UX Renovation

Why UX Matters

An efficient UX is vital to your business's bottom line because it boosts productivity, reduces operational costs, and enhances customer satisfaction. When your team can navigate systems easily, they work faster and with fewer errors, saving you time and money. Happy customers are more likely to return, increasing sales. Plus, a user-friendly interface cuts down on the need for extensive training and support. Investing in good UX design ultimately leads to financial gains and a stronger competitive edge.

55% of Frontline Workers

In a recent survey, 55% of frontline workers indicated that they have to quickly adapt to digital solutions on the job, with no formal training.

6 Weeks Training

On average, it takes approximately 6 weeks to train users on new business systems. For ERP systems, it can be several months.

10% Lost Time

A recent study by the Harvard Business Review found that switching between apps causes users to waste nearly 4 hours a week.

We leverage the Microsoft Power Platform to innovate around the edges of SAP, Oracle, and even mainframe or home-grown business systems, effectively stretching your IT budget by extending the lifespan of your legacy systems.
