Describe the scope of work in detail. Please include a summary of key deliverables.

U1CORE handled the project with a clear, methodical approach that covered both the strategic and visual aspects of the redesign. They began with a deep dive into our existing platform, reviewing user behavior and identifying points where customers were getting confused or dropping off. From there, they reimagined the entire customer journey, starting with improved onboarding that helped pet owners understand exactly what they were signing up for.

They delivered a full set of wireframes that mapped out a more logical flow, followed by high-fidelity UI designs that brought a modern, clean, and approachable feel to the platform. Key deliverables included redesigned product and subscription pages, a guided meal selection process, and a user dashboard where customers could manage their orders with ease. They also created a cohesive design system that ensured consistency across all pages and made future updates easier for our team. Every element felt intentional, from how information was presented to how users were guided from one step to the next.

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

What were the measurable outcomes from the project that demonstrate progress or success?

After implementing the new design, we saw a clear improvement in how users interacted with our platform. Customers were moving through the subscription process with fewer interruptions, and we noticed a steady increase in completed sign-ups. There was also a visible reduction in customer confusion, as reflected in fewer support requests related to navigation or ordering. Returning users engaged more confidently with their accounts, making adjustments to their subscriptions without needing assistance. Overall, the experience felt more aligned with the premium nature of our product.

Working with U1CORE was a smooth and well-organized experience. They maintained consistent communication throughout the project and ensured we were always aware of progress and next steps. Deliverables were shared on schedule, and when we had feedback or required adjustments, they responded quickly and thoughtfully. Their team was receptive and adaptable, which made collaboration easy. It never felt like we were chasing updates or clarifications; everything was handled with a high level of professionalism.

What was your primary form of communication with U1CORE?

• Virtual Meeting

What did you find most impressive or unique about this company?

What stood out most was their ability to truly understand our business and translate that understanding into design decisions that made sense for our customers.

Their attention to detail, especially in guiding users through decisions like meal selection, showed a deep awareness of user behavior. They combined strategic thinking with strong design execution, which resulted in an interface that was both functional and visually engaging.

Are there any areas for improvement or something U1CORE could have done differently?

The overall experience was very positive, but one area where they could add even more value is in extending their involvement slightly beyond delivery. While the final product met our expectations, having more structured recommendations for ongoing optimization or performance tracking after launch would have been beneficial. That said, this does not take away from the quality of their work, and we would still consider them a reliable and capable partner for future projects.

OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE

What specific goals or objectives did you hire U1CORE to accomplish?

• Our goal was to create a user experience that matched the speed and directness of our service. We wanted sellers to feel confident submitting their trucks without second-guessing the process, and buyers to clearly understand how we could source vehicles on their behalf without unnecessary back-and-forth. Another key objective was to reinforce credibility. In our line of work, people are often cautious about pricing transparency and hidden fees, so we needed the design to communicate clarity, honesty, and efficiency from the very first interaction.

Describe the scope of work in detail. Please include a summary of key deliverables.

U1CORE approached the project with a strong understanding that our platform is not a traditional marketplace but more of a direct trading and sourcing service. They focused on simplifying the journey while still capturing all the necessary information required to move deals forward quickly.

They redesigned the core flows for both sellers and buyers, ensuring that each path felt tailored to its purpose. For sellers, they created a streamlined submission process that guided users step by step, making it easy to provide details about their trucks without feeling overwhelmed. The interface was structured in a way that reassured users at each stage, reinforcing that they would receive a fair and fast offer.

For buyers, U1CORE built a clear and intuitive request system where users could specify exactly what they needed. Instead of browsing endlessly, the experience emphasized direct communication and efficient sourcing, which aligns with how our service actually works in practice.

They also introduced a cleaner visual hierarchy, improved call-to-action placements, and a more modern interface that reflected professionalism and trust. The deliverables included fully redesigned user journeys, high-fidelity UI screens, mobile-responsive layouts, and interactive prototypes that allowed us to test real-world scenarios before going live. The entire system was designed to support quick decision-making while maintaining clarity throughout the process.

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

What were the measurable outcomes from the project that demonstrate progress or success?

After launching the new design, one of the first noticeable changes was how users interacted with our platform. Sellers began completing submissions more confidently, often providing more accurate and complete information upfront, which helped us respond faster with realistic offers. Buyers, on the other hand, engaged more directly with our sourcing service rather than hesitating or seeking clarification before taking action.

