Me (Sole UX/UI designer) & 2-3 engineers

It can be overwhelming to have to consider many factors, such as the customer's date/time preference, location, distance, service duration, and technicians' availability, to determine a relational schedule between visits just in our heads. I spent a lot of time figuring out how to simplify these factors to help my client make faster and more stress-free decisions.

After countless tries, I opted for visualizing the appointments with 3 integrated views on one page - map, timeline, and cards - to help the users understand the details from different angles. Using effective information grouping, I was able to display all the key details without clutter or confusion for the client.

I chose blue colors to make a connection with water and cleanliness along with a few accent colors for status labels and service types. I kept the style simple to let information stand out.
