Figma Sponsored Designathon - 2nd place 🥈

Prompt: You work in a busy e-commerce warehouse where orders pour in by the hundreds every hour, creating a whirlwind of activity as staff work to keep up with demand. This warehouse operates constantly. Communication is fragmented and asynchronous, creating chaos. The cycle loses efficiency as they struggle to keep up with the orders, as well as struggling to prioritize between expedited, normal, and cancel orders. This environment needs a system to integrate the needs of the whole team without relying on a rigid, linear workflow.

There are three different types of workers.

  • The pickers’ job is to navigate through inventory, which currently can take an unexpected amount of time

  • Packers receive items from pickers and prepare them for shipment. Their workflow is often disrupted by fluctuations in order volume and last-minute changes

  • Lastly, the item needs labels printed, shipments arranged, and final checks to ensure everything is right for the customer. This work is done by the shippers.

Work days are 9AM - 9PM with peak periods from 10 AM to 1 PM and 8 PM to 9 PM, where order volume can surge by 50%.

In the first 10 minutes of each hour, a preliminary demand function has found to be an accurate estimate to initial picking efforts. However, the system must continuously refine its predictions based on changing demand patterns. With fragmented communication, unpredictable workflows, and fluctuating order priorities, the team needs a flexible system to integrate their tasks in real time without a rigid workflow.

Painpoints

  • 100+ orders per hour distinguish between expedited, normal, and canceled orders

  • Communication between pickers, packers, and shippers

  • Pickers - navigate through inventory

  • Packers - receive items for shipment

  • Shippers - print labels, arrange shipments, final checks
