Carvana Dash

Saving seven figures in OpEx with custom software

I hopped on a call in 2023 as the head of strategy, experience, and design at codelab303 to discuss a new software project with Carvana. Previous projects had been audacious, this one was...wild. As the sole research, designer, and strategist on the project, I managed to replace not just the existing mess of Google sites in use, but also a confluence license, while getting more value out of other software AND connecting a workforce of 20,000 employees.

Long story short

  • realized seven figure savings in licensing for widely used AND loathed software tools by creating a custom CMS, Intranet, and knowledge sharing platform

  • enabled an average time savings of over five minutes per person, per week…blowing our state two minute goal out of the water

  • enabled Carvana to bring visual and brand cohesion to their internal knowledge sharing and collaboration with a robust template and component gallery leveraging their design system and tokens

  • customized tooling allowed users across level of fluency with technology and digital tools to contribute regularly
