PTC Velocity is a Sales Enablement Platform, powered by SAVO Group. The goal of this project was to revamp the web UI and navigation that result in better user experience.
User Research • Prototyping • UI Design • UI Development
Though its purpose is to enable better sales process, PTC Velocity’s bad UI and poor content organization were not tailored to fit the needs of our daily users, the sales reps and partners reps.
We knew the website refresh needed to start from home. The old homepage did not serve much of its purpose. Randomly placed announcement banners and unclear buttons on top made the homepage to look confusing.
With the this project, we wanted to accomplish following goals:
To learn more about our users’ experience with the current site, we conducted user interviews and usability testing. Based on the feedbacks we collected, we were able to identify 3 major user behavior using this platform.
“When I go into Velocity, I care more about information design than pretty looking UI. As long as I can find contents as quickly as possible, the better.”
Many users struggled navigating through pages to find the right content. We needed to find the best way to make their discovery experience easy and seamless.
The design process consisted of card sorting, information architecture, task flows, and creating low-fi/high-fi wireframes.

: It has appeared in bug reports for media players like mpv , where users use 640.mp4 as a test file to demonstrate hardware acceleration or permission errors (e.g., "VT_GETMODE failed") on Linux systems. 640.mp4
On platforms like , video shortcodes often include a width parameter of 640. If a file is uploaded without a descriptive title, it may be saved or referred to by its resolution. : [video width="640" height="640" mp4="
: Some automated tools, such as the QuizGenerator FFmpeg plugin , automatically append .640.mp4 to files to indicate they have been re-encoded for smaller storage footprints (usually under 500 MB). 2. Software Debugging & Testing If a file is uploaded without a descriptive
The filename is frequently used in technical documentation as a for reproduction steps:
: Data scientists working on computer vision tasks (like golf swing analysis or object detection) often name their input test clips 640.mp4 to denote the specific resolution used for training their models. 3. CMS & Shortcode Usage
There is never a perfect design! We had a lot of positive feedbacks from our users with the redesign. Users were satisfied with cleaner UI and improved navigational experience.
However, even the new design could not satisfy our users 100%. As they continued using the tool, they faced with new sets of problems. I learned how important it is to never get fully satisfied with the design decisions and the continue the effort of iteration, which should not be an option but a habitual routine.
