Timeline
3 Months (July-Sept. 2023)
The core challenge addressed by the PDR Portal was the recurring issue of duplicate reversal requests that resulted in operational inefficiencies and financial losses. Prior to this solution, manual validation processes led to significant delays and errors, causing staff to spend an estimated 20 hours per week rectifying issues, translating into potential losses of up to $50,000 annually due to financial discrepancies. The portal's design focused on creating a user-friendly interface with robust algorithms that ensure reversals are processed accurately and securely.
Through extensive user research involving interviews with 20 staff members and real-time observations of the reversal process, I identified key pain points such as difficulties in tracking duplicates and a lack of accountability. The design solution incorporated features like duplicate detection algorithms, a transaction lock mechanism, and a centralized dashboard for monitoring reversal actions. The impact was substantial: a 95% reduction in duplicate reversals was achieved within three months post-launch, leading to improved operational efficiency and boosted stakeholder confidence. Key learnings emphasized the importance of user-centered design and iterative feedback loops for continuous improvement.
