01 — The Problem

A Field App That Worked Against the Field

Unstructured Workflows

Sales reps followed no consistent process. The app presented features as a flat list with no logical flow, forcing reps to remember complex sequences for routine tasks like order placement and retailer visits.

Inefficient Order Management

Placing a single order required navigating through 7+ screens with repetitive data entry. No cart functionality, no order templates, and no way to duplicate previous orders — common operations in FMCG distribution.

Poor Field Usability

Small touch targets, low-contrast text, and no offline support made the app nearly unusable in actual field conditions — bright sunlight, one-handed operation, and patchy rural connectivity.

02 — My Role

End-to-End Product Design

UX/UI Design

  • User research & personas

  • Visual design system
  • Usability testing

Navigation Flows

  • Information architecture
  • Task flow optimization
  • Role-based pathways
  • Error state handling

Interaction System

  • Gesture patterns
  • Micro-interactions
  • Loading & empty states
  • Offline mode behavior
03 — UX Approach

Designing for the Real World, Not the Boardroom

01

Understanding Workflows

Shadowed field sales reps across rural and semi-urban territories to map real daily workflows, pain points, and workarounds

02

Reducing Cognitive Load

Identified and eliminated redundant inputs, unnecessary confirmations, and confusing terminology that slowed down field operations

03

Designing Scalable Systems

Built a modular component system and flexible navigation that adapts as product lines and territories expand

04 — Key Solutions

Practical Design for Practical Problems

01

Clean, Purposeful UI

Every screen serves a single clear purpose. Removed visual clutter, standardized typography, and introduced a consistent spacing system that works across device sizes and lighting conditions.

02

Intuitive Navigation

Task-based navigation that mirrors how field reps actually think — by action (place order, check stock, visit retailer) rather than by data category. Reduced menu depth from 4 levels to 2.

03

Enhanced Data Visibility

At-a-glance dashboards showing daily targets, pending orders, and territory performance. Critical data surfaced upfront so reps spend less time searching and more time selling.

04

Offline-First Architecture

Designed for unreliable rural connectivity. Orders, visit logs, and customer data sync automatically when connection is available, with clear status indicators.

Technology That Works Where It Matters

The Emami Agrotech field sales app redesign proved that enterprise mobile tools don't have to be clunky. By deeply understanding the constraints of field operations — unreliable connectivity, harsh lighting, one-handed use — we designed an experience that feels native to the environment it serves.

The result is a tool that field reps actually want to use — one that makes their daily work faster, more reliable, and less frustrating. That's the real measure of good UX.
