Pricing Controls Survey

Data Collection tool

The pricing controls survey is built to support the majority of all products at SMS Assist. The survey is used to collect pricing information from technicians in markets across the entire United States. This particular project is one of my favorites because of the thorough involvement I had in the process from start to finish.

Process

• Meet with PMs and stakeholders to prioritize jobs to be done
• Collaborate with other UX designers
• Begin wire-framing and iteration process
• Discuss plans with development
• Recruit users and test initial designs
• Refine design and integrate learnings
• Repeat entire process until success metric is reached

Create Proposal

Technicians will click 'create proposal' on the ONE portal to open the proposal process. As a team, we strongly debated how to organize the page. We began with a static layout, but quickly moved to collapsible drawers due to the length of the page after multiple proposals.

Incurred Costs

Step one is including incurred costs, or costs that technicians had while addressing the problem before the proposal. During user interviews, technicians were adamant that they wanted to see as many added tasks as possible on the screen. This view went through many iterations to reduce information and adjust the layout.

Add Proposal Information

This is the bread and butter of the whole page. After interviewing users, they appreciated the condensed feel and the ability to quickly add multiple technicians and parts all above the fold. Notice on the right rail how the total cost is updated as the technician adds information to the left rail.

Add Attachments

Lastly, we included sections like adding attachments for any photos or documents that are critical to the proposal. The final step is a series of questions tying up the process.
