Invertek Drives.
Putting drive setup and monitoring in installers' pockets.
Invertek Drives, global manufacturers of variable frequency drives, asked WMP to design the UI for a new partner app: a tool that lets installers set up and monitor their range of variable speed drive products from a phone. It's one of several digital projects we've worked on with Invertek over many years.

Background.
Redesigning an interface around functionality that already existed.
Invertek Drives has been manufacturing variable frequency drives since 1998, and now exports over 90% of its products to more than 80 countries.
Invertek Drives created a partner app to set up and monitor a range of their variable speed drive products. Working alongside their internal development team, we evaluated the existing UI screen-flow and redesigned an interface around the product's pre-existing functionality, rather than starting again from scratch.
The Solution.
A design process built to hand off cleanly to development.
Prototyping and testing designs before a line of code was built.
We used the latest InVision collaboration tools to create and showcase our designs, working closely with Invertek's development team throughout, then handed over design guidelines and assets for implementation during the development phase.
Building a colour scheme and icon style built to outlast this one app.
We created a brand-aligned colour scheme and icon style that could be applied across a range of future applications, giving Invertek's team a foundation to build on beyond this single release.
Let's work together
Let's partner to create brand, product, and experience solutions that move people and markets.
The impact.
A foundation Invertek could build future apps on.
The finished app gave Invertek Drives' partners a straightforward way to set up and monitor their drives from a phone, including NFC-based connection, and left the team with reusable design guidelines and a consistent icon style ready for whatever they built next.
