Overview

The Yacht Expense Tracker is a mobile app concept designed for yacht owners, operators, or crew to easily track and manage expenses during voyages. From maintenance costs to fuel, provisioning, and docking fees, the app helps streamline record-keeping and provides clear financial insights at sea.

The Challenge

Yacht owners and operators often deal with scattered logs and paper records for tracking expenses. The challenges included:

  • Lack of real-time, categorized expense tracking

  • No unified system to store receipts or logs

  • Difficult to view spending patterns or generate summaries

  • Need for an interface usable even in unstable or offline conditions

Stage 3. Design Execution

  • Wireframing: Developed over 60 wireframes for various app screens, meticulously planning each element of the user interface to ensure intuitive navigation and a seamless learning experience. These wireframes served as the foundation for the app's structure, focusing on facilitating easy access to educational content and interactive features.

  • Prototyping: Utilized advanced features in Figma to create interactive prototypes, enabling realistic user interactions. Conducted live prototype demonstrations to stakeholders, providing a tangible sense of the app's look and feel, as well as its functionality.

  • UI Design: Crafted a visually appealing and accessible user interface, selecting a color palette that promotes concentration and creativity, alongside typography that improves readability across various devices. Integrated feedback from stakeholders to refine the UI, ensuring that it not only looks appealing but also aligns with educational goals.
