About

With a team of more than 155,000 professionals in more than 70 countries worldwide, they bring risk management to the world of agriculture, food, and nutrition, and help farmers and ranchers grow and connect to broader markets.

Understanding the Challenge

Existing Systems Affecting User Experience

The UI/UX for the client’s existing application made it difficult for users with less technical expertise to leverage it to the fullest. The app was not easy to use and had very apparent usability issues. It crashed frequently, and there was always a risk of data loss, which is why most users took down information manually to avoid data loss.

  • The app crashed very frequently, making it hard to capture important data in one go.
  • Auto-sync and auto-publish features in the application did not work properly, leading to the loss of customer data as well as notes entered into the application.
  • The interface was not intuitive and processes took very long with multiple screens and clicks involved.
  • The users were taking notes in physical journals to avoid data loss.
  • Historical data was hard to access within the app because visits are archived after a certain time period.
  • It was not possible to capture data for multiple parlours or even for a specific animal.

Building the Solution

Completely Revamping the UI/UX for the Cross-Platform App

The new and revamped cross-platform application helped the client overcome the issues they were facing with the existing application. The solution was easier to understand and more intuitive, so the users didn’t have to rely on technical knowledge to be able to use it properly.

Our Approach


  • Understanding The User Journey

    We conducted an intensive discovery that lasted between 6 and 8 weeks, trying to dive deep and understand the intricacies behind the challenges and issues being faced by the client. After making different user roles and dissecting the pain points for each, we suggested a complete revamp of the UI/UX for the mobile application.


  • Building Wireframes & Designs

    We then went on to rethink and remap the workflow to be able to design it in the easiest, most intuitive manner. We designed wireframes that minimize effort for the client and enabled them to accomplish the same tasks within a couple of taps.


  • Development

    Our development team then took over and recreated the UI/UX to build a new and improved solution for the client.


  • Deployment, Testing & Training

    We deployed the solution after minimal training was given to explain the new features as well as the interface changes.

The Solution

Data Syncing

New Visits and Visit History

The solution enables the client to create new visits, and even manage the tools list for the visits. They are able to switch tools as well as pens and can generate and share tool reports and visit reports. They can also view all the previous visits and filter them according to the tool, status, date range, etc.

Offline Mode

The dashboard is viewable to the user, but any new changes aren’t reflected until the app is synced over internet connectivity. The solution enables the user to access visit history, new visits, customers as well as the notebook in offline mode.

The Resulting Transformation

An Intuitive App Offering a Seamless Experience

The solution enabled many users who didn’t even use the application to leverage the benefits of the analysis and actionable information available in the app. It helped improve the overall user experience and made it easy for the users with little to no technical knowledge.
The consultant now has the control to be able to decide the auto-publish duration, since the data is automatically saved after every 15 minutes.
The app is now more intuitive and gives options to the users to personalize their experience by marking their frequent tools and customers.
The digital notebook redefined convenience for the users that used to carry their physical notebooks with them on visits to avoid data loss.
The reports are shorter and crisper and can be customized according to the user’s preference.
