CLIMATE TECH

Your Enterprise Customers Can't Figure Out Your Portal or Your App.

That confusion is costing you pilots, renewals, and hundreds of support hours.

I help climate tech companies build dashboards, portals, and mobile apps that facility managers, fleet operators, and installers can use without training.

"Absolutely incredible. Mayank FAR exceeded our expectations in every way. The level of detail in every area was something I have never seen. The level of research he did to make informed decisions was above and beyond. We will be using him again!"

Sound Familiar?

If you're a product leader at a climate tech company, you've probably heard some of these:

"Our pilot customer's facility manager can't find reports in the dashboard. He's asking for Excel exports instead of using the portal or app."

"Our installers refuse to use the mobile app in the field. They say it's too slow and confusing. They're back to pen and paper."

"Support tickets are eating our margins. Half of them are 'how do I...' questions that the UI should answer."

"We're losing enterprise deals to competitors with worse technology but better interfaces. Our demo fell flat."

The Hidden Cost of Confusing UX

Every confused user is carbon that stays in the atmosphere. But it's also money that walks out the door:

WHY THIS MATTERS NOW

2026 Is Different. Your Customers Have Compliance Deadlines.

SEC climate disclosure rules are forcing your enterprise customers to actually use the tools you build. If they can't generate reports, they can't comply. Your portal isn't just a product feature anymore.

It's their compliance lifeline.

Deadlines Your Customers Face:

SEC
SEC Climate Disclosure Rules
Large accelerated filers: 2026 | Accelerated filers: 2027
Scope 1, 2, and material Scope 3 emissions required
EU
EU CSRD Requirements
Large EU companies: Now | US subsidiaries: 2025-2028
Double materiality reporting mandated
CA
California SB 253/261
Companies with CA operations: 2026-2028
Full emissions disclosure for $1B+ companies
SBTi
Science Based Targets initiative
Now table stakes for corporate sustainability claims
Validation requires auditable documentation

If your enterprise customers can't pull reports from your portal, they're not renewing. They're finding someone else.

Let's Fix Your Portal Before Their Deadline
THE REAL USERS

Your Users Aren't Engineers. I Design For That.

Your product was probably built by engineers, for engineers. But the people who need to use it every day have different needs:

Homeowner

Wants to go solar but gets overwhelmed by jargon and complex calculations. Needs plain language and clear next steps.

They're thinking:
"Just tell me what I'll save."

Fleet Manager

Needs clear ROI on EV charging infrastructure. Not interested in technical specs, wants operational visibility.

They're thinking:
"Can I see all sites on one screen?"

Installer

In the field all day. Needs iOS/Android apps that work offline, load fast, and don't require training. Every tap counts.

They're thinking:
"Can I do this with one hand while on a ladder?"

Facility Operator

Managing multiple sites. Needs dashboards that surface insights, not data dumps that require analysis.

They're thinking:
"Show me what needs attention today."
CASE STUDY

From 40% Pilot Activation to 96%

How a solar technology company saved their enterprise expansion by redesigning for facility managers.

BEFORE

The Problem

  • 40% of pilot users never logged in after initial onboarding
  • Dashboard designed by engineers showing raw sensor data
  • Facility managers requesting Excel exports instead of using portal
  • 120+ support tickets per month asking "how do I..."
  • Enterprise expansion deal at risk due to adoption metrics
AFTER

The Results

  • 96% activation rate at 30 days post-launch
  • Role-based dashboards for facility managers vs. analysts
  • 60% reduction in support tickets (measured over 90 days)
  • Native iOS/Android app for field technicians with offline sync
  • 6-figure expansion closed within 60 days of redesign

What Changed:

Week 1-2
User research with 8 facility managers. Identified 5 critical workflows they couldn't complete.
Week 3-4
Redesigned navigation around user tasks, not data categories. Created "daily digest" view.
Week 5-6
Built role-based permissions. Facility managers see simplified view; analysts get full data.
Week 7-8
Native iOS/Android app design. Offline capability for field access. One-tap reporting.

CLIENT RESULTS

What Clients Say

"Working with Mayank has been an absolute game-changer. We came needing clearer messaging and more professional marketing materials, and he completely transformed how we present ourselves. His ideas were creative, strategic, and perfectly aligned with our brand and audience. He hit every single deadline and often delivered more than we expected."

K
Kyle B.
Founder, Fintech Company

M
Mike
CEO, Tech Startup

"Mayank is a very strong and reliable Sr. Product Manager. He picked up multiple projects quickly with minimal direction.

Why Companies Choose This Over the Alternatives

You have options. Here's why climate tech companies keep choosing to work with me:

vs. Doing Nothing

"We'll fix it later"

Every month of confusing UX costs you pilots, renewals, and support hours. With SEC deadlines approaching, your enterprise customers can't wait for "later."

Cost of delay:
1 failed pilot = $47K avg. opportunity cost
vs. In-House Design

"Our product team can do it"

Your product team is shipping features. They don't have 6-8 weeks to run user research, test prototypes with facility managers, and iterate on enterprise dashboards.

What you get:
Dedicated focus without pulling your team off roadmap
vs. Generic Design Agency

"Let's hire an agency"

Generic agencies don't understand 12-month enterprise sales cycles, compliance requirements, or why a facility manager's workflow is different from an analyst's.

What you get:
15+ climate tech projects. I speak your language.

COMMON QUESTIONS

Questions Before We Start

"Our product team thinks they can handle this internally."

They probably can, eventually. But your product team is shipping features and fixing bugs. UX redesigns require dedicated focus for 6-8 weeks. I give you that focus without pulling your team off the roadmap. Most clients see this as augmentation, not replacement.

"We don't have budget until Q2/Q3."

That's fine. Get the free audit now so you know exactly what to prioritize when budget opens. Many clients use the audit to build their internal business case and come back 3-6 months later with budget approved.

"How do you work with our existing dev team?"

I deliver dev-ready Figma files with component specs, spacing tokens, and interaction notes. I've worked with React, Vue, and native mobile teams. I stay available during implementation to answer questions and adjust designs as engineering realities emerge.

"What if we're not happy with the direction?"

I build in review checkpoints at Week 2 (research findings), Week 4 (wireframes), and Week 6 (high-fidelity). If we're misaligned at any checkpoint, we course-correct before moving forward. I've never had a project fail a checkpoint.

"We've tried design consultants before and it didn't work."

Generic agencies don't understand climate tech's unique challenges: compliance reporting requirements, 12-month enterprise sales cycles, multi-stakeholder dashboards. I've done 15+ climate tech projects specifically. I speak your customers' language because I've interviewed hundreds of them.

"One of the best freelancers on Upwork. Everything we wanted and asked of Mayank, he over delivered. Seriously, just hire him now."
