The Sad Story of Jill’s User Experience Conundrum!
My friend Jill was complaining about her software application development project. She hired a team of developers and, as the project progressed, she realized that the app was not what she had hoped. The problem? The software user experience or, as we like to call it in the technology business: the Ux. The user experience is driven by the user interface design and should ideally, be intuitive and easy to follow so that users can browse, find what they need and, if appropriate to the business model, buy products or services.
Being a solution provider to pharma industry, importance of analytics, KPIs and ad hoc reporting capabilities were becoming more and more important to our customers. We joined hands with the Smarten team, and jointly developed the base template, and trained our implementation and support team, and now, we are self-sufficient in developing and rolling out new analytics, dashboards, KPI, and reports to our customers. The tool is so user friendly and easy to use that our customer now have started developing the report, KPI’s as per their requirement. Majorly the tool has been able to impress the apex team of the company as its ability to display lots on details on a single screen has got their attention. Using Smarten’s multi-tenant framework, we were able to move to a cloud-based solution, and provide stable, uninterrupted analytics to our customers. We are happy to work with their support team and to see continued improvements and new features in Smarten.
We are one of the leading brands in Sanitary, Faucet & Tiles industry, with a manufacturing location at Kadi and distributions across the country. We have SAP and other enterprise applications (CRM application, Payroll, etc.) and we wanted to provide 360 degree analytics not only to our HODs or CxOs or Seniors, but up to the operational level in our team. With Smarten, we have been able to integrate various enterprise systems and roll out analytics in very short time frame with highly competitive TCO, and with their compressive tools and support including support portal with knowledge base articles, ticket based supporting systems and webinars, helps us maintain high availability for our analytics.
