End-to-end Digitalization of an Industrial Vehicle Manufacturer's Operations

Developed a solution to digitalize machine-based manufacturing vehicles, currently operating on 200+ machines with a valuation of $1 million each.

The industrial vehicle optimization project started with requirements gathering, workflow development, and user stories for three user personas: the vehicle's driver, manufacturer, and buyer.

The team worked with a sealed schedule to manage and deliver the hardware, app, and website within a short time. We designed product roadmaps and implemented Scrum, Kanban, and Agile frameworks for timely development and delivery of the product, which elevated the user experience. To deliver an easy-to-use solution, we applied integrated problem-solving techniques, process efficiency, and feature storming. I managed the end-to-end implementation of the takeaways in the design and development of the autonomous vehicles.
