ForkCheck
ForkCheck is a digital rental-management system designed to replace manual paperwork with a clear mobile and desktop workflow.
01 Overview
ForkCheck is a digital tool designed for a real Israeli forklift rental business, A.R. Gurbar, based in Kfar Shmuel. The system consists of two interfaces built for two different users: a mobile app for field workers, and a desktop dashboard for office management.
02 The Problem
After speaking with the business owner, three core problems emerged: unbilled extra engine hours, fuel that wasn't returned at the same level, and no structured way to track faults.
Today, the process is entirely manual. Workers photograph paper forms and send them to the secretary, who fills in the details after the fact. The lag between the event and the record means data gets lost — extra hours go unbilled, fuel charges are missed, and faults aren't properly logged.
This is the dashboard ForkCheck was designed to replace.
03 The Solution
A digital system split across two surfaces. The mobile interface is lean — field workers use it to rent and return forklifts and check fleet status. The desktop dashboard gives the office a wider view: invoicing, rental history, fault tracking, and documents.
A key product decision: information logged at return engine hours, fuel level carries forward automatically to the next rental. Field workers enter the minimum. The system does the rest.
04 Process
The mobile flow was built around three core actions: fleet list and status, forklift rental, and forklift return.
Each action was kept focused, capturing only the information needed at that moment.
Starting from the fleet list saved a selection step, but created inconsistent behavior between available and rented forklifts.
Shortcut: forklift already selected
Final flow: clear main actions
Structuring the forms
A single-page form created too much scrolling for field use, so I split the flows into smaller steps: three steps for rental and two steps for return.
Rental flow - 3 steps
Return flow - 2 steps
05 Design System
A design system was created to support both the mobile app and desktop dashboard, keeping the product consistent, scalable, and connected to A.R. Gurbar’s existing visual identity.
Visual Direction
ForkCheck was designed for an existing Israeli forklift rental business with an existing logo and website. I used the current brand as a visual starting point, then adapted it for a digital product interface.
Color System
The original brand includes red and green. Since red felt too close to warning and error states, I reduced its use and built the interface around a deeper green palette. This kept the product connected to the existing brand, while making the interface feel calmer and more functional.
Typography
Inter was chosen as the main typeface for its clean, neutral appearance and strong readability in digital interfaces.
Buttons & Actions
Buttons were defined by action hierarchy: primary flow actions, secondary supporting actions, and two equal home-screen actions for rental and return.
Status Component
A flexible status component was created for the forklift card, with four variants: Available, Rented, Faulty, and Invoice.
Form Components
Form components were designed for fast field use, with simple inputs, clear selections, and focused steps for rental and return flows.
06 Mobile App
Field Worker Interface
The mobile app was designed for field workers who rent and return forklifts on site. The interface focuses on quick actions, clear status visibility, and simple step-by-step forms.
07 Desktop Dashboard
Office Management
The desktop dashboard was designed as the office-side management layer, turning the data collected in the field into a clear view of fleet status, open faults, pending invoices, and rental activity.
From Figma to AI-assisted prototype
Starting from my Figma dashboard design, I used AI to explore how the desktop experience could work as an interactive prototype.
This helped me develop ideas for internal forklift pages, including rental history, maintenance, documents, and key operational actions.
This project helped me turn a manual, fragmented rental process into a clearer digital workflow connecting field documentation, office management, and future product thinking.
