Redesigning Ziptility's design system and cross-platform app

Ziptility provides operations and asset management software for small utility teams. We partnered with Ziptility to redesign their web app, cross-platform mobile app, and establish a design system to support their growing product.

Our work spanned the full product surface: the web app, the iOS and Android app, and a design system to keep everything consistent as the product evolved. We worked closely with the Ziptility team to understand the day-to-day workflows of utility operators and translate those into interfaces that are fast and easy to use in the field.

Mobile app

Field teams rely on the mobile app to manage assets and log work on site, often under pressure. We redesigned the core flows for speed and clarity on small screens.

Web app

On the desktop, the focus shifted to managing assets and operations across a whole utility. The map carries most of that weight — a utility's entire network, asset by asset — with denser views for work orders and inventory behind it.

Design system

Tying it together is a design system that keeps the web and mobile experiences consistent as the product grows, and lets the Ziptility team ship new screens faster.

“Obra helped us bring real design maturity to Ziptility. They quickly understood the constraints of our users — people working in the field, often under pressure — and built a system that works for them. The design system they established has made our entire team faster and more consistent.”
