Creating a Unified Experience
The new platform must accommodate various user groups, each with unique needs and functionalities. Consumers require a simple method to reserve spaces for community events, store managers need effective tools to oversee these reservations, and the home office needs a comprehensive overview of all store locations and their activities. These requirements were identified through user interviews, workshops, and consultations with managers, home office employees, and stakeholders.
