Client: Rosetta Inpharmatics (of Merck & Co.)

Challenge: Tracking dozens of incoming and outgoing shipments of temperature-controlled biological samples was becoming labor-intensive. Pixel Theory was hired to design, test, and create a database and web-based application.

Services provided: User interviews | Prototyping | Usability Testing | Web design | Database design

Results: Pixel Theory followed a user-centered design methodology to design, test, and create a database and web-based application. Rapid prototyping, HTML wireframes, and usability testing ensured that this product matched the users' expectations. Pixel Theory hired a programmer to create the database and program the design. The end result enabled automated tracking of temperature-sensitive shipments, eliminating a cumbersome, manual system.
