The application has low engagement within its demographic users. It also has dated UI coupled with inefficient flows making the application tasking to use.

Business Challenge

    PIDGraph was designed in grey scale making the UI very inaccessible to the users

    Use of misleading and inconsistent iconography further increasing cognitive load on the users

      Current Application State

        The current application state was in urgent need of redesign wit growing number of end users
