Background
This platform was designed to simplify tasks and enhance the working experience for workers in this hazardous industry, mining. This tool provides quick access to critical information, simplifies tasks and saves time without compromising safety. Workers can view important data and complete tasks quickly, without jeopardizing their well-being.
Design process
Upon receiving client requirements, I initiate the design process by conducting a thorough analysis of the platform, company and context to gain a comprehensive understanding of their needs and environment. I then proceed to plan a redesign and submit it for the first round of feedback. Based on the feedback received, all necessary improvements are made, which can occur multiple times until client requirements are met. Once satisfied, I deliver a high-quality final product, aligned with the client's vision.
Analysis

Statement
Both from mining industry and miner’s characteristics there are some things that cannot be missed in designing the app
Building
This redesign was shaped by the previous statements. Moreover, wireframes were used to create a mobile view that seamlessly translated into the desktop design. The emphasis on usability and user-centered design has led to a significant improvement in user engagement and satisfaction, with positive feedback from both customers and internal stakeholders alike.
Final Product
This platform was designed to simplify the mining industry's fleet management with an easy-to-use dashboard. Monitor fleet's location and status on a map and optimize workforce with driver rankings. The previous dashboard was redesigned to be user-friendly, mobile-friendly and equipped with follow-up graphics and charts, warnings, notifications and filters.
