Project overview

Jones is an AI-driven platform that automates compliance management for vendors and tenants in the built world.

TEAM & COLLABORATION

The team

This project was a collaborative effort between a Product Manager, Product Designer, and Full-Stack Engineer. We held weekly check-ins, maintained continuous feedback loops, and worked closely together to refine both usability and technical implementation.

My role

As a designer, I led user research, wireframing, prototyping, usability testing, and final UI design, delivering an intuitive and scalable user experience.

Problem statement

What’s the problem?

What’s the opportunity?

Property managers handle thousands of Certificates of Insurance (COIs) daily with varying compliance statuses. Many oversee dozens or even hundreds of buildings, making it nearly impossible to track such large amounts of compliance data manually. Without an efficient analytics tool, teams struggled to stay on top of compliance requirements.

Our goals for this project were to:

  • Improve operational efficiency
  • Increase compliance rate
  • Appeal to potential new customers

User interviews

Through a series of user interviews and sessions with CSMs, I gathered insights from property managers managing compliance for portfolios spanning multiple properties. I structured interviews around key questions such as:

  • How do you currently track vendor compliance across multiple properties?
  • What challenges do you face in ensuring compliance rates remain high?
  • How do you identify at-risk vendors, and what actions do you take when a vendor is non-compliant?
  • What kind of compliance insights would help you make better decisions?
  • Are there any reports or dashboards you currently use? What do you like/dislike about them?

“In one of my properties, I manage over 3,000 vendors, and to track compliance, I have to check each one manually. It’s incredibly time-consuming, and I often feel like I’m wasting time reviewing vendors who are already compliant. It would be helpful to have an indicator or a tool that highlights only the vendors that require my attention right now.”

- K., Property Manager

“My biggest challenge is keeping compliance rates high across all our properties. If vendors aren’t meeting requirements, we’re taking on unnecessary risk—and right now, I don’t even have an easy way to track that.”


-J., Property Manager

JTBD is the Why, UX Persona is the Who

Desk research

Although I had prior experience designing dashboards, I always look for new trends and best practices. By diving into articles on UX Planet, NN and Medium, I found fresh ideas that helped me refine the dashboard’s structure and usability.

Dashboards: Making Charts and Graphs Easier to Understand

Graphs — a bumpy design ride

Designing Charts — Principles Every Designer Should Know

Market research

During my competitive analysis, I evaluated platforms like NetVendor, SmartCompliance, and Enterprise Risk Control. None provided the intuitive, data-driven visualizations our users needed. Seeking inspiration, I analyzed modern data-heavy platforms like Zendesk and Mixpanel to identify best practices.

Key takeaways:

  • Compliance status rates should be visible overall and by property.
  • Collection and compliance rates should be displayed prominently at the top.
  • Filtering options for property name and status were crucial.
  • COI expiration tracking would improve renewal management.
  • Future scalability should include tabbed navigation.
Mapping & wireframes

Wireframing

To create a structured approach, I first mapped out the dashboard’s information architecture, ensuring that all key metrics were clearly structured. The goal was to create an intuitive layout that allowed property managers to quickly grasp compliance insights.

Dashboard information architecture

After defining the dashboard structure in perspective and the first phase, I made a low fidelity wireframe where I selected the required metrics for the first phase and potential additions in case the development took less time than expected.

Low-fidelity wireframe

Design challenges

During usability testing, I encountered two major challenges that required adjustments:

Page Length & Scrolling Behavior

The initial wireframe design resulted in a page that was too long, causing users to focus only on the first part of the screen (above the fold) while ignoring important metrics placed further down. To improve usability, we removed additional widgets that weren’t critical, ensuring that key insights remained within the immediate viewport.

Confusing Metrics

One of the widgets, “Collected COI vs Awaiting”, confused users. Many testers struggled to understand what the metric represented and why they were seeing it. Given the lack of clarity and its limited usefulness, we decided to remove this widget entirely, simplifying the dashboard for better comprehension.

By iterating on these findings, we optimized the wireframe layout, ensuring that the most relevant and actionable insights were prioritized, leading to a more effective and user-friendly dashboard.

High-fidelity wireframe

design

Final UI design

Once the structure was validated, I focused on refining the final UI to ensure it was both visually appealing and highly functional. My primary goal was to create an interface that not only presented compliance data effectively but also allowed for deeper investigation when needed.


  • I designed multiple widget states, including empty states to provide better UX and guide users on how to take action.

  • Success states were implemented for key metrics, ensuring positive reinforcement when compliance was maintained.

  • I developed a drill-down experience, allowing users to click on specific metrics to apply vendor filters dynamically, making it easier to pinpoint vendors requiring immediate attention.

