An Event Management System for the Entertainment Industry

Project overview

Our customer is a company engaged in managing business events. The company’s activity caters for thorough organization and optimization of every single aspect and hence requires software that would automate the business processes, as well as store and edit all the necessary information. Also, there was a need for a software solution to manage the customer’s extensive client base. The development of this solution was entrusted to the Andersen team.

Customer review

UX-research

The customer already had the idea of what the application design should be. However, to ensure the software is as much user-friendly as possible, our experts analyzed the provided patterns and layouts and suggested several improvements, which were accepted and implemented.

UI-system

Together with the customer, we created the most suitable interface for the business software: card-based design, burger menu, simple icons, the minimum number of buttons. As for the color palette, we used white background and shades of green, blue, and violet to make the main elements stand out.

Lists

My Team Page

This page is a kind of a contact list where the user sees representatives of the client companies. Each card contains the name, company, and position of the representative. Clicking on "Participation details", the information about the company, its area of activities, offerings, as well as contact details are shown.

My Meetings Page

This page is aimed at managing meetings. Particularly, it allows the user to book meetings with clients for themselves or another client. In the top right corner, the user can view all booked and canceled meetings, as well as sent requests that have not been confirmed yet.

Agenda

One of the most important pages of the app. Here, the user can see containers with all meetings, presentations, launches, banquets, and other events that are on the agenda. Each event card displays all the necessary information about the meeting, including the location and time needed for preparation.

Profile Page

The user profile page is simple and has only necessary tabs and buttons. Here the user sees 4 tiles: investments made, the dates of the current or upcoming event, settings, and the history of all previous events.

Event Page

After clicking on the tile with the current or upcoming event, more detailed information is available. Also, we implemented the timeline with the deadlines for activities necessary for participation, e. g. adding to the list of participants or booking the meeting.

Log In

When creating a log-in/sign-up page, we follow the principle of security and simplicity. Therefore, all the user need to start using the app is to enter email and password.

Mobile

Besides, all pages of the web application are adapted for a mobile screen, which makes the use of the product possible with any device.
