Design for people working against a clock for India's largest logistics company

The short version

Five products for supply partners, cluster managers, traffic controllers, drivers and citizens — designed for work that's physical, fast and unforgiving.

Outcome

5

5 products, 9 user roles, one network

SC 01

Before Publicis Sapient, I was a senior product designer at India's largest logistics company — designing for people doing physical work against a clock, where a confusing screen costs time on the road, at the dock or at the counter.

I worked with product and operations teams across five products, from supply-partner onboarding to a pandemic-era containment-zone API.

SC 02 · The context

Before Publicis Sapient, I designed products for India's largest logistics company — for people whose work is physical, fast and unforgiving: supply partners, cluster managers, traffic controllers and drivers. Five products, one rule: if it costs them a minute, it costs the network a lot more.

SC 03 · 01 · Supply partners

Supply partners bid on loads and align their driver partners. We mapped the task flow from their side — finding the app, logging in with a phone number, the onboarding formality, getting started — and every question along the way: will I have to pay upfront? when will I start seeing requests? can I submit documents later?

The discovery flow went from leads (ads, the website, friends in the same field) to a profile created by the business team, to load requests based on route preferences.

Those questions shaped the screens: a phone-number-and-OTP login, onboarding that tells partners what to expect and how long verification takes, and a landing page that goes straight to load requests matched to their route preferences.

SC 05 · 02 · Hyperlocal

A hyperlocal delivery service for restaurants: the restaurant manager creates and manages orders; the cluster manager allocates field executives; the customer tracks the order. The cluster view brought orders, available manpower, SLA and top issues — consignee not available, containment zones, bad weather — into one screen.

SC 06 · 03 · Mega-facilities

Traffic controllers schedule inbound and outbound connections at mega-facilities. We designed dock assignment, docking duration, shipment distribution and driver details around one question: which vehicle goes to which dock, now?

SC 07 · 04 · COVID-19

During the pandemic, we built a dashboard and API so e-commerce platforms could keep delivering, government representatives could verify policy changes, and citizens could check whether their pincode sat in a restricted zone.

A driver app for vendor driver partners, designed to promote geolocation for trip monitoring — permissions explained up front, trips and uploads in as few taps as possible.

Five products designed the way the business measures itself — in time on task, and in how few questions a person has to ask before they can get on with the job.
