N-Smart Project Goal
The goal was to create an MVP for an asset management software for utility companies. The client envisioned a novel solution that would merge smart sensors, utility poles, live data streams, and AI‑driven analytics into a single intelligent system usable by other utility firms. We had to build a platform capable of forecasting, automated issue detection, inventory tracking, and more efficient technician scheduling. We took charge of the UX research and the complete product design.
Solution
We began with a thorough UX analysis to map out how distinct users (technicians, dispatchers, managers) would interact with the platform. The interface was designed around three main components:
- Interactive maps that show the location of utility poles, service trucks, tools, and warehouses.
- Custom dashboards with KPIs, tool calibration statuses, activity levels, scheduling, and more.
- One-click resource management for easy access to data about trucks, tools, and inventory – with smart filters and visual status tags.
One of the biggest UX challenges was to organize a large amount of data so that it was not overloaded. We solved this by designing a clear, modular interface and prioritizing key metrics on each screen. The visual style is minimalist, with a simple hierarchy that enables new users to learn quickly the utility asset management software.
Result
We crafted a sleek, user‑friendly interface for utility asset management software that can scale from a minimum viable product to a full-size IoT platform with future AI integration. Our team handled the complete UX research and UI design.
