Challenge
Fresh connect approached Orangesoft with the idea of creating a sleek and easy to use mobile app focused on booking work zones with the help of NFC chips. Our major challenge was to find an elegant solution for interacting with maps. While all of the competitors use schematic maps, we wanted to reflect the real room sizes, desks’ shapes, and navigation providing users with crucial information about their workspaces.
Solution
At the heart of fresh connect is a fully interactive office map that allows users to integrate the product into their working routine easily. Our team created a delightful app with outstanding user experience helping companies build their smart offices in an enjoyable and unique way. The app includes information on the current occupancy of the room, number of seats, colleagues’ location, and by and large everything that could be helpful in a buzz meeting environment. UX and UI prototyping Our key guidelines for app design were: — to make booking easy and engaging, — to create visually pleasing and realistic maps, — to make app navigation smooth, — to use the color palette and fonts of the brand. We were given AutoCAD maps as a reference so we could design a map sample that would take into account all the objects’ dimensions and shapes and, at the same time, make them more appealing to the eye. During the design process, we suggested adding a sequence number on each desk to make the booking and finding process even easier. At this stage, we winded up creating a clickable prototype. For the administrative panel, we also used fresh connect’s color palette to align with the mobile app. We designed the panel for two roles, administrator and analyst. The administrator part was meant to be easy to handle because the administrator had to use it on a daily basis to upload and edit maps, add new employees to the system, manage bookings, and more. As for the analyst part, we were challenged to create an intuitive dashboard that would include various types of diagrams and tables displaying all the gathered information in a clear and aesthetic way
Results
Together with fresh connect, we created a solution for the offices with the revolutionized maps approach. We helped build an MVP app where the main purpose was to reduce office rental and operating costs for the companies and create a collaborative work environment with readily available information.
