Arrive Logistics

Tracking exceptions in a shipment's journey

Arrive had difficulty tracking exceptions in a shipment’s journey. I created a tool to improve accountability and visibility saving Arrive Logistics $2-6 million annually.

Led design efforts

I led design efforts, performed user research, created prototypes, held stakeholder meetings to ensure the team was aligned in the product vision.

Created a multi-faceted solution

I collaborated Product, Data, Eng, and Onboarding teams to create an initiative that goes beyond the digital tool.

Ensured scalability

We tracked major actions in the tool to analyze pitfalls within our exception management process to make scaling easy.

Arrive’s UI had a lot of content-heavy tables. I built a component to eliminate horizontal scrolling without any loss in content.

Drove strategy and alignment

I worked with design leadership to establish new interactions for the design team to follow going forward.

Unified design interactions

I collaborated with 11 designers to ensure that Data Row will promote consistent interactions across our product.

Before
After
Hidden information leads to mistakes when users are working quickly
Traditional tables are clunky and don't support as many content types
Horizontal scrolling is awkward and users can't see everything at once
Built with mobile in mind, saving weeks of future design effort
Users make fewer mistakes when info is not hidden by horizontal scrolls
Supports more content types giving designers more tools to solve problems

Data driven

I worked with the Data team to ensure that the algorithm intelligently recommended the right vendor for the right job

Flexible and scalable

We collect data when users deviate from our top selection to build a better algorithm.
