City Furniture
Overseeing a POS & sales tracking application.
Details:
Category:Tablet POS
Client:City Furniture
Skills:Design Leadership
City Furniture is a large home furnishing company in South Florida. In this role, my design team was tasked with creating a complex POS tablet app. Something that employees on the sales floor could use to keep track of sales leads, access inventory, and act as a POS for in-store purchases.
My responsibility in this project was to work with the client executive team and my design team to ensure specifications were translated accurately. Through the review process, I made sure the client’s vision & best practices were in place.
Enhancing Our Team Skills
This project began when we were transitioning to Figma as our main design application. When my team was asked to transition there was apprehension. It was a challenge those first few weeks as we rebuilt the prototype.
I worked hands-on with my team in collaborative learning sessions, one-on-one mentoring, and learning myself on the way. Both my team and I were excited at all the possibilities that were now available. Raising our skills as designers together more than “Boss and employee”. Overcoming the apprehension of learning a new application and producing an excellent product.

Challenges are Overcome
During the early phase of the project worked directly with the top executive at City Furniture. In this situation, we did not receive any formal specifications or structure for the app. Understandably, this came as a large challenge to my designer. They had difficulty presenting and garnering information to work from..
I stepped into that missing role during those first few weeks. Working with the executive team to listen to their ideas and then create actionable tasks for my design staff. I pride myself on communication and this was a case where it was tested. Over time my designer grew his communication & confidence drastically. Dealing directly with the executives for the remainder of the project.
