Towards the end of 2017, when our team received word that we'd be expanding from just a few stores to over 800, I began to look at the product holistically to see where and how engineering-informed design improvements could be introduced. The first step was to create a sitemap of all internal pages and note the primary user and use case. The second was to document the processes and user experience architecture for both internal- and external-facing pages. Both documents could then be used as blueprints, helping inform our team where, how, and with what design systems additional capabilities could be introduced. Feel free to zoom in for a closer look.
