Designing core inventory and trading features for a B2B red meat platform
About the project
PrimeXConnect is an Australian B2B platform for the red meat supply chain. Wholesalers, exporters, distributors, and food service buyers use it to manage inventory, pricing, and orders — replacing spreadsheets, emails, and WhatsApp.
Two user types — buyers and sellers — have tailored access to inventory, orders, and a Market Board where items are listed at fixed prices or offered for auction. Sales teams can plan and assign surplus stock quantities across global export markets within the platform.

Challenge
PrimeXConnect had a live product but lacked three features its users needed most: inventory management, a structured trading board, and sales planning tools. The client turned to Halo Lab expecting fast domain onboarding and UX that would integrate cleanly with a product already live in the market.
Our process
We worked inside PrimeXConnect’s existing product throughout, designing three major feature areas and building investor-grade prototypes without touching the product’s established foundation.
UX/UI Design
All design work, built on the client’s system, extended only where genuine gaps existed. Inventory, the Market Board, and sales planning each demanded distinct approaches to dense data and role logic.

Prototyping
The client needed investor-ready demos of complete workflows, not static screens. We built 4 Figma prototypes using component logic to recreate multi-step interactions across all major user journeys.

Results
- Designs adopted immediately by the client’s customer base, with no disruption to existing workflows
- Inventory management, a live trading board, and sales planning closed the product’s most critical functional gaps
- Replaced manual industry processes — spreadsheets, emails, and printed allocation meetings — that had dominated the sector for years
- Acquired by Nui Markets in December 2023, integrating into a global agricultural platform trusted by 17+ companies worldwide

Our approach
Working inside a live product, every design decision had to fit an established visual system, serve two distinct user types, and keep dense tabular data from overwhelming non-technical users.

“Working with Halo Lab felt like having a dedicated in-house team. They grasped a complex industry quickly and asked the right questions. The designs they delivered for us have been adopted with great success.”
