A prototype of an in-house product can quickly prove that while subscription-based alternatives exist, they may incur ongoing costs for the company and lack the desired level of customization. In just 6 weeks, we helped our client make an informed decision about developing their own clickable prototype, tailor-made to address each bottleneck.

The Process

01

Discovery Phase

The workshops involved a scoping session and product discovery, functioning as a melting pot for cooperative decision-making, allowing an intensive exploration of the requirements and complexities of the Foreclosure Portal project. We discovered that invoice management is not the only problem that Gregory Funding wants to solve. It turned out that we also had to solve the problem of information exchange between several people involved in the foreclosure process. For this, it was necessary to create a system that tracks progress throughout the entire process, even if it spans months or years. We started with an invoicing system and ended up having to design an entire solution for managing several types of foreclosure processes for US state.
02

Design Phase

The design phase included the development of crucial elements like Information Architecture, Wireframes, high-fidelity prototype, UI design, Visual Language and the Design System, all customized for the unique requirements of the collaborative platform. The first task was to map user journeys for all actors in the process. It was important to design all information exchange points between the users in order to minimize the risk of an error which, if made, could carry legal consequences. We paid attention to statuses’ visibility, clear notification and message system, and the ability to complete tasks in more than one way, allowing adaptation to particular work styles. Team management and smooth distribution of tasks between foreclosure specialists was also a priority.

Deliverables

Wireframes

After creating detailed user flows, we started drawing the most important screens. This allowed us to verify whether we had all the necessary information and features on a given screen. Then, we combined these screens into interactive prototypes simulating the implementation of specific tasks. We identified 15 such user flows that mapped 80% of the entire application.

High Fidelity Prototype

The prototype provided a realistic experience of how the end product would function, enabling us to test the design and gather feedback before starting the actual development. It was an essential step for spotting possible problems or areas that needed further refinement in the design based on the described wireframe flows.

UI Design

Based on the wireframes, we moved forward to create UI propositions. These were more elaborate design concepts incorporating tangible visual elements of the platform like colors, typography, and graphics. Adhering to the fundamentals of a coherent design, we ensured our platform was not just functional, but also visually appealing. We developed three UI propositions, adhering to our client’s style guide.

Design System

While working on the prototype, we created a design system that allowed us to quickly create prototypes and quickly introduce changes to the components.

Business impact

The design phase enabled Gregory Funding to bring its vision of a new Foreclosure Portal to life and ready for development. It upgraded the old brand and design, helped the development team with a comprehensive design system, and defined the business roadmap by outlining the timeline, costs, and risks of the development project. The project resulted in specific savings, 40% less manpower required, and eliminated the need for external tools that generated monthly costs.

All deliverables were completed within a demanding 6-week timeframe, enabling immediate initiation of the development phases. The project laid the groundwork for a product that would significantly improve the work of lawyers, the entire internal team, and the owner, taking into account legal specificities across all states in the USA.

Gregory Funding case study highlights how 10Clouds' expertise in design and user experience can transform complex, inefficient processes into streamlined, user-friendly solutions.

By focusing on our client's specific needs and working closely with their team, 10Clouds delivered a product that not only meets but exceeds expectations, aiming at the top efficiency and collaboration in the real estate industry.
