Overview
Flagman Oil Expert is a B2B platform that brings suppliers, distributors, and retailers together in one system. The platform covers the full supply chain flow
— from product assortment and pricing to order management, delivery, documents, and analytics.
The main goal of the project is to remove gaps between participants, reduce manual work, and make complex
B2B processes transparent and manageable even
as the business scales.

I designed Flagman Oil Expert around one principle: a well-structured system makes the interface feel simple — even when the underlying logic is complex. Role-based panels remove noise by showing each participant only what's relevant to them. Approval gates and validation rules catch problems before they become costly. And by putting all critical data within one click, I made sure users spend their time on decisions — not on finding information.
Good design here wasn't just about the interface — it was about making the whole delivery process more predictable.

The team was running the business through spreadsheets, chats, and phone calls. Every order involved manual checks, back-and-forth confirmations, and a high chance of someone working with outdated data. Pricing rules weren't documented anywhere — they lived in people's heads. The real problem wasn't a lack of tools. It was a lack of a shared source of truth.

Manage products in one click

All products, stock levels, and statuses are shown in one place. Filters and period-based sorting make it easy to work with large data sets without extra screens or manual checks


Previously, stock levels were tracked in separate spreadsheets — one per manager. I consolidated everything into a single view with real-time statuses and filters, so anyone with access can make decisions based on the same data, not their own copy of it

All product details in one view

Details and description are structured into clear sections. Instead of spreading actions across multiple screens, the card keeps decisions close to the data, making product management faster and more reliable.


I structured the product card so that the most frequent actions — checking stock, editing details, updating status — are all reachable without leaving the view. Less navigation means fewer context switches, and fewer context switches mean fewer errors

Review-first order flow

When a request comes in, the manager checks real stock availability and conditions before approving or rejecting it. This prevents over-selling, stock conflicts, and broken expectations between partners


This was a deliberate design decision: no order gets confirmed without a human check against real stock. It slows the flow down by one step — but that one step eliminates a whole class of problems: overselling, delivery conflicts, and the trust issues that follow

Track every order

All active and completed orders are grouped by status and shown in a single view. Managers can see what’s being approved, delivered, or already completed — without opening each order one by one.

Why it works?
I designed Flagman Oil Expert around one belief: if the system is smart enough, the interface can be simple. Role-based panels give each participant a focused workspace. Approval gates, stock validation and fixed pricing rules catch errors before they cost anything. And one-click access to all critical data means users spend their time deciding — not searching.
