Case Study : Boxed SMARTstockup

Boxed SMARTStockup is a replenishment algorithm created by our data science team, it uses many factors to recommend when someone would need to repurchase an item. Our task was to ensure an easy way to repurchase the items in the queue, before the customer runs out. This project was completed for Responsive Web as well as Android and iOS.  

Wireframes were created using current pieces of UI in order to prove out a user flow. A user would be given a list of products that the algorithm determined they were about to run out of, the list would be split up into 2 sections, need now and need later. A user would be given the ability to purchase, snooze or permanently dismiss each item from the page individually or as a batch action.

This project, more than many others involved creating new design systems from scratch. It took many explorations to figure out the most effective components to use for the task; cards, lists, indicators and more.

Once settling on a simple list style, storyboards and annotations were created to demonstrate interactions to the developers and QA teams.

One the wireframes were approved by the larger team the feature was fully designed.

We did quite a bit of testing to ensure that users could easily find and use the feature. We recruited from usertesting.com and tested for iOS and web.

The final product as built on iOS and web, I was the designer for all platforms and was responsible for every stage of the project.

Oh, and I designed some emails too.
