Reducing friction through in-product guidance

Reducing friction through in-product guidance

Quentic serves EHS professionals managing health, safety, and compliance. The mobile app supported critical safety workflows, but many users lacked the guidance needed to confidently learn features, complete tasks, and understand system feedback.


Year

2025

Scope

Content design, UX writing, User onboarding

CHALLENGE
Learning the app required too much guesswork.
New and infrequent users often encountered unfamiliar workflows without enough context, guidance, or feedback to confidently complete their tasks.
APPROACH
Guidance built into the experience.
Rather than relying on documentation or training, I embedded support directly into key workflows through onboarding, tutorials, instructional content, and clearer system messaging.
IMPROVEMENTS
Guidance where users need it most.
Onboarding, tutorials, sign-in flows, and confirmation dialogs were redesigned to help users understand their options, avoid mistakes, and move through tasks with confidence.
OUTCOME
A more self-explanatory product.
By embedding guidance directly into workflows, users could learn the product naturally, complete tasks with confidence, and rely less on external support.
