Costly and Inefficient Multi-Platform Management
Nurseries and schools often rely on multiple subscription-based platforms to handle different administrative tasks, from staff scheduling to compliance tracking. This fragmented approach leads to high costs, inefficiencies, and unnecessary complexity in daily operations. Managing separate tools for attendance, payroll, communication, and regulatory compliance not only increases expenses but also creates workflow disruptions and data inconsistencies. Schools and nurseries need a unified solution that simplifies operations while maintaining compliance and efficiency.
A Unified Platform for Streamlined School & Nursery Operations
After conducting user interviews, we found that users in the sector lack confidence and often have a negative experience when interacting with software.
Therefore, it was important for us to design the software to be as simple and easy to use as possible, with a minimum number of clicks required to complete any task.
Based on our user research, we identified four main user groups for our product: Operations Managers, Nursery Managers, HR professionals, and Practitioners.
Each of these user groups has different pain points and goals, which we captured in personas. By creating these personas, we were able to better understand the needs of each user group and design our product in a way that meets their specific requirements. This helped us create a more tailored and effective user experience for each group.
By creating an effective UX information architecture for the dashboard, we were able to understand the functionality of each feature and the timeline for implementing them.
This helped us design a dashboard that includes a clear hierarchy of information and all the necessary features and functionalities.
It was a challenge to deliver features that were specific to the industry and had to comply with government regulations.
However, we were able to overcome this challenge by carefully understanding the specific needs for each feature. By taking the time to understand the unique requirements and challenges of the industry, we were able to successfully deliver high-quality features that met the needs of our users.
