💻 Datwyler Platform – Web App & Dashboard Redesign

Client: Datwyler Agency: Capi Product Services: UX/UI Design · Web App Redesign · Dashboard System Timeline: May – August 2024

1. Overview

Datwyler is a Swiss technology company providing high-performance infrastructure and connectivity solutions for industrial, medical, and telecommunications sectors.
Over time, its internal web platform had grown increasingly complex, with inconsistent UI patterns across modules, making data management and monitoring harder for both engineers and administrators.
Capi Product was brought in to redesign the entire user experience and interface of the Datwyler platform, with clear objectives to:
Simplify navigation and data workflows,
Standardize the design language across all modules,
Build a modern, scalable design system to support future product expansion.
“From complex data to clear insight — our redesign made Datwyler’s platform intuitive, fast, and visually unified.”

2. Context & Challenges

The existing system contained multiple independent modules built over years by different teams. Through user research and UX audit, we identified four major pain points:
Complex navigation and fragmented structure Users had to open multiple tabs or switch modules repeatedly to locate specific datasets.
Inconsistent interface and components Each module had its own visual style, causing cognitive overload and workflow friction.
Limited scalability The old UI framework made it difficult to add new features or data types without breaking layout consistency.
Poor usability for data-heavy operations Engineers and analysts struggled with cluttered screens and dense visual noise.

3. Design Objectives

Rebuild the information architecture for faster data access and smoother task flow.
Create a clear, data-driven dashboard that highlights key system insights at a glance.
Establish visual and interaction consistency across all modules.
Develop a comprehensive design system to enable efficient scaling and developer handoff.

4. Process & Solutions

(a) Research & Insights
Conducted interviews with 10 internal users (engineers, PMs, and analysts).
Analyzed heatmaps and navigation paths — revealing that users needed 4–6 clicks to reach core data views.
Defined three key personas:
System Engineer
Maintenance Manager
Admin Analyst
(b) Information Architecture & Navigation
Consolidated platform functions into five main modules: Overview, Analytics, Devices, Maintenance, Reports.
Introduced contextual sub-navigation to reduce back-and-forth steps.
(c) UI Design & Interaction
Dashboard Overview: clean layout with real-time data visualization and geo-mapping.
Color Palette: teal and graphite gray for an industrial yet modern tone.
Typography: Inter + Roboto Mono for high numerical clarity.
Visualization System: redesigned chart components with consistent scales, legends, and alerts.
Status Indicators: standardized green / amber / red color states for health, warning, and error.
(d) Design System Development
Built a unified Figma component library with:
Navigation, Tables, Filters, Charts, Modals, Toasts.
8 interactive states for all core elements.
Created Design Tokens for colors, spacing, elevation, and radii.
Implemented Figma Variables & Auto Layout to streamline dev handoff and updates.

5. Outcomes & Impact

42% reduction in time-on-task for core operations (monitoring, data export, reporting). ✅ 60% faster development cycle when adding new modules. ✅ User satisfaction score: 8.6/10 post-launch (internal survey). ✅ Unified visual identity now adopted across Datwyler’s sub-platforms.

6. Conclusion

“The redesign wasn’t just about looks — it was about empowering users to navigate complex data effortlessly.”
This project demonstrates Capi Product’s clarity-driven design philosophy: simplify workflows, unify visuals, and translate technical data into a clear, human-centered experience.
