Design challenge: dashboard design for stock management

Overview

NovaCura is a fictional pharmaceutical company focused on large-scale medicine sales. This dashboard, inspired by real data, helps managers and staff monitor stock and production balance.

Role

This design challenge was to showcase a dashboard related to the manufacturing area and to present the design decisions behind it, as part of the requirements for a UX Designer position.

Goal

NovaCura is a fictional pharmaceutical company focused on large-scale medicine sales. Usually, the target audience believes that everything needs to appear on the screen. However, one of the key skills of a UX Designer is the ability to translate complex information into a clean and meaningful visual experience. The user should be able to take a quick look at the dashboard and seamlessly access the information they need.

Solution

  1. Improved scannability with clear visual hierarchy, legible typography, and a clean layout that supports quick data interpretation.

  2. Enabled filtering by allowing users to refine data through specific criteria, making it faster to find relevant insights.

  3. Added sorting, selection, and customizable views to support data comparison and analysis optimized to user needs.

  4. Applied alignment best practices: text is left-aligned to maintain titles and their content visually connected. Numeric data is right-aligned for easier comparison.

Expected impact

  • Faster stock monitoring

  • Reduced decision-making time

  • Easier identification of supply risks
