Cardpointe by Clover

CardPointe is a Clover reporting tool used by SMB’s to process transactions, see performance metrics and store customers, however the platform was broken and outdated on desktop, and no mobile solution existed.

We designed a guided, personalized experience that fosters intuitiveness and operational efficiency giving merchants the ability to transact with with their customers and measure performance no matter where they are.

Transact, measure performance and analyze data

We built over 450 components across 100 pages to allow merchants and business owners to navigate complex data and transact from their pocket.

A personalized dashboard that allows users to measure business performance

Giving merchants and partners a dashboard to conduct their business from, enabled them to quickly access everyday functions whilst also keeping an eye on their business performance.

A Payment Terminal at your fingertips

Even with many form fields, the design needed to feel quick and seamless. Enabling payments from the dashboard meant merchants were able to take payments within one click.

Reporting tools that let you sort, customize and filter data

Complex tables of information needed to not just be accessible but also ‘delightful’ on the mobile app.

A powerful global search that filters heavy data sets

Given the different data sets that needed to be found, users needed multiple search methods whether via categories, tags or filters, giving users numerous ways to search for their item.

User flows showed the existing site was difficult to navigate

We looked into the users of GIGA, how often they came to the site and the ways in which they accessed key information to begin to map out popular content and the paths users took to get there. Our observations concluded that the existing site was difficult to navigate, included a lot of unnecessary subpages and unexpected PDF downloads.

A complex architecture underwent a huge transformation

It was evident from initial Discovery that a new information architecture needed to be considered. The huge challenge here was that our scope was only to redesign primary pages, however, Google for Education also needed all subpages and existing content to remain on the site. 

We began to map content across the site, identifying duplicate content, content to be discussed and categorization that centered the identified users and their journeys, comprehensively developing the new site architecture.

Wireframing the platform allowed us to build components in line with any development constraints, while also strategizing interactions.

The result of our teams work, was a brand new platform that empowered its users to understand and explore how Google for Education enhances learning and digital literacy.
