Orchard has been working with web-design specialists Komodo to refresh the user interface of its Promaster asset management software.
Given the widespread use of Promaster in the housing sector, the aim of Orchard’s project was to modernise the user interface (UI) while retaining the user experience (UX).
Komodo began by collating a styles art board with key stakeholders for the project, organised through Google Groups. This allowed them to produce examples of interface themes early in the project.
Using Conjure as their preferred method for design collaboration, they provided Orchard’s team with a single tool, enabling them to review individual design elements, leave specific feedback and look back across previous versions of a particular design.
After Komodo delivered the final designs for key elements of Promaster, they then worked with Orchard’s internal development team to implement the front-end ‘reskin’. Orchard also reported that following the release of the new UI to its customers, Komodo would be working with Orchard to ensure that the new UI design is consistent across its portfolio of housing software.
