ONE ACERTUS is a unified customer portal that seamlessly integrates all ACERTUS products into a single platform. Previously, customers had to navigate multiple applications, each with separate logins and fragmented asset management—leading to duplicated work and inefficiencies. With ONE ACERTUS, everything is centralized, streamlining operations, reducing manual effort, and enhancing productivity.
Role: Director of UX and Design
Redefining the Customer Experience
During a period of rapid expansion, ACERTUS acquired multiple companies to broaden its service offerings. Each acquisition introduced a separate customer portal, forcing users to juggle multiple logins just to track their assets—a fragmented experience that created confusion, inefficiency, and frustration.
As Director of UX and Design, my first initiative was to audit and modernize the foundational design system which was based on Material UI components. This included updating component libraries, interaction patterns, and documentation to ensure visual consistency, accessibility, and scalability across teams and products.
Go with the flow
By analyzing both onboarding flows and post-purchase journeys, we identified critical friction points impacting new and existing customers. For existing users, we implemented a unified credential system that enabled single sign-on across platforms—streamlining access and eliminating duplicate accounts. For new users, we redesigned the registration process to prioritize early access, removing the need for extensive upfront background checks. These improvements significantly reduced user drop-off, accelerated time-to-value, and lowered support volume, while giving customers greater control over their post-purchase experience within the ACERTUS platform.
A Single Entry Point
By analyzing user behavior, we designed a unified portal that served as a single point of entry for all ACERTUS services. To reduce resistance and encourage adoption, we launched a dedicated brand experience tailored to business customers. In partnership with Marketing, we positioned the portal as a smarter, more streamlined way to manage assets—framing the transition as an upgrade, not just another system to learn.
