OVERVIEW
A system that already worked — just not for the people using it
W Express runs delivery, warehousing, and customer-service operations across a nationwide branch network. The internal system supporting that later named WExData already carried the business's core logic. What it didn't carry was clarity: as modules were added over time, the interface grew harder to navigate for the operations and customer-service teams who relied on it daily.
My job wasn't to replace it. It was to restructure the experience navigation, hierarchy, and interaction patterns — while preserving every business rule the system already enforced.
I led the information-architecture restructuring - auditing the existing module structure, presenting reorganized navigation concepts to stakeholders, and translating their operational feedback into a design system used across both the Operations and Customer Service modules.
The challenge, module by module
Six problems the old system had accumulated
Each pain point below maps directly to a decision made in the redesign — this wasn't a cosmetic pass, it was a response to specific friction the teams were living with.
Pain point → Decision
Navigation required going through multiple modules to find one function
Reorganized the module structure into clear, task-based categories, cutting down the number of steps between login and the function someone actually needed.
Pain point → Decision
Related functions weren't grouped, so their place in the system was unclear
Regrouped functions by workflow rather than by system origin, so the structure matches how operations and customer-service teams actually think about their work.
Pain point → Decision
Dense screens made it hard to scan for what mattered
Rebuilt hierarchy and spacing so the most important data and actions are identifiable in a glance, not buried in a wall of fields.
Pain point → Decision
Inconsistent UI patterns across modules slowed people down
Standardized components and interaction patterns into a shared design system, so a behavior learned in one module carries over to the next.
Pain point → Decision
The structure wouldn't scale as more modules were added
Designed the navigation and layout model to absorb new modules without another restructuring — a system built for the company's next few years, not just its current state.
Pain point → Decision
Business logic had to survive the redesign untouched
Every rule and requirement from the existing system was mapped before any screen was touched, so the redesign improved the experience without breaking operations.
Research & discovery
Where the findings came from
Existing system audit
• Mapped the current navigation and module structure
• Flagged screens with dense or unclear information
• Catalogued existing interaction patterns
Business requirements
• Documented rules that had to be preserved
• Traced how modules supported operations vs. customer service
• Identified constraints for the new structure
Stakeholder feedback
• Design reviews with operations leads
• Iterated navigation based on real workflow gaps
• Validated module groupings before build-out
Results & reflection
What changed for the teams using it
Reflection
• Working on WExData taught me that enterprise UX is often about making complex systems easier to understand rather than simply making interfaces visually appealing.
• When a system contains many modules and workflows, the way information is organized can have a significant impact on how easily users navigate the product.
• The redesign process showed me the importance of continuously refining solutions through stakeholder feedback and iteration.
• Using consistent components, patterns, and interaction behaviors makes a large system feel more predictable and easier to navigate.
