The Company

Datapel is an Australia-based B2B warehouse management software (WMS) provider serving an international clientele of enterprises. Their platform streamlines inventory and order management with features such as real-time order tracking, inventory insights, advanced stock lookup, and accounting integrations.

As an industry leader in inventory automation, Datapel required a modernized, data-driven UI/UX overhaul that would empower users with instant data access, predictive insights, and intuitive decision-making tools.

Their Challenges

Despite its powerful backend capabilities, Datapel’s WMS faced critical challenges in UI/UX, data visualization, and performance, including:

1. Outdated and Complex UI

  • Cumbersome workflows and navigation led to user inefficiencies.
  • The system lacked cohesive UI/UX design, making interactions inconsistent across modules.

2. Inadequate Data Reporting & Forecasting

  • Limited reporting capabilities prevented users from accessing critical business insights.
  • Absence of real-time dashboards and visual indicators led to delayed decision-making.

3. Poor Data Visualization & Analytical Insights

  • Lack of graphical elements made inventory and order trends difficult to interpret.
  • Manual data processing slowed down key forecasting and tracking operations.
