Role
Product Designer
Development of Smart Resource Management (SRM) Product, which integrates with multiple IoT-enabled equipment (MRC, SRS etc.) to track recyclable and waste disposal data.
Smart Resource Management (SRM) provides an independent digital source of truth to ensure accurate weight reporting by waste collectors.
10 User Interviews
Candidates age ranged from 30 to 65.
Property manager, operation manager, business development executive and cleaner.
A competitive analysis of other similar waste management system like Recycle Right, Bin Point, SGRecycle and ALBA STEP UP.
90% of company representatives say they need to collect recyclable data and then report it to the National Environment Agency (NEA).
Most property managers don't know how much recyclable data their property has.
Interviewees said they would need to involve operation to facilitate subsequent cleanup.
We conducted an analysis of competitors in Singapore, focusing on app features.
How can we solve the problem of automating the recording of disposal data?
How can we notify the relevant staff of the need for cleanup in a timely manner?
How can we make it easier to record, send, and generate reports?
Wireframing begins after discussions with IoT engineers and product manager.
To address the HMW statements:
We will eventually develop two types of dashboards: one for property managers and another for operations managers.
Equipment will use radar technology to determine the fill level and notify management when it is nearing capacity.
Backend system is designed to generate reports efficiently.
Can view all the disposal data for the this and past year, compare specific months, and generate valuable business insights using the system.
Dashboard is divided into two sections: Equipment Status and Equipment Overview.
Users can filter by specific date ranges and criteria before generating reports.
Usability Testing
User feedback and implemented adjustments.
Previous version of the dashboard was designed to display all information on a single page.
User feedback indicated a need to hide and show different content based on user roles. This approach simplifies the management and filtering of unnecessary information.
Therefore, final design adopts a tabbed layout to organize and display information more effectively.
In previous versions, reports were generated by selecting options and then export data directly.
User feedback highlighted the need to preview reports before export, as this would help avoid errors or incorrect selections.
Final process is as follows: generate and preview report > confirm or adjust (filter) > export report.
Integration of an SMS notification system enables direct communication with cleaning staff.
Implementing additional types of report templates helps users reduce duplicate work.
After this experience, I realized that when adding new features, it's important to consider the user's habits. For example, the timing of pop-ups, the consistency of table views, and so on. Consistent design and adherence to the product style are crucial.
