OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE

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

To be honest, we’d been in a bit of a rut before reaching out to U1CORE. We’d previously worked with individual UI designers who were talented and delivered solid work, but we struggled with consistency and long-term focus. These designers often couldn’t stay engaged for extended periods, leaving us with half-finished ideas and a growing backlog of unresolved UX/UI challenges. Our product serves a wide range of users, from large enterprises to small delivery and service businesses. The complexity of our use cases was a real sticking point—imagine trying to create a design that works for someone delivering packages to homes on behalf of a major corporation *and* for the end consumer. It was clear we needed a team that could not only understand these complexities but also streamline and modernize our entire UI while introducing innovative designs for new use cases. That’s where U1CORE came in.

From the start, U1CORE approached our challenges with a methodical and thoughtful strategy. Their team began by diving deep into persona research. They reached out to real users, studied feedback from past interviews we’d conducted, and crafted a series of user personas tailored to our diverse audience. Every step was handled with precision, and they used Figma as their design tool of choice to bring their ideas to life.

As we moved forward, it became evident that some of our on-screen presentations were a bit overwhelming for users. U1CORE immediately stepped in with a brilliant suggestion: simplify. They redesigned our interfaces to convey information in a way that was not only visually appealing but also intuitive, ensuring our users could grasp key features without feeling overloaded. Their ability to balance aesthetics with functionality was nothing short of impressive.

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

Choosing U1CORE turned out to be one of the best decisions we’ve made. Their team brought so much energy and dedication to the table that it transformed the entire trajectory of our project. Not only did they thoroughly understand the complexities of our product, but they also enhanced it in ways we hadn’t considered. 

For instance, their storyboarding and feature design allowed us to present polished concepts to prospective clients with confidence. This approach wasn’t just about making our product look good—it directly impacted our bottom line by helping us close deals faster. The difference in our user experience was evident, and the positive feedback we’ve received from customers speaks volumes about U1CORE’s expertise.

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

When it comes to project management, U1CORE set the bar high. They were incredibly responsive, often addressing our questions or concerns within hours. Every milestone was communicated clearly, and deadlines were consistently met without a hitch. It was refreshing to work with a team that prioritized transparency and collaboration as much as they did execution
