A 25 year old product. 6,000 screens. A consultancy rebuilding them one by one. I transformed the approach from redesigning screens to building a system, reducing a team of 12 designers to one.
ONESOURCE Global Trade had operated on Gupta Software for 25 years with virtually no front end design. A cloud migration had modernised the infrastructure, but not the user experience.
I was brought back to introduce a scalable design system approach. The challenge was not adding more designers, but changing how design was done.
Users must validate information, often sourced from SAP, and submit it to the Brazilian government to obtain the required export and import documentation. The legacy system made every step of this process cumbersome, manual, and time consuming.
The journey revealed the complexity of preparing Brazilian export and import documentation, with seven stages from Define to Conclude, each loaded with friction, pain points and broken handoffs.
When I returned, a 12-person external consultancy was already allocated — rebuilding screens one by one. It looked productive. It wasn’t scalable. With over 6,000 screens in scope, there was no realistic path to completion, and development couldn’t code everything being produced.
I worked closely with Product Owners and Product Managers to identify the highest priority modules and workflows. We then mapped the key user flows, starting with the import and export interface module.
The flow diagram defined the decision paths, branching logic, and template types required, giving engineering a clear specification for implementation.
I collaborated with Thomson Reuters’ proprietary design system, adapting existing components and crafting new ones — each documented with usage guidelines, layout specs, interaction rules, and real examples for business, design, and development teams.
I created a prototype mapping the entire user journey, allowing the team to validate the workflow and test real tasks before development.
Key flows included the 4 step invoice wizard, bulk item editing and the macro part number system.
The In Out module, one of the most widely used interfaces, manages all planned and processed interface executions integrated with the ONESOURCE Global Trade solution, including data imports and exports, error management, and manual interface configuration.
