DeWalt (a Stanley Black & Decker brand) created a sound system for their TSTAK modular storage users. TSTAK Connect Radio is a compatible job site radio and charger that offers FM, AM, DAB, and Bluetooth connectivity with a 45 Watt Output. The radio can be controlled remotely using a mobile app, allowing for complete control of the device on site as well as playing music from the smartphone library.
Designing the device user interface and a connected mobile app that controls the device to improve the experience of job-site workers who wants to control their DeWalt TSTAK® Portable Bluetooth® Radio + Charger device because they value the option of getting an entertainment solution while working and controlling it from a long distance.
As it’s the first mobile app in this category, while approaching new millennial customers, it was crucial to create a seamless and intuitive usage. We’ve created a simple pairing process, in a way the users will find it easy to use, by creating a familiar experience that incorporates new functionalities such as, quick scanning frequencies, creating lists of favorite stations, playing local library music on the device and more.
The UI of the physical device included a digitalization of the DeWalt brand that fits with the TStak Connect Radio product design. The clean UI design incorporates the products’ curvey design and works under the constraints of the relatively low-resolution screen, the long-distance of the users from the device itself, and the job site environment which sometimes may have sunlight, dust, noise and other cognitive loads.
The app made a big influence both internally (inside the organization) and externally (competitors). All the UX-related reviews received from users were great, especially about the fact that it's user-friendly.
Top user reviews:
