The new iHive UX design – for even more intuitive operation

Uncategorized,

22 December 2023

In the digital age, user-friendliness (user experience or UX for short) is a crucial factor for the success of any software. We’re excited to introduce iHive’s brand new UX design. With the main goal of improving usability and making the platform even more intuitive, iHive’s latest UX design promises to revolutionize the way facility managers manage their daily operations.

Target group in view: facility and property managers

First and foremost, we have our valued customers in mind – facility and property managers. We know that many of you are still at the beginning of your digitalization journey and the success of a new solution depends largely on the acceptance of employees and users. That’s why we’re committed to creating a design that’s easy to understand and use without sacrificing functionality.

A step into modernity

Our previous UX design was functional, but lacked a modern aesthetic in places. With the new design, we have taken a step into modernity by opting for an even cleaner and more intuitive appearance. This makes it much easier to use and ensures that users can quickly find their way around.

User-centric approach

During the development process, we followed proven industry standards for user-centered design. However, we also went one step further and paid special attention to the needs of our target group. By considering their requirements and feedback, we were able to create a design that perfectly supports our customers’ workflows.

Core functions of the new iHive UX design

  1. Clear filters: We’ve refined and customized filter options to help users find the information they need more quickly. This speeds up the search and simplifies navigation.
  2. Chronological message overview: The message history is now displayed as a clear timeline based on the Whatsapp model. This allows users to keep an overview of the communication regarding each task with the respective interlocutors involved.
  3. Clear menu navigation: Our new design offers a new, simplified view. The menu can be collapsed or expanded for a pure icon view or a labeled menu.
  4. Improved process processing: Thanks to the visual division into information area, communication area, task and attachment list, you can find the information you are looking for at a glance.
  5. Optimized for mobile devices: Because we understand that many of our customers access the solution while on the go, we have optimized the new UX design for mobile devices. This means you can easily use iHive from anywhere.

iHive as your daily companion

With iHive’s new UX design, we want to offer our customers a smooth and pleasant experience that simplifies their daily challenges as facility managers. We look forward to hearing your feedback and are committed to continually improving iHive to meet your needs.
