Intro
From the moment I get familiar with BIM methodology (2015), I have been enchanted by it. The idea of parameterizing the design process is a solution that designers have dreaming for years.
To simplify things, so far architectural programs (CAD) have drawn lines that were only a graphic symbol of the wall. In the BIM framework, the same line transformed into a completed parameterized representation of the wall with all properties: thickness, structure, functions, etc.
Since I was working with a construction leader, I decided to use this analogy to show what benefits could be derived from using the same approach when designing new applications. This is how the idea of the platform was born.
The premise of the platform was to create one center that stored all business logic, calculations, and integrated information downloaded from various applications connected to it. The platform plan included building a set of applications that were to perform various functions. This case study will focus on two of them two of the key ones. The other two EHS and DMS have been identified in the portfolio as separate projects, because their genesis is different, although they were to be part of the platform.
Revenue - a set of closely related applications that allow you to maximize company ROI
Leasing - a tool for managing the tenant placement strategy

Background
About
Running an investment process is a very complicated task to calculate. Besides the obvious data such as running costs, purchase costs, various types of taxes, etc., time is a key component. All of these variables make calculating the ROI is a time-consuming process.
As a solution, and the acceleration of this procedure was designed Revenue app

Research
- Users are Working on a very complex Excel sheet - standardized (but with tendencies to change)
- No version control, change comparison requires Excel sheet duplication and change comparison
- File operations take uptime
- Inability to verify changes in real-time and across the organization
- All data is entered manually
- Creating investment scenarios is burdened with the possibility of irregularities
- The process of making financial decisions is multi-stage and complex
- No real possibility to be certain if a worse transaction in financial terms is worse for the entire investment (due to the dominant time factor, it does not have to be this way)
- Complex control process
- Work experience plays an important factor in the qualification of an employee, as it cannot fully rely on the timeliness of the data
Pain points
- Limited access to end users - they constantly changed their excelles due to the nature of their work
- Complex business model

App features
TIMELINE
With the visualization of the time factor, it can become a representation of the events of the investment process and time manipulation as well
BUILDING EDITOR
Building representation in the system allows for precise space management and illustrates the progress of the investment
SCENARIOS
The possibility of creating scenarios allows a real-time analysis of a larger number of investment variants. In the future, it was planned to use AI to search for the most optimal solutions.
CALCULATIONS
A key factor of the system is the ability to manipulate the calculations and manage the calculations that will contribute to the project portfolio.
Summary Platform + Revenue
S360 reached the MVP level and required further work and more complex user testing. Complete documentation was created, documentation specifying how to work on components and design guidelines. Thanks to the prepared library of design elements, it was possible to create new system elements efficient and also to modify the old ones.
The platform still required some work to reach the production level. However, due to the complex process of financial calculations - a key factor for the usefulness of the project was achieved.
High need to work with stakeholders (at the executive level) and residual access to end-users, was decided to suspend work on the platform. That leads to the decision to focus only on a part of a solution, that will deliver a quick win for the organization.
Deliverables
- Platform style guide
- User journey
- High and low fidelity mockups
- Design documentation
- Clickable prototypes
- Variations of components
Results
- Multiple versions of applications and platform were created
- A style guide has been implemented with a range of granularity of elements, from atoms to components
- The basis of the platform was created along with the design documentation
- Revenue applications (and supporting applications that supplied it with data were marked as key objectives for future development)

Leasing
Intro
In mid-2019, a decision was made to extract a Leasing app of the Revenue application. The purpose of the application was to create tools for leasing negotiators. The key workflows and business needs were identified in 2016 when I was working on a mobile application presenting the company's global portfolio. A special feature of the Leasing application was an ability to create the so-called "tenant mixes". In other words, it is a modeling of space and hence financial flow.

Summary Leasing
I strongly believed that we (as a team) will be able to put a construction company on the map of technology firms. As is the case with healthcare and other old industries.
Personally, as a trained architect, I am associated with the industry, and it was an additional motivator to fight for it. Unfortunately, the digital revolution met with the company's strategy, COVID-19, and other decisions that slowed down the pace of work. I regret that it was not possible to hand over most of the application to users so that they could experience the benefits of the platform environment. The goal was ambitious but within reach. However, not achieved fully. The experience and the lesson from building the platform are invaluable.
Deliverables
- User journey
- Wireframes
- Mockups
- Prototypes
- Styleguide
- Scenarios walkthrough
Results
- After 4 months of work, the project was prepared for developer valuation
- At the turn of the year, a decision was made to complete work on the s360 platform. Thus, the project never completed the development work
