Led the redesign of Workiz’s Job Side Pane, the primary decision surface for managing jobs across the CRM. Through user surveys and behavioral insights, I simplified the interface, removed unused elements, and improved information hierarchy to enable faster, context-driven job management.

The Problem

At Workiz, the Job is the core entity of the CRM. Every workflow — scheduling, dispatching, communication, invoicing — revolves around it.


The Job Side Pane acts as a quick-view panel, allowing users to view job details, make fast decisions, update key fields, stay in context while navigating other pages (Schedule, Jobs list, Clients, etc.).


However, over time, the side pane became cluttered and overloaded with information that didn’t support quick decision-making.

Research

To avoid designing based on assumptions, we launched an in-product user survey.

Prioritization of Core Job and Client Data The most critical is related to the client and the job's logistics, while users actively use the pane to manage the job's progress.

Top 3 items to look up first

Client details, scheduled date/time, job status are the top pieces of information users look for first when opening the pane.

Underutilization of 'Tasks'

Its current placement or functionality may not align with user workflows.

Users don't update the main client info very often

The Solution

Instead of asking “What can we show here?”
We asked: “What must a dispatcher see to make a decision in under 5 seconds?”

Removed Low-Value Sections

On top of having primary information, during user interviews, we discovered that users need to view custom fields and items added to the job
