Unified PORTAL
PROJECT
Pepsico is exploring the potential to integrate multiple applications into a unified portal.
PROBLEM
From the perspective of stakeholders, opinions vary on the feasibility and value of pursuing this initiative.
GOAL
Create a prototype that allows users to evaluate the functionality of a universal portal, where functions can potentially be shared.
Stakeholder Interviews
I initiated the process by engaging in discussions with stakeholders of various Pepsico apps to understand their vision for an app portal and to identify any potential obstacles they foresaw.
WHAT I LEARNED
Each stakeholder offering a unique perspective on their vision for a portal. However, as the discussions progressed, common talking points emerged, highlighting essential features perceived as crucial for the success of such an application.
For Users:
• The ability to see all approved apps
• The ability to request access
• The ability to modify access
For Administrators:
• The ability to approve/deny access
• The ability to set up users with varying admin functionality
ExplorationS
Following the interviews, the next step was delving into the visual representation of the app. Although I had a few initial sketches, it was time to materialize them in Figma. Naturally, I leveraged existing components within the Pepsico design system during this process.
USer View
I took the existing functionality of the apps and created a dashboard to house everything.
The inital view has:
• Your existing apps
• Access to the full catalogue of apps where you can request access
Access to the full catalogue of apps where you can request access
The "Request Access" button reveals the app access request form
Notification of a successful app request.
The "Modifying Access" button reveals the modify access form. I tried to implement consistent patterns across the app, enhancing its overall usability.
AdMIN View
Admin view required the functionality to review and approve app requests.
Clicking on any request reveal the side panel access request form
In this case access has been approved.
In this case access has been rejected.
A rejection status is sent out to
the user.
OUTCOMES
I distributed Figma prototype links to all stakeholders accompanied by a brief poll. The stakeholders collectively suggested a preference for a unified portal rather than separate apps.
