TrueView — Field Productivity + Safety Platform

TrueView is a platform used by pit patrollers working on the ground every day. Rio Tinto was concerned that the platform they were building wasn't ensuring the best productivity or the best safety for employees in the field. I focused on simplifying access to decision-making data and creating dashboards that help workers consume, understand, and act—faster and more safely.

The Challenge

Field teams didn't have fast access to the decision-making data they needed, and the platform risked overwhelming people with alert noise and configuration complexity. We had to make critical workflows usable in the real world—not in perfect office conditions—while improving both productivity and safety.

⛏️
Data in the Field
Make essential insights accessible quickly, even with time pressure and constraints
🔔
Alert Noise
Reduce overwhelming notifications so the right signals stand out
🛟
Safety-First Workflows
Design interfaces that support safer decisions and fewer preventable mistakes
📊
Scalable Dashboards
Create patterns that scale across use cases without adding complexity

The Concept

Together with Rio Tinto we ran a series of workshops to define the main pain points, prioritise them, and identify the use cases we would focus on throughout the project. We also defined the design principles that our design system and product designs would support.

The Solution

The solution focused on two things: first, creating an easy and functional login and registration flow. Second, defining dashboard concepts that present data so users can consume it, understand it, and work with it—making daily jobs faster and safer.

Impact

TrueView helped field teams access decision-making data faster, reduced friction in critical flows, and made the platform safer to use under real-world conditions. The dashboard concept and system patterns improved clarity without overwhelming users.