We also observed a shift in the type of conversations we were having with clients. Instead of explaining how the process works, we were able to focus on actual transactions much sooner. This made our operations smoother and reduced unnecessary delays.

Describe their project management. Did they deliver items on time? How did they respond to your needs?

U1CORE managed the project with a level of professionalism that made the entire experience seamless. They kept us informed at every stage, delivered work within the agreed timelines, and were highly responsive whenever we needed adjustments. What stood out was their ability to listen carefully and then come back with solutions that not only addressed our concerns but improved on our initial ideas.

What was your primary form of communication with U1CORE?

• Virtual Meeting

What did you find most impressive or unique about this company?

What impressed us most was how well they captured the nature of our business. Truck trading is straightforward but high-stakes, and they translated that into a design that feels both simple and dependable. They understood that our users don’t want complexity, they want clarity, speed, and confidence, and that understanding is evident in the final product.

Are there any areas for improvement or something U1CORE could have done differently?

If there is anything that could have been done differently, it would be the addition of more structured guidance for internal use during the transition phase. While the design itself was intuitive, having more detailed onboarding resources for our team would have made the handover even smoother. That said, U1CORE was always available to support us whenever questions came up.

Overall, working with U1CORE resulted in a platform that better reflects who we are as a business direct, efficient, and trustworthy and it has significantly improved how both sellers and buyers engage with our service.

I am the Technical Founder of NAK3D

Describe what your company does in a single sentence.

NAK3D is building the digital object layer for commerce. Every physical product that passes through NAK3D becomes more than a 3D model. It becomes a governed digital object: carrying its full commercial identity. Provenance. Material composition. Ownership. Supply chain. Sustainability data. Licensing terms. DPP compliance built in from the moment of creation.

OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE

What specific goals or objectives did you hire U1CORE to accomplish?

• Our objectives were very clear but not easy to execute. We needed a UX/UI system that could communicate three distinct offerings without confusion: enterprise-level digitisation pipelines, a self-serve product for ecommerce sellers, and a long-term vision tied to a growing digital object infrastructure. Each of these serves a different audience with different expectations.

Describe the scope of work in detail. Please include a summary of key deliverables.

U1CORE approached the project with a level of depth that aligned well with how we think internally. They didn’t jump straight into design; instead, they spent time understanding how our platform works across all layers, from enterprise workflows to the simplicity expected in NAK3D Lite. This foundation made a noticeable difference in the quality of the final output.

The scope of their work covered a full UX and UI transformation. They restructured the way our platform communicates its value, starting with clearer segmentation between our services while still maintaining a unified brand experience. For enterprise users, they designed flows that made complex processes like metadata governance, DPP readiness, and multi-platform delivery feel structured rather than overwhelming. For our Lite users, they simplified the journey significantly, focusing on speed, clarity, and ease of use, especially for users who may not have any technical background.

They also created detailed interface systems that visually communicated the relationship between 3D assets and their metadata. This was particularly important for us because the “invisible” data is actually where most of the value lies. Through thoughtful layouts, visual hierarchy, and interaction design, they made this concept much more tangible.

Key deliverables included redesigned user journeys for each product tier, high-fidelity interface designs, interactive prototypes, and a scalable design system that we can continue building on as the platform evolves. They also ensured the experience translated well across different environments, considering how our outputs integrate with platforms like Shopify, gaming engines, and other digital ecosystems.

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

What were the measurable outcomes from the project that demonstrate progress or success?

After implementing U1CORE’s work, one of the first things we noticed was how conversations with potential clients changed. Previously, we often had to spend a significant amount of time explaining what we do and why it matters. With the new experience, users began to understand our value proposition much earlier in their journey. Enterprise clients, in particular, were able to engage in more meaningful discussions because they already had a clearer picture of how our pipelines function.

On the Lite side, onboarding became much smoother. Users were able to move from curiosity to actual usage without hesitation, and feedback indicated that the process felt straightforward even for those unfamiliar with 3D or metadata concepts. Internally, our team also benefited from having a more structured interface, as it improved how we present the product during demos and client interactions.

Describe their project management. Did they deliver items on time? How did they respond to your needs?

From a project management perspective, U1CORE operated with a strong sense of accountability. Timelines were respected, and when adjustments were needed, they communicated proactively rather than reactively. Their responsiveness stood out; whenever we raised a concern or introduced a new idea, they engaged with it thoughtfully and often elevated it with their own insights rather than simply executing instructions.

