Role: UX Lead

Collaborated with: Product Owner, Solution Architect, Front End & Backend Developers, Program Manager

Duration: January 2023 - 10 months

Why Application?

The current provisioning portal called Wave PTX Portal is not optimized for direct customers. It was originally made for trained technicians and it is labor-intensive for bulk operations. Direct customers may be afraid of this tech-heavy tool and prefer to buy other options on the market for easy configuration.
Data: According to the MSI database, 80% of customers purchase small quantity of devices and 90% of our revenue is coming from those devices as well.
Market Trends: Today, many devices require users to use an app to complete a simple setup process. For more custom settings, enhanced features and capabilities are available through portals.

Research

For feedback and validation, the UX team completed customer feedback and usability testing sessions. In addition, we received a Heuristic Evaluation report from the Research team. Our objectives were to determine the overall usability of the app, discover problems, and identify opportunities.

Methods: Assess system usability scale with testers, identify issues and provide a solution, work with the Product Owner to assign priorities, and collaborate with the development team to resolve issues.

Equipments: Android smartphones with latest APKs, system usability scale forms, moderator guide, task & feedback surveys.

Design Process

The goal is to shorten the setup process from 40 minutes to 5~10 minutes. During this stage, the UX team has generated six iterations on the design concepts and flows, including low-fidelity prototypes.

  • The solution must guide both users with customized needs and users who expect predefined settings.

  • The solution must encompass both the new set-up process and updates to the existing setup, which includes modifications such as adding or removing users, devices, and talk groups.

  • The configuration process should be more user-friendly by creating dialogues with the end-users.

  • The app should follow Motorola's Design System.

Takeaways

  • Built trust with new stakeholders who did not have any experience working with designers

  • Included research into the design effort as the program did not have a dedicated Researcher

  • Standardized UX update requests and scope alignment process

  • Unexpected delays occurred due to the backend API dependency. Descoped planned features & created backlog. This saved UX team more time for refinement & testing

User Settings

Inventory

Quick Set up Wizard

Adding Talkgroups & Users

The admin will start by adding talkgroups for the users. App provides predefined talkgroup names based on the business that the admin operates. The second step is adding users, defining their capabilities and assigning them to talkgroups and contact lists.

User settings are predefined and optional for admins to customize except some mandatory fields such as WiFi network or emergency set up.

When all users are ready, they need to be activated in the system. This will take a few seconds.

For the first time set up, the admin will receive simple tutorial for wizard experience. Wizard panel can be expanded anytime during the setup. It gives admin a flexibility to make edits any time they need. In Users tab, the user can view number of users are being created, their names and inventory status.

Activation

Deployment

When the users are activated, the admin can download user settings to the specific device. They will be guided through the process of connecting the devices to the WiFi so the device can download the corresponding user configuration.

The app collects subscription information automatically from the admin's account. For devices, the admin has to add devices via QR code scanning or manually by entering IMEI and Serial Numbers. The app will automatically link inventory with the new users.
