CHALLENGE GOALS
- The goal of this challenge is to design the look and feel of a Tablet touch screen (used in a warehouse)
PROBLEM: Box-it!
- A large e-commerce company is having issues quickly packing online orders because not all products have the same size. The company is looking to optimize box usage by designing a mobile (tablet) application that recommends the best packing options:
- Quickly identifies how many products an order has
- Calculates the box dimensions needed
- Recommend the best box (or boxes) to pack the order
- This will help the company to pack faster and reduce costs by using the best optimal box size and quantity to any order
- Note: Sizes/dimensions of items/products are already known. This is essentially a packing recommendation tool. The employee will need to make the final judgment (and why it would be on the warehouse floor.)
SCREEN REQUIREMENTS
1) Design a Tablet screen (size is up to you) for use in a warehouse
2) Propose a Dashboard that could show:
- Orders (Filter: Paid, On Hold, Cancelled)
- Recommendation of the best box (or boxes) to pack the items. (Key is fewer boxes)
- Priority
- Number of items in the order
- Notes
Note: Think of the warehouse worker referencing the app and its recommendations.
