In the initial stages of the SimpliView SAP HANA Vora Gallery project, a critical step was the development of detailed wireframes. These wireframes served as the project's blueprint, outlining the structural layout and interaction flow of the website. The design process involved:

Layout Structuring: Arranging interface elements to optimize user experience and ensure intuitive navigation.

  • Interaction Flow Mapping: Visualizing the user's journey through the website to streamline access to key features and applications.

  • Responsiveness Planning: Incorporating adaptive design elements to ensure the website's functionality across various screen sizes and devices.

  • Feedback Integration: Refining wireframes based on team input and preliminary user testing, ensuring the final design met both aesthetic and functional requirements.

Application Wireframe

  • Home Page: The entry point of the application journey where users can navigate to different sections of the site.

  • Application Features: The flowchart details several features or sections that can be accessed from the Home Page:

    • Big Data Demand Forecasting

    • Product Sentiment Analysis

    • Sales Order On-time Delivery

    • Anomaly Detection

    • Technic Predictive

    • Others

  • Information Pages: For each feature, there is an 'Information' page. This could provide users with details about the feature, how to use it, and the benefits it offers.

  • Product Demos: Adjacent to each Information page, there's a 'Product Demo' link. This suggests that users can view a demonstration of each application feature, which likely provides a hands-on, interactive experience to understand the application's capabilities.

VoraFlow Interactive Journey Map

  • User Feedback Mechanism: Integrate a system for collecting user feedback directly through the journey map. This could include quick surveys, rating systems, or comment boxes at various stages of the journey.

  • Analytics Integration: Implement analytics to track user interactions with each feature. This can provide insights into the most visited areas, the user's time spent on each page, and the overall flow efficiency.

  • Accessibility Features: Ensure that the journey map is accessible to users with disabilities. This can include keyboard navigation, screen reader compatibility, and high-contrast modes.

  • Help and Support Access Points: Offer readily available help or support options, such as live chat, help articles, or FAQ sections, accessible from within the journey map.

  • Personalization Options: Allow users to personalize their journey based on their interests or past behavior, leading to a more tailored experience.

  • Progress Indicators: Show users their progress within the application journey. This could be particularly useful for new users who are learning about the applications.

  • Multilingual Support: If your target audience is international, provide options for users to navigate the journey map in different languages.

  • Breadcrumbs: Implement a breadcrumb trail, so users can easily track and navigate to previous steps in their journey.

  • Responsive Design Check: Continuously test and update the design for responsiveness across various devices and browsers to ensure consistency in user experience.

  • Security Features: Embed robust security measures to protect user data, especially if any personal or sensitive information is being handled.

  • Onboarding Tutorial: For first-time users, an optional guided tour of the journey map could be helpful in understanding the flow and features available.

  • Optimization for Speed: Ensure that the journey map loads quickly and operates smoothly, as performance is key to user satisfaction.

  • Version Control: Keep a version history of the journey map updates, allowing users to see what's new or changed and when.

  • Social Sharing Options: Enable users to share their journey or specific features of interest on social media or with colleagues, which can also serve as organic marketing.
