Our challenge was to help Surcos take a leap in productivity. While the agricultural industry has made significant advancements using technology, there is still much work to be done.

We chose to focus on the asset management process, which had previously been primarily managed through email and WhatsApp.

Our team created a project roadmap to ensure we met milestones and deadlines aligned with the company's business goals.

Six overlapping circles representing process steps: Research and strategy design, Scope definition and UX analysis, Identity definition, Interface design, Product development, and Product iteration, labeled Understand, Define, Visualize, Design, Build, and Iterate.

During the user interviews, the team discovered that the majority of daily tasks were being handled through WhatsApp, Excel, and email.

From here, we wrote down the jobs to be done by the users in order to create the features backlog.

Simply creating a platform that consolidates all of these jobs in one place would provide significant value to Surco's users.

The design team collaborated closely with stakeholders to create a product identity that matched the user profile.

We sought a color palette that would reflect the industry's characteristics and a simple, minimalist UI that would help users focus on what's important.
