Redesigning a Data Importation Process

Background
The Client
Humanyze
Humanyze, a workplace analytics company. They work with other businesses to help them find insights on how to optimize their teams. They look to drive engagement, productivity, and adaptability by analyzing corporate data. Their technology extracts data from their clients' communication tools, location systems, and enterprise applications.
​
Data Importation Process
In order to properly analyze the data, Humanyze also need data (gender, location, department, etc.) from their clients' HRIS system. This set of data is manually entered through the data importation process in order to be processed.
​
-
Users receive client demographic data and make the data workable for their system on an excel spreadsheet (Edit blank spaces, fix any errors, capitalize lowercase letter, etc)
The Assignment
Myself and 3 other team members were asked to redesign the data importation process current Humanyze employees use for their clients' data. Our goal was to create a more efficient and editable client data management process for the users. In order to do this, we needed to identify what features in excel the employees utilized and design a custom system that optimizes their current processes.

Ideation
Sketching
Low-fi sketching helped me get my ideas on paper and gain a visual understanding what will work best for the user. The research showed that people want a fast and easy e-commerce process. I kept this objective in mind while analyzing which designs are most effective.

Wireframing
Once the sketches were complete, I began designing wireframes. The goal of this process was to finalize the layout of each page, and confirm if my initial sketches make sense on a digital platform. This process helped determine the spacing, content prioritizing, and functioning of my design.
