A modular interface that the client plans to market as a product for other companies in the industry
CHALLENGES
The client developed and reinvented their devices, innovated in their field but their software was not reflecting the developing technical possibilities, it was complicated and non-intuitive.
They needed software that could help take full potential of the new hardware, a software that was usable, intuitive for the user, followed the actual user flow, helped the user make a complex process in an easy way. The new software also had to be maintainable and be a market differentiator
