Pharmacy Sales Dashboard

A health plan's pharmacy team faced a weeks-long, vendor-dependent process for helping ASO clients analyze pharmacy plan changes and potential cost savings. To solve this, a data-driven application was designed for pharmacy sales associates, enabling real-time performance modeling through interactive charts, reports, and a self-service experience built on familiar internal tooling. The result transformed a multi-week process into a minutes-long workflow, accelerating client decision-making and reducing reliance on external vendors.

Problem

Pharmacy sales associates had no efficient way to support ASO client conversations around plan changes and cost savings. Pulling together analysis required weeks of manual data collection across multiple sources, leaving clients waiting and limiting the team's ability to model options or respond to questions in real time.

Strategy

I led the design of a self-service application to give associates real-time access to performance data during client conversations. To ground the work, I authored a user research plan and conducted qualitative interviews with associates to understand their workflows, data needs, and pain points — ultimately confirming early hypotheses and sharpening the requirements. Close collaboration with stakeholders and subject-matter experts ensured the solution addressed both business and user needs.

Design

The application was designed as an evolution of an existing internal tool, auditing familiar patterns to minimize the learning curve while modernizing the experience through refined typography, color, and interactions. I used storyboards to align on key user flows, then produced wireframes and interactive prototypes in Adobe XD to communicate design intent to both stakeholders and engineering. Final deliverables included high-fidelity wireframes, interactive prototypes, research synthesis, style guidance, and code references to support accurate front-end implementation.

Outcomes

Outcomes

What once took weeks now happens in minutes. Associates can model pharmacy plan impacts, visualize cost savings, and walk clients through options in real time.

  • Reduced time-to-insight from weeks to minutes, enabling real-time client conversations

  • Eliminated reliance on external vendors for analysis and reporting

  • Increased operational efficiency for pharmacy sales associates

  • Empowered clients to self-serve plan modeling and cost savings visualization

  • Supported faster, more confident decision-making for ASO healthcare clients

  • Enabled scalable, data-driven plan optimization across the business
