SahlPay Admin Dashboard Design and Implementation

SahlPay is a US based bill payment platform that enables users to pay utility and service bills from a single app. The client needed an internal admin dashboard to manage users, transactions, billers, and system health efficiently. My role covered end to end UIUX design and rapid product implementation using a vibe coding approach with Lovable and Supabase.

UIUX Designer and Vibe Coder

Responsibilities included user research synthesis, dashboard UX architecture, UI design in Figma, and functional implementation using Lovable with Supabase as the backend.

The client needed an admin dashboard that

Simplified complex financial operations

Reduced manual support overhead

Scaled with increasing transaction volume

Could be shipped fast without a large engineering team

Existing internal tools were fragmented and not designed for operational speed or clarity.

I started with workflow mapping to understand how admins review payments, resolve failed transactions, manage billers, and monitor system status.

Using Figma, I designed a modular dashboard with

Clear information hierarchy

Data dense but scannable layouts

Role based access considerations

Reusable UI components for scale

The focus was on reducing cognitive load while keeping critical financial data visible and actionable.

Instead of a traditional handoff to engineering, I implemented the dashboard myself using

Lovable for rapid frontend generation and logic binding

Supabase for authentication, database, and real time data

This vibe coding approach allowed me to translate design intent directly into a working product, minimizing design drift and feedback loops.

Using Lovable accelerated delivery but limited deep frontend customization compared to a fully custom React stack

Supabase provided fast setup and scalability but required careful schema planning upfront to support financial reporting needs

Some advanced admin analytics were deferred to prioritize core operational flows

These trade offs were intentional to optimize for speed to market and immediate business value.

Reduced admin task completion time through clearer workflows

Faster launch without hiring additional engineers

High design to build consistency due to designer led implementation

A scalable foundation for future analytics and automation features

The client received a production ready admin dashboard that aligned business goals with operational efficiency.

This project demonstrated how combining strong UIUX fundamentals with modern no code and low code tools can

Cut development time

Reduce costs

Improve product quality

Empower designers to ship real software
