🏢 The Client

About the Client

Client identity withheld per NDA. A rapidly growing B2B SaaS platform in Singapore was acquiring new users quickly through aggressive marketing, but struggling heavily with retention due to a complex, overwhelming initial product experience.

Industry: SaaS / B2B Tech

Business Size: Scaling Startup

Target Audience: Enterprise Users & Managers
✓
Engagement Scope: UX Audit & Dashboard UI Redesign
⚠️ The Challenge

High Drop-off During Initial Onboarding

Users were logging in, feeling overwhelmed by the interface, and abandoning the platform.

"Despite a highly effective marketing funnel, the core product's dashboard was cluttered with too many options, lacking a clear hierarchy or guided onboarding flow."

The "Time to Value" (TTV) was far too long. New signups were presented with a dense data table and no clear instruction on what to do first. This friction resulted in a dismal 38% onboarding completion rate, causing high churn within the critical first 48 hours of user activation. The client needed a complete UX overhaul to simplify the journey.
