Bliks–WorkforcePlanning&PartnerPlatform
Bliks is an enterprise B2B platform that helps companies plan their workforce and run their partner network in one place. On the operations side, teams model department sizing, shift tasks between roles, and close capacity gaps; on the partner side, resellers track client activity, licenses, and commissions. My brief: take an unusually data-heavy product and make every screen readable at a glance.
The Challenge
Enterprise operations tools tend to drown their users in data. Bliks had to hold two heavy worlds at once — workforce capacity planning (department sizing, task-role fit, FTE gaps) and partner management (client activity, licenses, commissions) — without turning into a spreadsheet with a login. The hard part was never adding features; it was making dense, interdependent numbers feel calm and decision-ready.
The System
Client activity treemap— A single colour-coded map ranks every client by activity, so a partner sees where attention is needed before reading a single number.Capacity optimizer— Sankey task-flow diagrams, capacity bars and FTE-gap math turn “do we have the people for this?” into a picture you can act on.License & commission— The reseller side — licenses, commissions, and sales potential — structured so partners manage their whole book of business without support.One quiet system— A restrained green palette, consistent cards, and a clear type hierarchy hold the product together across dashboards, tables, and flows.The Impact
A coherent design system for a genuinely complex B2B product — data-dense dashboards that stay scannable, and a visual language that scales from a high-level treemap down to a role-by-role capacity table.
The Takeaway
Complexityisn'ttheenemy—noiseis.
