Avrora Holdings
Internal digital platform for managing manufacturing processes, inventory, raw materials, and users within a manufacturing enterprise.
When business processes are scattered across five tools
Before the project, employees used different tools for different tasks:
- task management in separate services like Trello;
- communication via WhatsApp;
- document flow through email;
- manufacturing data stored in Excel;
- information distributed across multiple systems.
Because of this, employees wasted time searching for info, switching tools, and dealing with out-of-sync data.
Project Goal:
Create a unified digital platform to manage key internal enterprise processes.
Platform
Diving into Real Manufacturing Workflows
Before designing, the team conducted research directly at the enterprise. During the research:
- observed employees working;
- studied existing business processes;
- conducted interviews;
- analyzed cross-department interaction scenarios;
- identified time and data loss points.
"Decisions were validated together with the enterprise director, who personally participated in testing key scenarios."
My Role as Lead Product Designer
- designing key system modules;
- conducting UX research;
- forming UX solutions;
- managing a team of 3 designers;
- allocating tasks among designers;
- conducting design reviews;
- quality control of solutions;
- verifying alignment with business goals;
- synchronizing team work.
Design Team Coordination
Three other designers participated in the project. My task was not only to design interfaces but to organize the design process: task allocation, design reviews, maintaining a unified UX approach, and ensuring business requirements were met.
Production Planning
Production planning occurred in scattered spreadsheets and required constant manual oversight.
Created a unified planning interface with centralized management of requests, volumes, and production areas.
Users: Production Managers
Users: Shop Floor Managers
Inventory Turnover
There was no unified transparent picture of stock balances and product turnover.
Created an inventory monitoring and balance analysis tool for faster decision making.
Users: Logisticians, Warehouse
Users: Executives
Users: Analysts
Raw Materials
Employees found it difficult to track production needs and available raw material volumes.
Developed a raw materials control interface detailing requirements, balances, and linked requests.
Users: Technologists, Procurement
User Administration
Access management was manual and required the involvement of several employees.
Created a centralized user and role management module.
Users: HR, System Administrators
Users: System Administrators
What Changed After Implementation
Single point of access to workflows
Reduced need to switch between systems
More transparent data management
Acceleration of daily operations
Simplified cross-department interaction
Standardization of internal processes
