Redesigning an ERP experience to match a luxury furniture brand
The project aimed to develop an ERP interface catering to two pivotal roles: Analysts and Reporting Managers.
To achieve this, we crafted a Design System aligned with the brand's style guide, ensuring seamless integration of high-fidelity prototypes and addressing the specific component needs for the two user flows.

Bridging elegance and technical limitations
The challenge with this client was the following: How can we redesign an ERP platform to balance the modern look and feel of an established luxury furniture brand, but at the same time strictly adhere to the foundational framework of the software company?

User Workshops - Determining Strategy
After a series of workshops with the luxury furniture brand, delving into the intricacies of their users' needs and ERP requirements. This allowed us to plan and prepare for the functional scope, essential for a seamless integration. After that, while our UX team engaged in ideating and conceptualizing the main user flows and information architecture, our UI team simultaneously crafted a design system as a response to the scope.
With both aspects completed, the moment arrived to harmoniously merge these elements into an elegant internal experience that would not only meet user needs but also reflect the brand's distinctive aesthetic seamlessly.
