The real problem

Small businesses clicked through 9 screens on average to issue an invoice, entering the same data again and again. A third of all support tickets asked "where did my invoice go?"

"I genuinely don't know if I'm done or if there's another screen."

Finding the fix

I mapped the whole flow end to end and three problems stood out: no sense of progress, no safety net, and screens ordered by database logic instead of how people think.

• An always-visible progress indicator
• Auto-save with real feedback
• Regrouping that cut 9 screens down to 4

What changed

Time to issue an invoice dropped from 6 minutes to 50 seconds. Tickets about lost drafts fell by 70% in the first month.
