They are one of the premier flooring providers servicing all of Michigan and parts of Ohio. Their major distributor is Mannington, and their line of products includes Vinyl, Hardwood, Carpet, Laminate, and porcelain.
Problem:
RDC has vendors and dealers, relevant information could be managed via electronic data integration(EDI). The existing ERP system, one of their major concern is EDI. Currently, they are unable to successfully transfer purchase, pricing and invoicing informating electronically. Also, the existing systme has some features that are cumbersome, which they could a more clean and simplified version. They are looking to completely overhaul a custom ERP.

My workbelt details
User Experience Designer
Background:
My WorkBelt is a small business resource management tool. It provides resources for small business owners to manage their business needs such as project management, inventory management, time tracking, etc., using one simple easy to manage online tool. It is currently under development and a beta version will be released soon. Please reach out to me if you would like to see more design details.
Problem:
The database needed an aesthetically pleasing and user friendly interface. It was an intense resource management tool, which was feature packed and needed the User Inferface redesigned keeping the existing system architecture and site flow.
Role:
I was responsible for modifying the WorkBelt interface. As a user experience designer, my approach started with reviewing and understanding the existing product, conducting a comparative market analysis of existing products for design inspiration and feature line up.
Responsibilites:
Responsible for creating mockups and low fidelity wireframes using Balsamiq.
Transformed the wireframes into prototypes using Figma.
Created design style guides.
Road Blocks:
To help the client understand that low fidelity wireframes are not final designs and convince them of the design direction.
