The Client: "Our desktop app is outdated and frequently used by dispatchers as we grow. We need a redesign with a modern interface and new features. The iPad app should also be updated to match the new design for consistency across platforms."
Main Challenges
Outdated UI & System
The old design was disorganized, making it difficult for users to navigate efficiently. The design lacked a structured system for easy updates and future scalability.
Tight Deadline & User Transition
Towards the release of the new version, it was essential to introduce new features without confusing existing users. We had to balance the new design while avoiding a complete disruption of the current workflow.
Our Goals
Improve Experience
Created an intuitive design system that made future updates easier while optimizing user navigation across both platforms.
Optimized Performance
Enhanced system performance by aligning new features with user needs without overwhelming them.
Visual Consistency
Ensured a unified, clean design between iPad and desktop versions for better user familiarity.
