Challenges
1. Project Delays
2. Inccuracy and Control
3. Material Theft
Inventory tracking has many parties involved and inefficient tracking method combined with miscommunication result in delays in project timelines that lead to higher construction costs.
Manual inventory management processes (spreadsheets, documents, WhatsApp) are prone to errors such as discrepancies between physical and recorded inventory counts, leading to inefficiencies and financial losses.
Material and equipment theft is quite common in construction sites due to inefficient tracking and accountability.

Inventory flows
About users
Primary Users: Admin, Warehouse Manager, Gate Personnel, QA/QC Personnel, Procurement Manager
Secondary Users: Contractor, delivery personnel, supplier, finance
User 1 : Warehouse Manager (majorly responsible for inventory management)
User 2 : Inventory Manager
Problems Identified
After analysing business challenges, user pain points, and auditing existing inventory, we found four major challenges​
1. Inefficient Navigation workflow
2. Fragmented Transactions
3. Mobile & On-Site Frustrations
4. Inaccurate and Manual Processes
How might we restructure the inventory interface for WM so they can quickly find relevant info, track, take actions and manage stock efficiently?
Users have no single place to view all inventory movements. Transactions like issues, receipts, etc are scattered, often with no clear tagging or linkage This leads to confusion, missed updates, and prevents reconciliation.
On-site users struggle with mobile interfaces that are outdated, non-intuitive, and hard to navigate. They use different scanning tools not integrated with the system, and face delays in recording transactions in real-time.
Manual tools like Excel and paper logs lead to errors, theft, and mismatched stock counts — making it hard to control inventory and audit movements across warehouses and project sites.
3. Opportunity
How might we make them navigate quickly, simplify transactions, mobile optimization, and ensure accuracy?
We converted our key problems into opportunities to solve for during the redesign.
1. Navigate quickly
How might we restructure the inventory interface for warehouse managers so they can quickly scan, find relevant info, and take quick actions without any delay?
2. Simplify transactions
How might we design an intuitive and unified interface that allows multiple stakeholders to track inventory, create transactions, and receive stock seamlessly?
3. Optimize for mobile
How might we optimize mobile UX workflows for common actions like receiving, issuing, and scanning using latest tech that can significantly improve accuracy and adoption?
4. Ensure Accuracy
How might we eliminate manual work, provide real-time stock status & predictive restocking alerts, and automate stock reconciliation to enhance accuracy and efficiency?
4. Design decisions
Glimse of workflow
Before
After
1: Navigate quickly: A) Solving navigation
Before
The navigation model is not scalable—cluttered top navigation, excessive page hopping, and important features like BOM hidden or non-actionable. The structure slows down decision-making and creates cognitive load.
After
Introduced a scalable sidebar navigation which is scalable for future needs. It has a centralized place for warehouse manager, unified transactions, and separate BOM for real-time stock status for the asset.
1: Navigate quickly: B) Restructuring page layouts
Pages lack structured hierarchy — item and transaction pages require excessive clicking and horizontal scrolling to access information, making quick scanning difficult.

Outcome and Impact
Following the redesign, we launched the first full version of Inventory with measurable improvements across key user and business metrics:
1. Inventory Accuracy ↑ 20%
2. Task Completion Time ↓ 30%
Unified transaction views, alert systems, and mobile workflows helped teams act faster, reducing delays and rework.
3. User Adoption ↑ 40%
Modern mobile interface and simplified actions significantly improved adoption by warehouse and on-site teams.
Smart reconciliation and linked transactions reduced manual mismatches and improved real-time stock visibility.
