This case study delves into how Kpoikpoimingi’s innovative web-based admin platform revolutionized the company’s efficiency and empowered administrators to manage affairs seamlessly.
Meeting with the client, the founder of Kpoikpoimingi Investment Limited. He had a dream that would transform the way his business operated and elevate it to new heights. Armed with ambition, he was eager to bring his vision to life with a cutting-edge web application.
The Challenge: As I discussed with the client, I could sense his excitement and passion for his business. However, he admitted that he wasn’t the most tech-savvy person. He had a list of aspirations for the web application but emphasised one thing above all — it had to be user-friendly. He wanted something powerful yet simple, an application that even he could navigate effortlessly.
The Journey Begins: With the challenge accepted, I embarked on a journey to design a web application that would fulfill my clients needs. As I delved deeper into his requirements, we discovered that real-time sales monitoring was his top priority.
In Summary,
The Goals
The client seeks a web application that offers real-time sales monitoring, empowering them to efficiently track daily transactions and gain valuable insights into sales performance. Additionally, they aim to have a centralized customer database with relevant information for personalized customer service and targeted marketing.
What Informed my design decisions

The Design Solution
Based on user needs gained from extensive research, I answered some How might we questions and also brainstormed on ways I can make the experience seamless.
How might we
How, might we leverage customer insights from the centralized database to create personalized marketing campaigns that resonate with individual customers?
Answer: By employing an efficient customer segmentation strategy, we can analyze the centralized customer database and categorize customers based on their behavior and preferences. This valuable data will empower us to tailor our interactions with each customer, ensuring a highly personalized and engaging experience for all.
How might we streamline the process of capturing and updating customer data to ensure accurate and up-to-date customer profiles?

This streamlined approach not only saves time for administrators but also ensures that customer data remains up-to-date and reliable, enabling the team to make more informed decisions and provide a better customer experience.
After conducting a thorough analysis of the market, I identified several competitors offering similar products. With this valuable information in hand, I proceeded to craft user flows and low-fidelity wireframes for the web application. To streamline the design process, I utilized Jamboard, a collaborative online tool, to bring my creative ideas to life visually. Through this exercise, I ensured a well-informed and iterative approach, setting the foundation for a user-friendly and innovative web application.
After sketching my ideas, I created style guides, using the brand’s color palette for a cohesive and delightful user experience.
