This was Loadrite’s first experience working with external user experience designers and it was a big call for the organisation to make. However, our engagement with Jonathan and Steve from Purple Shirt has been fantastic. Right from the start of the project, they collaborated with us to gain a deep understanding of our users’ needs and together we have crafted a truly world class product that our customers are thrilled to use.
