Custom solutions built for different types of industry are characterized by a different degree of complexity. The size of a system is determined not only by the number of the processes it is supposed to streamline but also by the number of future users. A well-designed landing page will allow you to find the key data faster as well as better manage your human resources and the processes in your business. What should the main panel include so that you can get the most benefits?
Identify the key data
What is characteristic about bespoke applications is that those are perfectly tailored to meet the needs of the clients. You choose what data will be displayed when you log in to the application. When you determine which pieces of information you consider essential for you and your business, place them on the landing page, without the need to scroll down to access them. Are these the current stock levels and the number of online users or is it the number of tasks that are in the queue, pending completion, and completed? When you decide what is key for you, think about how you want it displayed. Do you prefer a table or a graph, or rather a short descriptive paragraph? Consult this with your employees who will be the future users of the software. Their suggestions will help you make the first step in your application development, which is to create a precise request for quotation. Avoid putting too many details on the landing page, as this will make it less clear. To avoid that risk, it is worth to introduce tables with scrollbars as this will make the page look concise but will also let you quickly access all the essential data.

Identify the data which is important but not absolutely essential
It is good to place that on the landing page in such a way that it can be accessed using the scrollbar. Maybe you need to see the activity of the particular users or the stock levels? Also here you are the one to prioritize certain data over the other. Here you can view e.g. a graphical representation of the production hall, which will give you an insight into the stages of an order that is being filled. The idea of this part of the landing page is to show you information that is very important but such that does not need to be accessed straight after you log in. Also in this case, when designing this part of your landing page, it is worth to speak to your employees, who will be using the application on a daily basis. Their ideas will help you find the best solutions not only for your landing page but also for the whole application. When you decide what should fall into each part of your landing page, discuss this with your Kamee advisor. With their help, you will find the most optimal solutions for viewing and editing data, that will make your application quickly improve the efficiency of your employees.
