Redesign and Enhancement of the Management System (CMS

To meet the challenges of modern business and evolving user needs, we undertook the redesign and enhancement of the content management system (CMS). We recognized the need for advanced tools that centralize business processes and streamline the management of key functions.

This technical overhaul is built on an innovative combination of modern technologies—Flutter for the front-end and Hasura for the back-end—aimed at creating a comprehensive solution that enhances efficiency and security.

Key Components of the Redesign

1. Flutter Integration

Flutter, a leading technology for building responsive user interfaces, enabled us to create an intuitive and adaptable front-end. This tool allows seamless content management and user interactions across multiple devices, ensuring a consistent experience regardless of the platform.

The user interface has been redesigned with a strong focus on aesthetics and functionality, making application management simpler and more efficient.

2. Hasura Backend

The implementation of Hasura, a system for managing databases and back-end logic, has significantly improved performance and security. Leveraging GraphQL has enabled faster data access and more efficient handling of complex queries, further enhancing system reliability.

Hasura is an ideal solution for centralizing business processes, simplifying database management, and providing the flexibility needed for future upgrades.

3. Function Centralization

One of the core goals of the redesign was to integrate all essential functions into a unified CMS environment. This includes managing subscriptions, user statuses, and transactions, all of which are now consolidated thanks to Hasura’s advanced technology.

The need for separate platforms such as Firebase Console, Stripe Console, and various email tools has been eliminated, reducing complexity and boosting productivity.

4. Technical Synergy

The combination of Flutter and Hasura has ensured a seamless synergy of technologies that are adaptable, secure, and scalable. This integration enables more efficient development, minimizes reliance on external tools, and provides the flexibility needed to accommodate evolving user and market demands.

Redesign Outcome

The new centralized CMS solution has enhanced user experience and administrative efficiency while ensuring high technical standards of security and performance. This solution enables the client to manage business processes from a single platform, providing faster, more reliable, and more sustainable operations.

What We Changed in the CMS

New User Interface

The new user interface was designed with a focus on modern aesthetics and intuitive navigation. Visual elements, including colours, typography, and icons, have been redesigned to enhance readability and ease of use. The system menu is structured to provide quick access to key functions such as content management, subscriptions, and transactions.

Additionally, the responsive design ensures a seamless user experience across all devices, from desktops to mobile platforms.

Improved Firebase Integration

Although the system has migrated to a custom database with the Hasura platform, Firebase has been retained for user authentication. This decision has enabled faster login processing and enhanced security.

At the same time, removing the dependency on Firebase’s real-time database has provided greater flexibility and allowed the system to be tailored to the client’s specific business needs.

Enhanced Content Administration

Content management has been improved to simplify and accelerate the process of publishing and updating information. New data entry interfaces now include automatic format validation to ensure data accuracy.

Automated publishing workflows reduce the time required to implement changes, while flexible tools allow content customization for different languages and regions, which is essential for international users.

Performance and Security Optimization

Technical enhancements have significantly increased system speed and security. By optimizing backend queries and resource management, page load times have been drastically reduced, providing a smoother user experience. Security measures, including GDPR compliance, have been implemented to protect sensitive user data.

Additionally, the system now meets Google Play Store requirements, allowing for seamless user data deletion in compliance with the right to be forgotten.

New Features for Hospitality Business Owners

Hospitality business owners now have access to personalized tools within the CMS, where each venue owner receives a dedicated section. This functionality enables them to manage location-specific data, including offers, pricing, and promotions.

Furthermore, owners can export activity history in various formats, making it easier to analyse data and generate reports for better business insights and informed decision-making.

Administrative Dashboard and Data Control

A new administrative dashboard centralizes all key information in one place. Advanced filters allow sorting and searching of data based on various criteria, significantly simplifying the management of large datasets.

Fast updates and adjustments reduce the need for technical expertise, making the system more accessible to all users.

User Experience and Feedback

The CMS redesign has greatly improved the user experience, as confirmed by positive feedback. The system now offers a more intuitive interface and reduces errors, increasing reliability.

User feedback is continuously collected and analysed through error logs, enabling rapid issue resolution and further system enhancements.

Future Plans and Upgrades

Looking ahead, we plan to further automate processes to streamline workflows for users and administrators. The development of advanced analytics tools will provide deeper insights into user behaviour and application performance.

Additionally, we aim to expand CMS functionalities, including new tools for managing promotions and events, further enhancing the system’s ability to meet user and market needs.

Technical Upgrades

The technical upgrades to the CMS were designed to improve data management efficiency, user experience, and overall business performance.
