How do User-facing Apps bring advanced technology closer to users?

The more sophisticated the technology, the simpler the interface has to be. When your core is data, hardware, or algorithms, the interaction layer often gets underbuilt. This video covers what user-facing apps need to deliver for complex technology to get full value from the people who operate it.

00:00 → 00:02

The more advanced technology becomes,

00:02 → 00:04

the more effortless it's expected to feel.

00:04 → 00:07

If your tech solution aims to simplify everyday life or work,

00:07 → 00:11

you can't have users be puzzled by the data they see or lost

00:11 → 00:14

among the features they don't need.

00:14 → 00:17

With your team fully focused on the core of your technology,

00:17 → 00:19

be it data or hardware,

00:19 → 00:22

it's easy to lose sight of how important the interaction layer

00:22 → 00:26

is for your users to get full value from your product.

00:26 → 00:30

I'm Michael, senior business analyst at Merixstudio.

00:30 → 00:31

In the next few minutes,

00:31 → 00:34

I'll tell you how to make your tech offering accessible and

00:34 → 00:37

how to unlock its potential for your users.

00:37 → 00:41

User-Facing apps are designed to become the front stage

00:41 → 00:44

software that brings out the full potential of smart

00:44 → 00:48

devices, sensor based systems, and data pipelines by making it

00:48 → 00:52

easy for your users to interact with and get value from them.

00:52 → 00:54

To give you examples, for BioCore,

00:54 → 00:58

a US based biomechanical consultancy and research

00:58 → 01:00

company working for professional sports

01:00 → 01:04

organizations, we built data analysis platforms that serve

01:04 → 01:07

to design protective gear for athletes and to quantify the

01:07 → 01:09

state of playing fields.

01:09 → 01:10

The result?

01:10 → 01:14

Four times faster data analysis for an improved focus on

01:14 → 01:18

ensuring the safety of players and high standards of grounds keeping.

01:18 → 01:21

For RP Group, a leading emergency lighting system

01:21 → 01:25

manufacturer from Germany, we built a web app that lets users

01:25 → 01:28

easily connect with the luminaires and fully manage

01:28 → 01:31

them remotely across large building complexes.

01:31 → 01:33

The interface is the control center.

01:33 → 01:36

Users need to trust it immediately,

01:36 → 01:39

find what they are looking for navigate it intuitively.

01:39 → 01:43

We decided to look for a tech partner to leverage

01:43 → 01:47

specialized UI, UX and software development

01:47 → 01:51

expertise allowing our internal team to focus on core

01:51 → 01:53

hardware and compliance.

01:53 → 01:57

We're absolutely satisfied with the results of Merixstudio's work.

01:57 → 02:00

They raised the quality of the user interface significantly,

02:00 → 02:03

a key factor for customer satisfaction.

02:03 → 02:04

Complemented by our software,

02:04 → 02:07

their system cuts inspection times by up to seven seventy

02:07 → 02:11

percent with all relevant data aggregated and right where

02:11 → 02:13

their clients need it.

02:13 → 02:14

And lastly, Farmdroid,

02:14 → 02:17

the world's first autonomous seeding robot that we equipped

02:17 → 02:20

with dedicated web and mobile apps.

02:20 → 02:23

Have a look at how it improved their user interactions.

02:23 → 02:26

The former product we used was basically a text message system

02:26 → 02:30

where people could message a robot and say start or stop.

02:30 → 02:34

So suddenly going from that to a hugely intuitive

02:34 → 02:38

and visual interface where people could monitor and access

02:38 → 02:40

their robots, it was a radical change.

02:40 → 02:43

There are many benefits to having the User-Facing part of

02:43 → 02:46

your offering built with Merixstudio.

02:46 → 02:50

First, your in house team remains undistracted in building out

02:50 → 02:54

your core technology while we take care of everything else.

02:54 → 02:57

We follow a proven delivery process and apply our risk

02:57 → 03:00

mitigation tool and security practices up to internationally

03:00 → 03:02

recognized standards.

03:02 → 03:06

Everything we built, the IP and data remain yours.

03:06 → 03:10

Second, there is no need for long and costly hiring

03:10 → 03:13

processes to onboard a new in house team.

03:13 → 03:16

With all product experts and consultants under one roof,

03:16 → 03:18

from design to development and DevOps.

03:18 → 03:21

Merixstudio teams scale to your needs and deliver market

03:21 → 03:24

ready products from start to finish.

03:24 → 03:28

And finally, we cut down on development time through the use of our own

03:28 → 03:32

boilerplates, reusable modules, and responsibly applied AI,

03:32 → 03:35

So that you don't start from scratch and may enjoy a shorter

03:35 → 03:38

time to market to jump into action quicker.

03:38 → 03:41

There are a few milestones we employ in our process to

03:41 → 03:45

achieve greater outcomes and make our work stand out.

03:45 → 03:49

We go beyond documentation, exploring devices and doing

03:49 → 03:51

field research at our clients facilities.

03:51 → 03:54

This gives us insights that are crucial to creating software

03:54 → 03:58

that resonates with its users that we rarely get from slide

03:58 → 03:59

decks or online calls.

03:59 → 04:03

We do research and usability testing on real users to make

04:03 → 04:07

sure that what we design is accessible, clear, and simple.

04:07 → 04:10

We plan our architecture and integrations early on so that

04:10 → 04:13

all data sources, APIs, sensors,

04:13 → 04:16

and platforms works together seamlessly when we're done.

04:16 → 04:20

There is real business value to be had from a properly designed

04:20 → 04:23

and built User-Facing app that acts as a point of interaction

04:23 → 04:26

between your core technology and its users.

04:26 → 04:29
