Batchly's design was inspired by the challenges of visualizing large amounts of data and understanding complex business modules. The opportunity to design both a web application and a marketing website was exciting for the team at Lollypop Design Studio. They were particularly motivated by the task of designing a dashboard that could present meaningful information in a fraction of a second, breaking the clutter typically associated with such platforms.
The design of Batchly faced three major challenges. The first was usability, ensuring that the app was easy to use and provided a seamless experience. This was achieved by grouping various functionalities together in one place and enabling editing from a single location. The second challenge was to create a visual and intelligent dashboard for administrators, which needed to be both effective and time-saving. The final challenge was the communication and positioning of Batchly through its marketing website.
The realization of Batchly involved focused group surveys and questionnaires for research, with the Sketch app used for wireframing. The Adobe suite was used by designers, while developers used JavaScript and CSS for development. The design is predominantly flat, with the introduction of gradient design in spaces to communicate its unique selling proposition and make it vibrant and cheerful.
Batchly is a multi-user system with intelligently grouped functionalities. All inputs are majorly prefilled templates to ease users in the process. All user-editable elements support pristine, error, and success states. All actions give feedback to users, with provisions for validations and message display on the same page. Controls are positionally static at all times, including state change or message display.
The project, which started in September 2016 in Bangalore and finished in November 2016, was awarded Silver in A' Mobile Technologies, Applications and Software Design Award in 2017. This award is given to top-of-the-line, creative, and professionally remarkable designs that illustrate outstanding expertise and innovation. These designs, admired for their strong technical characteristics and splendid artistic skill, showcase a remarkable level of excellence and introduce positive feelings, amazement, and wonder.
In conclusion, Lollypop Design Studio's Batchly is a testament to the power of design in simplifying complex tasks and presenting information in an effective and efficient manner. It is a shining example of how design can revolutionize the way we interact with technology, making it more accessible and user-friendly.
