From Opinions to Outcomes: How Clarity Builds Trust and Better Design
summary
A booking and slotting system for FBA truck arrivals is built after 90 stakeholder interviews and a 300-page requirements pack; a simple 3–4 click UI plus a rolling calendar gives confirmed time slots, drivers bring only two documents, and the live rollout cuts queues to near zero with 80% less workload for manual note-taking and ~25 minutes saved per shift. The core team is one designer plus ~40 people; full program takes ~18–24 months to implement and scales to 18 countries.
