Problem statement
Procurement in the Architecture, Engineering, and Construction (AEC) industry is largely manual and fragmented, with teams relying on spreadsheets, emails, and disconnected vendor catalogs. This results in inefficient product discovery, limited cost visibility, and delays in procurement decisions. The lack of a centralized system makes it difficult for stakeholders to collaborate and manage procurement effectively across projects.
Goal
Design a procurement platform that simplifies how AEC professionals discover products, manage project procurement, and collaborate with stakeholders. The goal is to centralize procurement workflows and enable faster, more informed decision-making throughout the construction lifecycle.
Objective
Reduce product discovery time by 50%
Improve procurement visibility by 25%
Reduce stakeholder communication delays
Improve vendor comparison efficiency
Solution

Design approach
To solve this problem, I followed a Lean UX approach within the Double Diamond framework. The Double Diamond helped structure the process from problem discovery to solution delivery, while Lean UX enabled rapid ideation, prototyping, and iterative validation of design decisions.

Persona 1 – Architect
Name: Rohan Sharma
Age: 34
Role: Senior Architect
Experience: 9 years
Firm Size: Mid-size architecture studio
Goals
Quickly find construction products that match
design specifications
Compare vendors and product options efficiently
Ensure material selections stay within project
budget
Maintain transparency with contractors and
project stakeholders
Pain Points
Product catalogs and supplier information are
scattered across multiple sources
Comparing vendor quotations through emails and spreadsheets is time-consuming
Lack of a centralized system to track procurement status and budgets
Frequent back-and-forth communication with
contractors slows decision making
Motivation
Rohan wants to spend less time on procurement research and more time on design work, while still ensuring that materials meet both aesthetic and budget requirements.
Key insights
Procurement delays contribute to nearly 20-30% of project schedule overruns, often due to slow vendor coordination and late material approvals.
Architects and project managers spend 6-10 hours per week searching for product specifications and vendor information, largely across fragmented platforms and supplier websites.
Vendor discovery is highly decentralized, with most professionals relying on personal networks, offline catalogs, or scattered online resources.
Product comparison is often conducted using manual spreadsheets, making it difficult to evaluate specifications, pricing, and availability in a standized format.
Procurement decisions require multiple stakeholder approvals, which can slow down decision-making and introduce communication delays.
Key UX problems identified
I analyzed the existing procurement workflow in AEC projects, where multiple stakeholders rely on fragmented vendor data and manual processes.
No centralized view of Project health
Problem:
Users had no single place to track budget, progress, and procurement status
Solution:
I designed the project dashboard that centralizes procurement and highlighted key features like budget overview, add products, procurement progress,etc.
Impact:
Faster decision making
Reduced dependency on spreadsheets
Improved project visibility
UI decisions & constraints
Developing global search bar was time consuming, so I had to add two search bars
Showed "products added" in table as its is easier to see a long list of 100/1000s of products in a structured way which is easy to scan
Highlighted budget & products in cards as these are the most important information

Failed Ideas
Multiple wishlists
Users could create several products wishlists as per their need
Failed because:
Created decision paralysis and it already had complicated procurement workflow
Real time notifications for every activity
Notify users for every product update, message, status change
Failed because:
Users would start ignoring alerts as there would be notification overload.
Auto suggested vendors for every product
System automatically recommends vendors for selected products
Failed because:
Users preferred manual control and there is lack of trust in recommendation
Mandatory RFQ flow for every product
Force users to request quotation before adding products to cart
Failed because:
Added friction to exploration and not all products required RFQ
Future Scope
AI based specification recommendation

Impact we made
Reached 1.24 lakh monthly active users (MAU) just after launch
30-40% reduction in manual procurement effort
~25% faster decision making in product selection
Improved task completion rates for procurement workflows
Conclusion
This project focused on simplifying complex procurement workflows by centralizing product discovery, project management, and stakeholder collaboration into one platform. The solution improved efficiency, visibility, and coordination across users, reflected in strong adoption and engagement. It strengthened my ability to design scalable, system-driven products for complex environments.
