Re-designing the User Experience and Interface for a SaaS CRM

As an innovative, VC funded SaaS web application, Xeus had followed a back-end-first approach to deliver functionality. The result was a highly functional web application developed by skilled programmers and software developers, but the interface was a technocratic mash-up of various UI plugins, frameworks and layouts.

The challenge

The key challenge was that the customer perception of the product is the interface. A user’s experience of the product shapes their engagement and therefore the business results. KPIs such as visitor to subscriber ratio, net-referrer scores and user attrition are crucial for a platform like Xeus.

We were commissioned to take this rapidly innovated web application and re-skin it with a new UI in a highly compressed time-scale.

Maximising space

We needed to minimise the page furniture so that the data within the system was the primary focus for the user.

Familiarity built-in

Using a range of design patterns inspired from e-commerce shops and mobile apps, we were able to create easy to understand user journeys.
