Pristine
Pringle Pristine is a janitorial task management app that uses IoT devices to improve the efficiency and effectiveness of the users.
Challenge
Design a janitorial task management app that seamlessly facilitates the organization, monitoring, and completion of tasks. Tasks can be given by an SOP (Standard Operations Protocol) or by IoT usage sensors throughout a facility.
Results
The app created implemented a user-friendly interface for janitorial staff to easily create, assign, and monitor tasks. It effectively utilizes analytics tools to provide insights into task performance, enabling data-driven tasks and continuous improvement to SOPs.
Additionally, the app was designed the app with scalability in mind, allowing for the easy addition of new features and accommodating the evolving needs of the janitorial service industry.
Process
Research & Analysis
We first collaborated with product stakeholders on the goals and needs of the app, creating an information architecture layout, providing a structured layout for the app. Being a app utilized in a fast-paced environment, user flow analysis was conducted to identify potential hurdles and optimize the workflow. Personas were created to pinpoint pain points specific to the users archetypes. Competitive analysis was undertaken to understand the needs of the industry trends and position Pristine strategically in the market.
This research and analysis laid a robust foundation, ensuring that Pristine not only met functional requirements but also addressed the nuanced needs and pain points of its users.
Wireframe & Ideate
I translated ideas into tangible form through hand-drawn sketches and detailed wireframes, beginning to define the app's layout and interactions. I presented these wireframes to potential users and stakeholders to gather feedback and identify any missing features or functionality. The collaborative process ensured that the experience of the app not only met technical requirements but also the users needs.
Design & Iterate
I crafted full mockups utilizing a mood board to establish key visual concepts. This mood board served as a guiding reference for the overall aesthetic and design elements. Rapidly iterating through designs, I refined and enhanced the app based on iterative feedback loops with stakeholders and users.
Prototype & Test
During the iterative feedback loops the mockups of Pristine were transformed into interactive prototypes, allowing for a realistic simulation of the user experience. These prototypes were rigorously tested with users, including janitorial staff, supervisors, and stakeholders. This was done to gather valuable feedback on usability, functionality, and overall satisfaction. The iterative testing process involved multiple feedback loops, enabling continuous refinement of the design based on user insights.
Iterate & Deliver
I handed off the refined designs to the development team, initiating a collaborative effort to bring the Pristine app to life. Working closely with developers, I ensured a smooth translation of design specifications into functional features. This collaborative approach ensured that the final app adhered to the product and design vision.
