NAFFCO - Galaxy UX Studio

The Challenge

NAFFCO operates a large-scale B2B e-commerce platform for firefighting equipment, fire protection systems, alarms, and safety solutions. While the platform already had wireframes and style guides in place, the overall experience lacked usability consistency and operational efficiency.

The challenge was to redesign both customer-facing and admin workflows to create a seamless enterprise-grade experience—while maintaining brand consistency, simplifying product inquiries, and improving backend operational management.

Key Pain Points

Complex navigation and unclear user journeys
Cumbersome inquiry process for pump-related products
Inconsistent visual language across experiences
Inefficient admin workflows and stock management
High friction during inquiry and order handling
Limited mobile optimization for enterprise users

Research & Discovery

User Needs & Operational Workflows

Focused on understanding how B2B customers interacted with product discovery, inquiries, and purchasing workflows while identifying operational inefficiencies for administrators.

Customer Journey Analysis:Studied inquiry behavior and product search patterns

Workflow Mapping:Identified inefficiencies in admin and sales operations

Business Alignment:Explored operational requirements and enterprise expectations

Experience & Platform Evaluation

Reviewed the existing B2B commerce platform to identify usability gaps, navigation friction, and workflow bottlenecks across customer and admin experiences.

Journey Analysis:Evaluated product discovery, inquiries, and checkout flows
