XTrain

Training tools for a pizza delivery team

In 2022 I was delivering pizzas and our team ran training challenges. I built XTrain so the scores and the practice runs stopped living in chat messages.

LeaderboardsThe XT tab ranks everyone who has done all four challenges by level. Each challenge tab lists the fastest times.
Address generatorPick a store and a level, press Start, and a street comes up while the stopwatch shows who you are ahead of.

The standings lived in chat

New drivers had to learn the streets fast. We ran challenges to speed that up, but the tracking lived in chat messages and in somebody's memory. I wanted one page that always knew the standings.

Tabs and a stopwatch

XTrain Leaderboards lists the challenges as tabs. Each one ranks the workplace groups, and a row moves up when its score changes.

The Address Generator is for cross-training runs. You pick your store and Easy, Medium or Hard, and it gives you one random street at that level. A stopwatch times the run and tells you who on the board you are ahead of.

Dark and plain on purpose

I built it dark, in monospace, with big buttons. It had to read at a glance, because nobody wants to study an interface between deliveries. The generator also carries one line of real advice: be aware of customers and your surroundings.

Still online

Both tools are still online. They were small, but it was the first time I treated a problem at work as a product.
