360° Dashboard - Canadian Pacific Rail
This app is a re-theme of the SAP Customer Briefing Application. It features the latest news and events of CP and its executives. Select customers of CP Rail have the ability to view customized PDF reports within the application as well. The purpose of this project is to demonstrate the customization potential of existing SAP apps (not a live application).

Project Process Summary
Initially the goal was to re-brand the existing SAP app for CP Rail. As soon as we started using the app, we realized that the navigation needed work as well. While our graphic designer came up with a theme, I sketched out new navigation ideas and implemented them for testing. Since we were only modifying existing code, it was less time consuming to code and change, instead of our typical design-present-code-fix cycle.
As we decided on the layout and theme of our re-branded app, I sent samples to the client for feedback. I recorded videos to demonstrate the new navigation behavior. Eventually after 5-6 cycles of show-and-modify, we settled on a final design.
The most challenging part in this project was the short design-feedback cycles. Sometimes it would be in the same day! It was a great learning experience.
