Challenge
Datumate™ offers drones that photoshoot the cell tower maintenance. The mobile app that controls the drones needs to be operated by “old fashioned” technicians. Therefore the requirement was definitive: usage should be as easy as 1-2-3. Datumate is examining whether it should require human technicians to climb cell towers to inspect them when a drone can do the job faster and without the risk of falling.
Solution
We started by formalizing the product’s state machine and functional flow. Then created an interface that skillfully consolidated and merged a myriad of product states into a manageable amount of screen objects and actions.
Result
The result was a hybrid of wizard and conventional screen, that proved to be amazingly intuitive and readily used by cell technicians.
