be improved through the redesign.

Objective

Enhance user satisfaction, reduce effort, and address high page abandonment.

Strategy

Then, I began sketching possible proposals. Using Figma, I created several quick prototypes and validated with the developers which proposals could be implemented.

In addition, I conducted several usability tests, both qualitative and quantitative. These tests were extremely rich in content and led to various adjustments that ultimately refined the interface and adapted it to the users' daily needs.

Goals

Reduce cognitive load, increase productivity, enhance personalization, empower users.

Proposal

Simplify by reorganizing hierarchy, introducing a user-friendly date picker, quick action button, and a concise "resume" feature.

Final Adjustments

After several rounds of interface refinement, I achieved a highly satisfactory result with good indicators of user day-to-day adherence. Then, I proceeded to finalize the interface and handoff to the developers.

The development process took several months. I actively participated, providing support to the team and answering any questions that arose. At the end of each delivery, I applied the UI review process to ensure quality and fidelity to the prototype.
