ABB needed a way to compare financial performance across multiple timeframes and teams. Their existing Excel-heavy workflows lacked clarity and flexibility for fast decisions.
Client Requirement
The finance team required an interactive tool to compare short- and long-term budgets, identify variance drivers, and filter key metrics by quarter or team. The goal was to reduce spreadsheet friction, enable scenario exploration, and surface insights that supported faster budget decisions.
Our Solution
We designed a multi-layered information architecture to make financial analysis faster and less error-prone. The interaction design emphasized clarity in data density, predictable drill behaviors, and immediate visual cues for outliers. We ran collaborative design reviews and performance testing to ensure dashboards stayed responsive and usable under heavy data loads.

User Interface Highlights
Comparative Dashboards – Side-by-side timeframe comparisons with synchronized filtering and anomaly highlights to speed variance analysis.
Smart Filters & Drilldowns – Context-preserving drill paths that let users move from summary KPIs into transactional detail without losing context.
Scenario Modeling & What-If Tools – Interactive sliders and snapshot comparisons for quick impact assessments.
Alerts & Collaboration Layer – Actionable flags, commentary threads, and exportable snapshots to support cross-team budget discussions.
Visual Identity
To reflect ABB’s strong enterprise identity, we designed a visual system rooted in its signature red, black, and white palette — creating high contrast and clarity across all screens. The typography and layout were kept clean and structured to support data-heavy views, while the interface elements were optimized for usability and speed. This consistent design language runs across dashboards, presentations, and product walkthroughs, helping the finance team navigate complex insights with confidence and ease.
Final Output
The solution replaced cumbersome spreadsheets with an interactive command center for budget decisions. Finance teams can now compare scenarios faster, spot performance gaps more reliably, and collaborate on corrective actions, reducing analysis time and improving budget accuracy.
