Since the Orders page is the most accessed page, one of the team's biggest goals is to keep it simple and user-friendly. However, this was not the feedback we were getting from the data.

People were reporting a lot of usability problems and the analytics was reporting some bad indicators, therefore we have decided to propose solutions.

Our research showed that users who manage high volumes of orders need to be highly productive, able to perform actions with ease, have control over the tools, and receive clear feedback to ensure optimal performance. However, the results of our research revealed several issues, including:

  • User dissatisfaction;

  • Significant effort required to filter on order list;

  • High abandonment rate for the new layout;

  • Difficulty locating certain features;

  • Page not meeting user needs.

Based on research, we understood that not just one or two changes will solve the problems, but the whole design.

Our goal was to simplify the user experience by clearly identifying the page, organizing key actions, and displaying more orders with less scrolling.

Recognizing the sensitive nature of financial information, we followed the lead of financial software providers by allowing users to hide their financial data. This way, they can maintain control over the level of visibility and security they prefer.

We have implemented several improvements to the platform, including:

  • A new, more user-friendly date picker

  • A quick action button in the order list, allowing users to manage their orders with fewer clicks

  • A convenient "resume" button, providing key information at a glance without the need to open a new tab. These changes are aimed at reducing cognitive load, making the platform more organized, and streamlining the main actions.

The first test was applied by individual meetings, I scheduled 5 tests and invited the PO to take notes.

The intention was to measure the new features' usability, understand if the new structure of the page was clear and see if the users could complete basic actions with ease.
