API & DATA SYNCHRONISATION
This feature allowed users to efficiently sync and update large amount of data across multiple systems, surfacing inaccuracies and help users avoid costly mistakes. This is especially convenient during the onboarding phase.
Ops managers of carbon projects often maintain multiple sources of truths.
Before this, moving data between these systems is manual, slow, repetitive and prone to human error.
The Challenge
The process of fact-checking data today is convoluted.
For example “How much volumes of credit do I have for sale, and when will it be ready?”
Multiple data sources may show conflicting values and the back and forth clarifications and investigations take time away from making important business decisions.
Our solutions needed to balance automations with the right level of user control such that users can trust the data. It also needed to make clear when inaccuracies are discovered and point them to the right course of resolution.
The Solutions
-> INTEGRATIONS AND RECONCILIATION WORKFLOW
Connect and pull data from the 3rd party registry to enable real time synchronisation. Users will be prompted when there are sync errors or unreconciled transactions.
To build fast, I reused existing table components with minor expansions. A new wizard-based interaction pattern was introduced so users can complete the tasks linearly and with focus. It was the best pattern since transactions are data dense and small in numbers.
I also focused on writing good and clear copy as it was important that users navigated each step with clarity.
-> BULK INPUT AND BULK EDIT
A CSV import modal that allows users to preview changes before import.
Rather than relying on generic failure states, the interface provided targeted, front-end validations to help users identify and fix specific issues before committing updates.
Using previews and user confirmation modals was also a means to reduce importing errors.

About carbon projects
Projects vastly vary in size, footprint and complexity, with budgets ranging from $10m for some of the smaller, agroforestry projects, to over $30bn for flagship Bio-energy projects.
Managing the credit lifecycle of a carbon project is complex and variable. Projects often have very long horizons, sometimes spanning over 40 years, with multiple phases of development starting with project design, moving through phases of validation, registration and implementation and then ending with lengthy periods where credits are issued.