What was your primary form of communication with U1CORE?

• Virtual Meeting
• Email or Messaging App

What did you find most impressive or unique about this company?

What we find most impressive is their ability to design for something that doesn’t yet fully exist in the mainstream. NAK3D is not a conventional platform, and it would have been easy to oversimplify or misrepresent it. Instead, U1CORE embraced the complexity and turned it into something structured, usable, and visually compelling without diluting the core idea.

Are there any areas for improvement or something U1CORE could have done differently?

If there is an area where they could refine their approach, it would be in providing more early-stage documentation tailored for internal alignment, especially for teams that are evolving as quickly as ours. While they were always available to support and clarify, having more structured internal guides from the outset would have helped us onboard new team members faster.

Overall, working with U1CORE felt like partnering with a team that genuinely understood both design and product thinking at a deep level. Their contribution has had a lasting impact on how we present, deliver, and scale our platform.

U1CORE took a comprehensive approach to the project, beginning with an in-depth understanding of our business model, customer behavior, and product structure. Their work covered a full UX/UI redesign, starting from user journey mapping to the creation of an entirely new interface system. They reorganized our product categories in a way that felt logical and intuitive, even for first-time users, while still accommodating the technical nature of our inventory.

They introduced advanced filtering and search functionalities that allowed users to narrow down options efficiently, which was particularly valuable for customers looking for specific sizes, materials, or product types. In addition, they developed high-fidelity prototypes that mirrored real-world usage scenarios, enabling us to test and refine the experience before implementation. The final deliverables included a fully responsive design, improved product display layouts, clearer information hierarchy, and a streamlined navigation system that made the entire platform easier to use across devices.

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

What were the measurable outcomes from the project that demonstrate progress or success?

Are there any areas for improvement or something U1CORE could have done differently?

That said, their team was always available to provide support whenever we needed it.

Overall, our experience working with U1CORE was extremely positive, and the improvements they delivered continue to enhance both our customer experience and internal efficiency.

Describe the scope of work in detail. Please include a summary of key deliverables.

U1CORE approached the engagement with a strong sense of structure and curiosity. They began by conducting discovery sessions with our internal team, which included investment leads, analysts, and operational advisors. These sessions were not superficial; they took the time to understand how we think, how we evaluate startups, and how we communicate value internally and externally.

The scope of work covered a complete UX/UI redesign of the TechNest platform. This included user journey mapping, wireframing, visual design systems, and the creation of high-fidelity prototypes. They restructured the information architecture to ensure that each audience segment founders, investors, and partners could navigate the platform effortlessly. One of the standout deliverables was a redesigned dashboard experience that allowed startups in our network to engage with our advisory resources in a more intuitive way.

They also developed a cohesive design system that aligned typography, color palettes, and interaction patterns across the platform. This was particularly important for us because consistency plays a major role in how our brand is perceived in high-stakes investment environments. U1CORE ensured that every screen, from landing pages to detailed portfolio views, felt connected and purposeful.

Throughout the process, they shared interactive prototypes that allowed us to experience the product before development. This made it easier to provide feedback and align internally, especially when presenting updates to our partners and stakeholders.

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

What were the measurable outcomes from the project that demonstrate progress or success?

The impact of U1CORE’s work became evident shortly after implementation. We observed a noticeable improvement in how users interacted with the platform. Founders navigating TechNest began spending more time exploring advisory resources and engaging with our content, which led to more meaningful conversations during onboarding. Investors and partners also responded positively, often commenting on the clarity and professionalism of the interface during initial meetings.

Internally, our team benefited from the improved structure as well. It became easier to present our portfolio and investment approach in a way that felt organized and persuasive. The redesigned dashboard reduced friction in how we interact with startups, making collaboration more efficient and aligned with our advisory model.

Describe their project management. Did they deliver items on time? How did they respond to your needs?

Their team demonstrated a strong understanding of how design influences perception, especially in the venture capital space where trust and clarity are critical.

Are there any areas for improvement or something U1CORE could have done differently?

If there is any area where they could refine their approach, it would be in providing more upfront documentation around certain design decisions. While their rationale was always clear when discussed, having more of that captured early on would have made internal alignment even smoother. That said, this did not impact the overall success of the project, and they were always willing to provide additional context when requested.
