Legacy Application
The Problem
UBL's existing portal was very slow to respond to the already logged-in users leaving them frustrated with the waiting time at the portal. UBL therefore decided to go in for a new dashboard with a brand new UI and a highly responsive system that would calm its irate clients and convert their frowns into smiles.
The Challenges
To handle a huge number of clients and their multiple business locations at the same time
Making the portal work well despite the large data handling and multiple report generation
To design screens with a new responsive layout so as to make them easily accessible from multiple devices – like phones, tablets and desktops.
Development of a number of reports and external integration of reporting services for quick, real time business analytics
Web App Objective
Mobisoft Infotech had a mandate of building a new dashboard for UBL's clients. The business owners would be able to monitor the results of their digital marketing strategies and better them. UBL's new portal would thus help businesses maximize their digital marketing and get the most out of their spends in quick time.
The MOGIC (Mobisoft Logic) – Our Approach
Our mobility excellence team worked on the complete design and development of UBL's new dashboard with reporting and listing management included.
Design
The aim was to build the portal with a fluid UI and great usability.
Development
UBL's new portal was developed with an agile method of development based on iterative and incremental development, where requirements and solutions evolved through collaboration.
