Azure Pools

About The Project

The Azure Pools SaaS prototype was developed after talking with several pool companies and learning more about their sales process and challenges. Our team then went to work designing a web-based application interface that simplified collaboration efforts between pool architects, designers, and customers, and from the initial concept to project completion. The Azure Pools SaaS Prototype was designed so company personnel were able to streamline operations, enhance productivity, and deliver captivating pool designs.

Challenges

While designing the Azure Pools prototype, we encountered several unique challenges. One hurdle was creating a design that showcased pools in the early design phase, as well as the final design in 3-D scale. For the web-based interface, we created a design that was aesthetically pleasing, but also user-friendly, and with easy navigation tools. The resulting prototype produced a sleek SaaS for any pool company across the country.

Key Challenges

• Balancing Act: We had to design an application that facilitated collaboration between designers, construction teams, manufacturers, and customers, with varying workflows and requirements, simultaneously.
• User-Friendly Interface: We had to create a user-friendly interface that integrated complex design tools while maintaining simplicity for users.
• Real-Time Updates: We included a framework enabling real-time updates and efficient communication between stakeholders throughout the design and construction process.
• Scalability and Adaptability: We designed a scalable SaaS application able to accommodate the evolving needs of the pool design industry.

Solution

For this prototype, we addressed the collaboration challenge by implementing a communication platform within the prototype, enabling real-time information sharing of ideas and feedback. The user interface simplified complex design processes, making the application accessible to users of all technical backgrounds. Real-time updates were managed through a cloud infrastructure and data synchronization once each design was agreed to by customers.

Key Features

• Collaborative Design Platform: Our SaaS prototype provided a platform facilitating seamless communications between designers and manufacturers.
• Intuitive User Interface: With a user-friendly interface, our SaaS prototype simplified complex designs, making it accessible to users of all technical backgrounds.
• Real-time Updates and Syncing: The application was designed to provide real-time updates and synchronization of project plans and construction requirements.
• Advanced Design Tools: We applied advanced UX/UI architecture allowing users to create detailed and realistic representations of their pool designs.
