A fast two week POC design to support our client's staff portal application bid.

Our client takes a comprehensive approach to New York City's economy. Grow innovative sectors, with a focus on equity; build neighbourhoods as places to live, learn, work, and play; and deliver sustainable infrastructure for communities and the city's future economy. Our client needed public-facing interface for businesses to apply for funding, submit relevant documentation, and interact with the company, as well as a back-end system for the staff to manage, review, and process these applications effectively. Time was of the essence, and the client wanted a POC to check the feasibility of the project as quickly as possible.

Design two platforms that are connected but for different purposes.

‍

Applicant Interface

Allows businesses to sign up, answerdetailed questions, upload documents,submit funding requests, and track the application status.

‍

‍Staff Interface

Allows agency staff to receive,review and process funding requests accordingly, more efficiently.

Ascendum worked hand-in-hand with the client to deliver a POC of the application in two weeks. We designed a the proof of concept and presented to our client. Collaborating closely with the client, leveraging cutting-edge technologies, and prioritizing information hierarchy, we meticulously crafted a direction that not only ensured utility and actionability, but also delivered a top-tier user experience.
