Door Scheduling Software
Enhance Door Scheduling
An intuitive web application automates door scheduling workflows, boosting efficiency and simplifying hardware management.
The challenge was to create a sophisticated web application that could streamline the intricate process of door scheduling in architectural projects. The system needed to handle multiple projects simultaneously, manage complex hardware sets, provide version control, and generate customized reports.
Additionally, the platform had to be user-friendly, adaptable to various project types, and capable of integrating with existing architectural workflows.
Our Approach
We developed a comprehensive solution to address the unique needs of architectural door scheduling:
Discovery & Research
- Analyzed existing door scheduling processes and their limitations.
- Studied architectural workflows to identify key improvement areas.
- Explored best practices in project management and hardware set creation.
- Investigated integration possibilities with architectural design software.
Design Thinking
- Created user personas for architects, project managers, and hardware specialists.
- Developed wireframes and prototypes focusing on intuitive project and hardware set management.
- Designed features to enhance efficiency in door scheduling and cost reporting.
- Incorporated feedback from architectural professionals through multiple iterations.
Agile Development
- Implemented rapid prototyping and iteration cycles.
- Prioritized features based on architectural industry requirements and user feedback.
- Conducted continuous testing across various project scenarios.
- Planned for scalability to accommodate growing project volumes and feature expansion.
Technology Stack
