The problem

Dispatchers couldn’t see where their trucks and trailers were, and yard security tracked every entry and exit on paper.

The goal

Give Agramont one digital tool for real-time asset visibility that also streamlines check-ins, check-outs, and documentation.

My role

As the only UX professional on the project, I led the design from the first interview to the launch-ready app, working alongside software developers, a project manager, and the operations director.

Pitch 1

Research

I interviewed three logistics specialists and found that most of them juggled three or more separate tools just to track assets and talk to each other. That made simplicity and integration the project’s north star.

A competitor analysis of FourKites and Samsara pointed the same way: real-time visibility and simple, glanceable data visualization mattered most. Both findings shaped every design decision that followed.

Pitch 2

Flows and sketches

Starting from scratch, I mapped user flows for logistics specialists and security guards: checking assets in and out, reserving trailers, and pulling up real-time data. With the team, I built a component list and outlined how each piece would connect to existing systems.

Then I sketched a dashboard for each role, built around info cards and a table of assets.

Pitch 3

Wireframes and testing

In Figma, I built low-fidelity wireframes and a clickable prototype, then tested it with logistics specialists and security guards. Testing showed the reservation page needed to be more intuitive and needed a way to reserve trucks for dispatch. I also refined each role’s dashboard info cards based on the feedback.

Pitch 4

Design system

With the structure settled, I built a full design system: color palette, iconography, typography, elevation, components, and layout grids, so every screen in the app stays consistent.

Pitch 5

Hi-fi prototype

I designed an interactive, high-fidelity prototype in Figma with detailed user flows and clickable elements. Working closely with the developers, we turned it into the launch-ready web app.

Results

After launch, Forward noticeably increased operational efficiency, reduced documentation errors, and improved coordination between logistics specialists and security guards.

Real-time asset tracking

Simple visualizations show each asset’s status and location at a glance.

Digital check-ins and check-outs

A digital system replaced the paper process at the yard gate.

Streamlined reservations

An easy reservation flow for trailers and trucks speeds up dispatch.

Smoother communication

Logistics specialists and security guards now work from the same live information.

Challenges along the way

Reworking reservations

Testing showed the reservation flow was hard to follow, and dispatchers needed to reserve trucks as well as trailers. We simplified the steps and added truck reservations to the same flow.

Role-specific dashboards

Each role needed different information up front. Refining the info-card visualizations made the critical data clear for everyone.

What I learned

Keeping a steady feedback loop with the people who use the product, and iterating on what they tell you, matters more than any single design decision.
