A business operation software designed exclusively according to a client’s need

I had a client who needed me to design a platform for their business operations. They wanted features like customer management, booking management, complex backend configurations, user role management, form creation for inspections, and financial management with tariffs and invoices. It was a challenge to design this whole system in a tight timeframe, but I was up for it!

Secondary research

Before diving into the design stage, I kicked things off with some serious detective work. Yep, I'm talking about secondary research! I delved into the inner workings of different CRM platforms, uncovering their use cases and purposes.

And let me tell you, that research was a goldmine! It gave me all the insights I needed to sprinkle in some killer features that perfectly aligned with my client's wishes. Secondary research for the win!

user persona

Creating personas in CRM platforms is essential for understanding users better, enabling personalization, and improving marketing, sales, and customer service strategies. Personas provide insights into customers' needs, preferences, and behaviours, allowing businesses to tailor their approach and communication to resonate with different customer segments.

Information Architecure

High level IA of the platform

After discussion of research and persona with the client, I developed a comprehensive Information Architecture that not only addressed our concerns but also provided clarity and direction.

Witnessing the entire software take shape was truly gratifying. The Information Architecture effectively organized, structured, and presented information, resulting in an intuitive system that enabled seamless understanding, effortless navigation, and efficient retrieval of information.
