Nextracker had an issue with the accuracy of data and limited functionality within their shipping and tracking platform.

Future Works dove deep into the Nextracker business identifying key pain points and opportunities to enrich the shipping and tracking customer and operational experience. We designed and launched a new software platform called NxOs which will scale to upgrade the extensive customer journey.

Selling in the vision

Nextracker’s software products are one of the fastest growing business lines within the business and is largely new for it’s customers. We quickly had to demonstrate the value of a new shipping and tracking tool to c-suite through interactive prototypes.

Information architecture

The functionality and amount of data needed to be represented and activated on the platform is dense. We worked hand in hand with Nextracker’s clients and internal teams to define workflows and features that would provide efficiency, clarity and visibility on the status of material delivery.

A living system

Future Works devised an upgraded art direction and UI system to be applied through the tool bringing a new elevated look and feel to the platform. 



The visual system facilitated the easy comprehension of data and clear user paths taken by key users.

Designed to scale

Future Works developed an atomic design system which allowed for rapid product development and future extensions of the platform at large.

Out in the field

We identified a need for tablet and mobile versions of the platform to allow Nextracker and it’s customers to access the shipping and tracking tool on their devices on the field.
