Executive Summary

A multinational, privately-held seller of heavy construction equipment headquartered in Europe, undertook a major digitization drive and needed a UX partner capable of enterprise-scale fieldwork. Net Solutions provided UX design and consulting covering stakeholder research, ethnographic inquiry, empathy mapping, and sales process analysis to support development of a globally consistent digital sales tool.

The Challenge

With sales teams operating independently across 120 countries, the company had no consistent process, no shared insight mechanism, and no competitor benchmarking capability.

Inconsistent Global Sales Process

Sales teams in different countries operated according to their own local practices with no shared framework. The customer experience varied unpredictably depending on geography.

No Branding Enforcement

Regional teams applied their own interpretation of brand guidelines with no mechanism for standardization. Consistency across 120 markets was structurally impossible without a digital tool.

Fragmented Competitor Intelligence

No structured system existed for capturing and sharing competitor pricing and product feature data across regions. Each local team worked from their own partial picture.

Enterprise Scale Complexity

Gathering and validating requirements across an organization of this scale required cross-continental fieldwork. Standard requirements methods were insufficient for a project this distributed.

Our Approach

Net Solutions’ UX team worked on-site with the company’s stakeholders, conducting contextual inquiry into the global sales journey. Ethnographic research, stakeholder interviews, and empathy mapping were used to build a deep understanding of how sales actually worked across different regions before any design decisions were made.

The Solution

Net Solutions delivered UX strategy, research, and design consulting to support the global sales application development.

01.

Multi-Geography Stakeholder Research

Net Solutions conducted structured research across multiple countries using ethnographic and contextual inquiry methods. Findings reflected real sales behavior rather than assumptions made from headquarters.

02.

Empathy Mapping

Empathy maps were developed capturing the experiences of sales representatives and customers across the global sales journey. These gave the design team genuine insight into user needs at each touchpoint.

03.

User Journey Documentation

Detailed documentation of sales workflows across regions identified inconsistencies and structured opportunities for process standardization. The output was actionable, not theoretical.

04.

UX Framework and Recommendations

A comprehensive UX framework was produced recommending design principles and interaction patterns for a globally consistent sales experience. Internal engineering teams had a validated design direction to build to.

05.

Design Validation

Proposed designs were validated with field sales representatives across multiple geographies before being finalized. Real-world input from the people using the tool shaped the output.

Impact

The UX engagement provided the foundation for a globally consistent digital sales experience.

Process Standardization

Regional sales process inconsistencies were documented and a design framework was established to address them systematically. The company had a clear blueprint for a unified global experience.

Engineering Enablement

The UX research and design output gave internal development teams a validated, evidence-based direction to build against. The design work removed ambiguity from the engineering phase.

Extended Partnership

Net Solutions’ consultative approach and quality of delivery led to an expanded engagement covering additional digital transformation initiatives. A single project evolved into a multi-workstream relationship.
