The Problem

The agriculture industry relies heavily on paper-based audits that are both inefficient and error-prone. The management of paper forms is challenging and often leads to inaccuracies in data. Farmers are often caught off guard during audits due to the lack of clear instructions and information, resulting in time-consuming and inefficient processes.

Defining the product

Working closely with the product owners, I helped develop the product architecture while keeping the end-users’ needs and business objectives in mind. By creating a visual representation of the product pages and user flow on a whiteboard, we were able to compile a comprehensive list of features and determine their priority. Our efforts allowed us to gain a clear understanding of the product’s functionality.

To showcase both mobile and desktop, the supplier interface would be mobile and the auditor interface would be desktop.

03 Ideate

Once the product structure was established, I converted the designs into wireframes and validated them against the research. I collaborated with the product owners to ensure their approval before moving forward with the next steps.

04 Design

The central theme of the platform is built around trust, which is paramount for users when authenticating and verifying their products. We aimed to create a design that would reflect the agricultural landscape, while also providing a versatile palette to accommodate expansion into other industries. We chose blue as the primary color, which symbolizes trust and can be found in nature. The complementary orange color provides a natural yet striking contrast to the palette.

Onboarding

The onboarding process is straightforward and follows a standard flow. Users select whether they are a supplier or manager and then proceed to fill out the account creation form.

Dashboard

The dashboard offers suppliers a quick overview of their programs, suppliers, and recent activity. It helps suppliers stay organized and informed about their suppliers compliance status, allowing them to identify and address issues in a timely manner. This in turn can help to improve overall supplier performance and ensure regulatory compliance.

Suppliers

The suppliers page displays a list of all suppliers managed by the auditor, providing essential information such as their enrolled programs, form progress status, and any overdue forms. Additionally, users can add new suppliers from here.

Programs

Users can view a list of all programs and their compliance status on the program landing page. Upon accessing a specific program page, users can view all the forms associated with the program and which suppliers have received them. Additionally, they can add new forms as needed.

Forms

The form builder enables users to create customized forms by selecting the program, question type, and adding necessary information to a template. They can add as many questions as they need, duplicate previous forms or questions, and send them to suppliers. Additionally, they can reuse previous questions in new forms.

Onboarding

The onboarding process follows a standard flow with the user providing basic information to create an account.

Dashboard

The homepage features a to-do list arranged in order of due dates, designed to offer a clear direction to the user when they open the app. There are no other elements included on the homepage to ensure a streamlined user experience.
