Freshbooks Connect is a mobile application designed to help trades businesses manage their teams and track important business metrics on the go. The app focuses on three key areas: time tracking, expense management, and mileage logging.

As the lead designer on this project, I worked closely with the development team to ensure the app was both intuitive and powerful, meeting the specific needs of our target users while maintaining consistency with the Freshbooks design system.

The main challenge was creating a mobile interface that could handle complex business operations while remaining accessible and easy to use for workers in the field. The app needed to work offline, sync data efficiently, and provide a seamless experience across different devices and operating systems.

Through extensive user research and iterative design, we developed a solution that streamlined these processes while maintaining the robustness required for business-critical operations.

The final product features an intuitive interface with smart defaults and contextual help, making it easy for users to complete tasks quickly. We implemented a robust offline mode that ensures data integrity while syncing in the background when connectivity is restored.

Key features include automated mileage tracking, receipt scanning with OCR, and intelligent time tracking that can detect job sites and suggest entries based on previous patterns.
