Project story — Medical Supply Catalog
Completed in approximately three days, the first iteration of the prototype explores the potentials of a more adaptable and user-friendly product. The new design consists of a catalog page and some product pages that allow users to view product images, product meta-data, and detailed information in a streamlined structure.
An international agency provides supply-chain logistics for partners around the world. As part of their service, the agency produces a catalog of medical supplies available for order. Currently, the catalog is only available as a PDF file, but this can cause some issues:
- Accessibility to the catalog
- Recency of information
- Findability
- Overuse of paper resources
As a proof-of-concept, our team built a prototype that would include a redesign for two primary pages: a catalog page and a product page.
The catalog page displays nine product pages across six distinct categories with the following included:
- Cards with related media images
- Metadata for the number of products in a category
- The date a category was last updated
On the product pages, the following are included:
- Featured product images
- Tags for high-level information
- A prompt to log in for more information
- Jump links to full product details
- Links to similar products in the category
Some other features that can be found on these pages include a header and footer with indications of navigation and search capabilities.
After receiving client feedback, we performed a second iteration and made the following changes:
- Added an "Add to list" button to the product page.
- Added "last updated" along with some other metadata to the product page.
- Added a language selector.
- Added category landing pages.
- Produced a tangible, working prototype shared with our client.
- Crafted a reusable prototype template for similar projects.
