Source to Pay Dashboards
See what matters.
The source-to-pay initiative was focused on creating a cohesive, configurable dashboard framework to unify multiple enterprise solutions into one scalable experience.
The framework was developed in close collaboration with 10 strategic customers to ensure consistency, flexibility, and real-world relevance.

The contracts dashboard serving as the foundation for shaping the overall framework.
Today, the dashboards are rigid, offer very limited configuration options, and provide inconsistent experiences across solutions in both behavior and appearance. This makes it challenging for users to track daily activities, deadlines, and cross-solution tasks.
The fragmented experience stems from company mergers, years of feature growth, siloed teams, and limited UX-driven input, resulting in disconnected user interfaces.
Additionally, workflows vary widely across industries, and the current dashboards do not offer sufficient flexibility for customization. A one-size-fits-all approach cannot meet the unique needs of each industry.
Problem Statement
Create a flexible framework that allows customers to tailor content, layouts, and widgets to their workflows, while reducing onboarding time, improving efficiency, and minimizing complexity so users can focus on the content that matters.
Expanding the framework to multiple other solutions upon customers request.
Goal and Mission
Jaggaer is a B2B SaaS platform offering a broad suite of source-to-pay solutions with complex workflows, serving multiple industries with a focus on manufacturing, higher education, and the public sector.

Targeted Solutions
At the start of this project, we recognized the importance of partnering with customers to understand the complexity of their industries. We collaborated with 10 clients across multiple verticals to ensure the dashboards were tailored to their unique workflows and needs.
We built meaningful partnerships when meeting with them monthly to gather insights. We conducted interviews, hosted feedback sessions and webinars, delivered presentations, and reviewed demos to ensure their needs and perspectives were reflected in the dashboard design.