Final dashboard design

Drill-down filtering

One of the most impactful enhancements I introduced was the drill-down experience. Rather than simply displaying compliance metrics at a high level, I allowed users to click on specific metrics to filter vendors dynamically. This feature provided a more granular level of detail by applying vendor-specific filters, including all relevant compliance conditions, so property managers could quickly focus on vendors requiring immediate attention.

Drill-down page

This interactive approach transformed the dashboard from a static analytics page into a proactive decision-making tool, giving users better control over their compliance workflows and allowing them to act quickly based on real-time insights.

Components and states

Additionally, I created design system components for all widgets, including those planned for future development phases. This ensured consistency across the dashboard while allowing for scalability and seamless integration of upcoming features.

Impact & Results

Compliance Rate
The introduction of a clear overall and property-specific compliance status led to a 12% increase in compliance rates across pilot users within the first quarter.

Operational Efficiency
With essential metrics like collection and compliance rates prominently displayed, property management teams reported a 30% reduction in time spent managing and verifying COIs.

Business Impact
Feedback from sales teams indicated that the new analytics capabilities increased product demo conversion rates by 15%, positioning Jones as a standout solution compared to competitors like NetVendor and SmartCompliance.

What’s next?

When releasing software, the goal is not to ship a “complete” product. Waiting until every desired feature is packed before releasing is a sure-fire way to mess things up. Like all projects, this one was not immune to time and personnel constraints. Thus, this initial release is missing some big ideas that we plan to add:

  • Tabs for better organization and structure
  • More detailed KPIs for Expiration, Coverage and Geography
  • Ability to export data

Final thoughts

By balancing usability, functionality, and scalability, we built a tool that not only met user needs but also drove business success. Seeing real-world impact—from increased compliance rates to improved operational efficiency—was a rewarding experience that showcased the power of thoughtful UX design in the property management space.

Desk research

Even though I have done dashboard design in the past, I always find something new in resources like Medium or UX Planet. There are always fresh, more convenient, and functional solutions that need to be taken into account.

Among the many articles on this topic, I would like to highlight the following that gave me a great deal of information:

Market research

What’s a Rich Text element?

During my competitive analysis, I discovered many compliance management tools such as NetVendor, SmartCompliance, Enterprise Risk Control, etc. However, none of them offered the comprehensive solution our users were asking for — automatic and easy to understand data visualization.

Given the lack of innovation in the property technology market, I got inspiration from more modern services like Zendesk and Mixpanel — in search of the perfect dashboard.

research & discovery

User research

To ensure our solution effectively addressed the needs of Fiverr sellers, we conducted a survey targeting different seller levels. Our goal was to identify the primary challenges sellers face, their expectations for business growth, and their interest in premium support services.

New Sellers

New sellers, those who had been on Fiverr for less than a year, expressed that their primary challenge was  attracting new clients (67%). When asked about tools that could support their success, the most frequently selected option was personalized coaching (58%), followed by marketing tools (45%).

“My biggest challenge is keeping compliance rates high across all our properties. If vendors aren’t meeting requirements, we’re taking on unnecessary risk—and right now, I don’t even have an easy way to track that.”


Level 1 & Level 2 Sellers

For Level 1 and Level 2 sellers, the top challenges shifted towards understanding business performance (52%) and setting the right price for gigs (47%). Many sellers mentioned difficulties in determining competitive yet profitable pricing.

“I wish Fiverr had better tools to show me what pricing strategies work best for my category.”

Top-Rated Sellers

The most experienced group, Top Rated Sellers, expressed less concern about attracting new clients. Instead, they focused on advanced analytics (65%) and marketing tools (58%) to scale their businesses further.

“I already have a steady client base, but I need deeper insights into customer trends and marketing performance.”

  • Basic means of success on Fiverr that sellers are not aware of, e.g. pricing and metadata.

What is the hypothesis?

If we provide an analytical dashboard where sellers can see opportunities for improvement, in combination with coaching by CSMs, we will see better performance in the marketplace in terms of quality and orders.

How will we measure success?

  • Usability of the feature
  • Retention in Seller Plus program
  • Improvement in performance

Locked features

All previously locked tabs become available after the user signs up for the program. Each tab contains filters for gigs, as well as a time interval (30-60-90 days). On the Gig performance page, the user gets information about the conversion rate, click-through rate, and a comparison with other sellers in the same business category.

Gig performance

Since Fiver has different channels and labels buyers use to find gigs, I've added relevant widgets to the Orders Breakdown page. If the seller does not have orders from some programs, this should motivate him to participate — for example, Promoted Gigs or Fiverr Business.
