You could say:

With an eye toward reducing complexities, we added a smoothing step.

In this case, with an eye toward means "for the purposes of."

Merriam-Webster defines "with an eye toward" or "with an eye to" as:

  1. with awareness or contemplation of - with an eye to the future
  2. with the object of - built the house with an eye to adding on later

Here are a couple of links showing the phrase being used:

Prizes With an Eye Toward the Future
