SainoBox, Optimizing Workforce Assignment System

SainoBox is a SaaS designed to assist organizations in efficiently managing and allocating their workforce.

Unfortunately, due to the confidentiality of client information, I have taken measures to highlight key aspects of this case study while respecting privacy and security concerns. Thanks for understanding!

Challenges

The Project Management Office (PMO) struggles with real-time workforce visibility, leading to inefficient resource allocation, inaccurate capacity forecasting, and suboptimal utilization rates. These gaps result in delivery delays, missed revenue opportunities, and eroded profit margins.

My Role

As a product designer, I collaborated with cross-functional teams to define user workflows, validate pain points via stakeholder interviews, and design a scalable SaaS solution that integrates internal resume builder, profiles advanced search and application process form where managers can monitor status in real time.

Kickoff Session

I conducted a discovery workshop with the PMO to map their resource management lifecycle, prioritize high-impact pain points, and align on key success metrics (e.g., time optimization, higher application rate).

Product Goal

Build a cloud-based workforce management SaaS tool that provides:

  • Real-time resource tracking (skills, availability, allocations).
  • Demand-capacity forecasting to optimize staffing.
  • Automated reporting to reduce manual effort.
  • Enforce consistency via resume builder

Discovery

The client provided a collection of raw user feedback's and google analytics behavior flow report.

Based on data analysis and PMO stakeholder discussions, we identified root causes of inefficiencies to inform:

  • User flow optimization (streamlining workforce allocation steps).
  • Feature prioritization (forecasting accuracy vs. usability trade-offs).
  • Visual hierarchy redesign (key metrics visibility).

To further validate UI pain points, I conducted a heuristic evaluation against Nielsen’s principles, surfacing critical gaps in:

  • Consistency (mismatched component patterns).
  • Error prevention (missing validation in resource inputs).
  • Bad navigation (lack of connection between features).

Our interface inspection revealed actionable UI design patterns and principles to implement in the redesign.
