The Challenge
One of the crucial analyses required to complete an infrastructure project is the spatial analysis that seeks to predict spatial patterns in the growth of urban systems and networks. Databout previously conducted these analyses by hand, so it was difficult to structure the process.
Databout wanted to develop an intuitive web application that would allow unifying the analysis process, and that would be much friendlier in use than Geographic Information Systems used by experts. The application was directed to both Databout’s internal users as well as outside users.
The backend containing all the algorithms and logic necessary to complete a spatial analysis was prepared by Databout’s experts. They needed, however, an outside expert to design an optimal User Experience and corresponding User Interface. That’s why they chose to partner with us.
Key challenges of the project included:
- Finding expert UX/UI designers that could structure a complex process with an intuitive interface
- Designing an interface that will find a balance between ease of use and functionality
