— Subsea Studio

TechnipFMC, a global leader in energy technology, developed Subsea Studio, a proprietary software platform for designing and managing subsea oil and gas infrastructure used in a sector serving major energy companies such as TotalEnergies and Shell.

To support this strategic evolution, Technip wanted to envision it as a platform designed to optimize the user experience from the ground up, defining an interface and workflow capable of making highly complex processes, ranging from project management to design tools, without compromising the technical depth required by engineers.

Challenges

- Extremely complex workflows
- Too difficult procedures
- Lack of visual hierarchy
- Minimal interface intuitiveness

Approach

1

UX Audit & Best Practice Benchmarking

In-depth analysis of the user journey across Subsea Studio
Interviews and workshops with stakeholders
Benchmarking against design patterns in technical and industrial software
Assessment of accessibility, navigation logic and UI friction points

2

Interface Redesign & System Creation

Complete rethinking of page templates, navigation flows, and hierarchy of elements
Design of modular, reusable UI components
Alignment of typo, iconography and colors for a clean, functional aesthetic
Creation of a scalable Design System, ensuring consistency across modules
