Konica Minolta: Designing the Future of Digital Company Inventory
Year
2022
Client
Konica Minolta
Konica Minolta teamed up with SNXL to elevate their asset management application — a tool for tracking company equipment from acquisition to disposal. Through iterative prototyping, design hackathons, and deep collaboration, we delivered a user-centered UX and UI solution ready for development and scaling.

The challenge
Konica Minolta needed to rethink the user experience of their digital inventory app. The existing system allowed companies to log equipment (like laptops, monitors, or even desks), assign items to employees, and manage their life cycle. But usability limitations, scattered UI components, and growing functional demands were limiting adoption and growth.
With feedback collected from IT admins and user companies, Konica Minolta had a backlog of features and ideas—but needed a partner to turn those into a clear, testable, and scalable UX/UI.

The solution
Our collaboration started with intensive design hackathons, allowing us to rapidly ideate and test two new modules:
Reservation module: Letting employees book shared items easily.
Coworking module: Offering a view of who is working where — later deprioritized after user testing.
The design process emphasized:
Rapid prototyping using Figma
Direct testing with potential users
Modular thinking, allowing flexible scaling of the UI
We built a full component library to ensure consistency across the application, and optimized layouts for mobile use. Over 6 months of continuous work—punctuated by focused sprints—we refined the interface, eliminated usability flaws, and co-created a development-ready prototype with the Konica Minolta team.
One key feature was a smart data import flow, designed to help new customers onboard quickly from spreadsheets or older systems. Inspired by desk research and validated in user testing, this workflow was built to deliver maximum utility in minimum time.
The Result: A User-Centered Prototype with a Scalable Foundation
In collaboration with Konica Minolta, SNXL delivered:
A polished, testable interactive prototype
A unified design system and Figma component library
UX/UI improvements based on real user feedback
A strong backlog and roadmap for future development
Thanks to the iterative and collaborative process—especially the hackathon format—the design team was able to regularly showcase progress and validate ideas, creating buy-in across stakeholders and setting the stage for successful implementation.
