Problem Statement

Humancloud Technologies provides resources to clients by outsourcing work to smaller firms and their own employees. As the number of clients, partners, and projects increased, the company needed to revamp its outdated system. The new system would enable managers, outsourced employees, partners, and clients to view project progress, gain insights, and manage payments more effectively.

Goal of Project

Problem discovery

Briefing

A meeting was arranged with the CEO, project managers, and senior employees, and the current situation was briefed to the product team. The problems included :

Inefficient insights are provided to clients and partners regularly to update them about the progress
Multiple managers are required to deal with the growth of company needs.
A need for third-party tools to deal with payments.
Confusion of employees/ outsourced resources regarding projects.

Persona

Personas are created from user perspectives and the data gathered so far. This led to the creation of 2 personas which will help represent the broader user base and will help with the project.

Data collection

Since we were working with the clients, managers, and other employees at the office we could collaborate with them anytime and got constant feedback. This helped us create effective UI and we were able to obtain all data easily to optimize their experience.

The MUI design library was introduced to reuse and quickly access all the repetitive elements in the UI to work efficiently. Also, some custom components and cards were created relevant to the project. These are a few of the components used in the project.
