About OWOX BI
The OWOX BI project has been being developed at OWOX since 2012. It was created to help marketers and analysts evaluate the effectiveness of advertising campaigns and build the necessary reports. OWOX BI combined three services: Pipeline (loading cost data from advertising sources into Google Analytics and Google BigQuery), Attribution (creating and setting up your own attribution model), Smart Data (a tool for building reports based on data, which was collected in Google BigQuery).
In 2018, OWOX BI services are already used in 80 countries of the world; more than 1 million transactions are processed daily in client projects.
Work on project
When I came to the project as a Product Designer, I received a large number of PSD files that various colleagues had previously worked on. And as a result, there were a lot of disagreements in these layouts (the size of the indents differed, the variety of font sizes and even the text color could differ).
The first thing I decided to do is to build a single layout based on all PSD files with all interface elements. After this, I led to the same rules for fonts, indents, and the appearance of blocks in this layout. Thus, the OWOX BI project has something similar to the style guide.
The next step was to jump from Photoshop to Sketch and create a complete library of styles for all interface elements (texts, icons, buttons, links, form elements, etc.). Thus, now using these elements from the library, I don’t think about their appearance and spend more time thinking over user experience scenarios.
In one year I collected feedback on the convenience of the product interface: I conducted user surveys, asked questions to colleagues, watched videos of user sessions on the site, read all tickets in support. And, of course, I did the current tasks for the project and designed new features.
As a result of this work, I created a new interface for the product, which fixes many errors and shortcomings of the current interface. I gave a presentation of the new design and prepared a «live» clickable prototype of the project in InVision, which consists of 120 artboards.
At the moment, an active process is underway to apply a large number of changes in the interface. I work together with a team of front-end developers, helping them with the implementation of an updated design.
