WEB INTERFACES

Mobile programs and web applications that have both a user scope and business functionality, such as CRM and ERP systems, consist of several parts. Front-end – its client visual part, Back-end – the server component of the program and the database. The main part is implemented by the server side, while the Front-end is needed to interact with users through a graphical interface. To speed up the application, we create a high-quality web interface from the ready-use components of the Devias React Material Kit.

Creating business applications of the type CRM – and ERP systems , and also other programs and systems of the Enterprise-level, involves the automation of more or less standard operations. The system needs to include all the existing business logic of the company and the workflow used, including accounting, warehouse, and personnel records, as well as communication channels – from web protocols and financial transactions to e-mail, instant messengers, and telephony.

Despite the complexity and uniqueness of each business, and therefore the uniqueness of the architecture of each specific business application, the individual modules, and operations that are used in the work of the programs can be standardized.

That is why to build a web interface for business applications, you can use a ready-made set of UX / UI templates and components. AVADA MEDIA uses the Devias Kit UX / UI templates to build the application web interface. This solution makes it possible to create a beautiful, convenient, fast, and flexibly customizable web interface. At the same time, the Front-end part of the program created using the Devias Kit can be implemented as a unique design in the required corporate colors with specially created Back-end functionality and animation for the system.

Creating a program interface design is one of the most important stages of software development. It must be completed before writing program code. Errors in the structure of the user interface cannot be fixed during programming and the creation of software goes wrong as a result. At the same time, correction of defects in the UX / UI interface with subsequent reprogramming will require significant resources.

However, designing an interface is not the first step in working on a digital solution. In order to create a high-quality web interface, you need to perform system prototyping in the form of a set of mockups, flowcharts, and diagrams. A similar prototype, or software architecture of the system, should take into account all the business logic, workflow, and communication scheme in the company.

Therefore, in order to properly build a web interface and create a working prototype of a digital business system, AVADA MEDIA performs an analysis of the company’s business . The development of enterprise-level programs, including CRM and ERP systems, begins with the formation of initial requirements, which take into account:

• company’s business schemes and algorithms;
• functions and roles of certain specialists;
• channels and levels of communication, workflow, etc.

A prototype based on a business analysis becomes the skeleton that is used to build the web interface using the Devias Kit.

Devias Kit is a list of ready-to-use elements and templates . User interface elements are presented in the form of dashboards – utilities, widgets, and modules with the ability to display:

• standard icons and sample web pages;
• typical buttons and forms for entering and editing data;
• elements of business logic, such as a calendar, address or phone book, graph, or chart;

• functional elements, including an email unit, a map module, a messaging window, weather, time and date modules, etc.

Each of the elements available for use in the developed web application can be individually customized. The customer does not have to spend resources on drawing and programming a separate solution in the web interface for connecting a social network, an order management module, financial analytics tools, or a block for user authorization. At the same time, the UX / UI components of Devias Kit are fully optimized for use in web programs.

Elements from the Devias Kit can be integrated into systems created using modern digital technologies. In combination with Devias Kit, it uses the following tools:

• JavaScript – scripting language for creating web systems;
• React – JavaScript library for user interfaces of single-page applications;
• Node.js – server-side JavaScript platform;
• Next.js and Express.js – frameworks for creating the server parts of web applications;
• GraphQL – client-server query language for web applications from Facebook;
• React Relay – a framework for managing data in React applications;

• Material-UI – a framework for building a user interface for React applications;
• Styled components – a tool for managing styles of web interfaces based on React;
• React Intl – a library for localizing user interfaces from Facebook;
• Luxon – a library for working with date and time functions;
• FaunaDB is a globally distributed transactional database based on Twitter technology.
