Almego

A raw, unrefined, inefficient interface limited the first versions of Almego. As UX Designer I was hired to help turn that into a professional, coherent, and effective product.

By using, maintaining and extending our custom design system in code, I redesigned basically the entire SaaS application — including critical modules and large new features — and helped deliver a more trustworthy, user-friendly, and sales-driving experience with a consistently high user satisfaction rating of 4.5 of 5.

The much improved design played a part in positioning the company for a successful 35+ million DKK acquisition by EcoOnline.

The existing print label tool proved too basic and insufficient.

Customers demanded more control, so I designed a flexible label editor for Almego — from research and concepting to tested flows and UI design.

The result, released to production, was a comprehensive, powerful environment for creating precise, customizable hazard labels based on editable templates — a feature quickly adopted by customers, helping in positioning Almego as the go-to chemical safety document solution.

(Almost) nothing matters more to customers than their beloved brand identity… 😅

So, to let customers tailor properties like logo, layout, colors and font styling — without tedious, technical code editing — I designed a fully-featured document designer with easy-to-use property panels and a real-time preview.

From research and prototypes to user-tested flows and UI design, the tool made creating, editing, and managing custom designs simple and engaging, improving usability and sales leverage while strengthening short-term retention by lowering the barrier to entry.

Users struggled to locate chemical properties at the heart of Almego: The large, cumbersome collection of nested data panels. This affected both comprehension, speed of use, and data quality.

Through exploration I created a design concept with a fixed navigation column featuring jump-links and an always-expanded tree, thus surfacing properties, improving overview, reducing clicks, and speeding up workflows.

3 of 4 test participants found the new design to be a clear improvement, responding:
'It's much better!'

Users met an inefficient document interface, appearing simple at first, but cumbersome in practice.

Through design I helped transform Almego's document management into a streamlined, well-organized system with versatile search and filtering, powerful bulk generation and quick access to the most recent, relevant documents.

This greatly improved efficiency, making it faster for users to create more documents, in turn increasing volume-based company profits.
