Four ERP software issues that Cieden can solve

System complexity

ERP systems often overwhelm users with excessive features. We create clean interfaces and simple user experiences, focusing on what matters most. With intuitive navigation and straightforward role-based training, we make it easy for all users to navigate the system effortlessly.

Poor integration with other systems

Integrating third-party systems can disrupt user workflows and overload users with information. We unify interface design with style guides, streamline workflows, prioritize information hierarchy, and maintain consistent navigation — all for the sake of a seamless user experience.

Rigid legacy systems

Outdated ERP applications are not easy to update and modernize. We dive deep into user research to identify their pain points and suggest improvements to align interfaces with modern design standards without disrupting daily workflows.

Weak data protection

Data breaches pose significant risks to businesses, including financial losses, and loss of customer trust. We design role-based access controls, create clear authentication flows, and educate users about security best practices directly within the interface. Features like session timeouts and visual security cues keep your data secure while maintaining usability.

Complex business apps for process management

Built by people for people .

Imagine an ERP system that feels as effortless as your favorite app, keeping work processes easier and more productive.

At Cieden, we believe all ERP software solutions should be as convenient and intuitive as everyday apps — aimed to streamline workflows and simplify the work lives of employees.

That's why we dive deep into your daily operations, ensuring our designs are tailored to your specific needs. We study your users’ behaviors, pain points, and challenges to gain valuable insights into your workflows. When running usability tests, we observe and improve user interactions, allowing users to navigate and accomplish tasks even more efficiently.

Only through a holistic approach, deeply rooted in your processes and industry, can we deliver valuable ERP software designs that drive impactful change in your business.
