Through the collaborative efforts and strategic execution outlined in the preceding sections, TMSFirst successfully revolutionized the logistics landscape within the oil and gas industry. The implementation of the real-time monitoring system yielded significant impacts and transformative benefits for both sand suppliers and oil pad owners.
TMSFirst's risk mitigation workflow, real-time monitoring, and streamlined order management capabilities significantly enhanced operational efficiency across the supply chain.
Seamless communication channels, automated notifications, and transparent order tracking fostered stronger relationships and trust between stakeholders, ultimately enhancing the overall customer experience.
In the vast and intricate landscape of the oil and gas industry, the logistics surrounding hydrofracking, commonly known as “Fracking”, pose unique challenges that demand innovative solutions.
Hydraulic fracturing involves injecting water, sand, and chemicals into wells to fracture underground bedrock, releasing trapped oil or gas reserves. It’s a complex process that requires meticulous coordination and management to ensure seamless operations.

TMSFirst is a Cloud-based Transport Management System that delivers extreme market competitiveness and seamlessly integrates the Global Supply Chain using embedded real-time business intelligence, operational process digitization and workflow management, and service levels.
In the dynamic landscape of logistics, traditional methods of managing transportation processes often fall short of meeting the demands of modern businesses. For TMSFirst’s client base, which includes sand suppliers serving the oil and gas industry, the challenges are particularly acute.
The manual tracking of sand deliveries to oil pads not only introduces inefficiencies but also poses significant risks to operations between the sand supplier and pad owner.
The manual tracking of sand deliveries to oil pads not only introduces inefficiencies but also poses significant risks to operations between the sand supplier and pad owner.
I aimed to address the pain points faced by sand suppliers and oil pad owners. The goal is to empower stakeholders with real-time monitoring capabilities, streamlined workflows, and predictive analytics, thereby transforming how logistics operations are managed in the industry.
Currently, the deliveries of sand to oil pads are tracked manually which does not provide the sand supplier and oil pad owner with real-time information. Sand suppliers and pad owners need to have a system in place to track orders and manage any risks associated with sand delivery.

After conducting a thorough analysis of the problem and researching user needs, I initiated the wireframing process for the two workflows. Beginning with sketches on paper, I iterated through multiple versions to refine the design. Given the nature of the solution—a real-time monitoring platform with substantial data influx—prioritizing and visualizing data correctly was paramount. This ensured users could swiftly make informed decisions based on the presented information.
In my role, I led the creation of a design system tailored to the solution’s needs, ensuring consistency across screens. Key components included a Style Guide with carefully chosen colors, typography, and icons. This system promoted coherence, scalability, and alignment with user preferences.
As a UI designer, I utilized the design system to shape the interface, focusing on a seamless user experience. Leveraging the Style Guide, I translated design principles into tangible UI elements. Each decision was driven by user insights, leading to iterative refinement and a final interface that exceeded expectations in usability and satisfaction.
In designing the UI for risk mitigation, I focused on:
Dashboard Design: Created an intuitive dashboard with visualizations and alerts.
Interactive Maps: Integrated maps for visualizing risk factors like weather and traffic.
Alert System: Implemented alerts for timely notifications of critical risks.
Collaboration Tools: Included messaging features for team coordination.
By facilitating proactive risk management, the UI ensures smooth operations.
