About the project

Initially a personal project, the portal evolved into a fully developed work product. It provides a streamlined experience for monitoring electricity usage, reducing friction caused by the limitations of the previous system.

What was the goal of this project?

Deliver a modern and efficient platform for tracking electricity usage and costs while ensuring compatibility with legacy infrastructure.

1. Reduce loading times for a seamless user experience
2. Improve UI/UX with an intuitive and responsive design
3. Enable real-time data updates without requiring manual refreshes
4. Ensure smooth integration with the existing legacy system

Challenges

The previous portal was outdated, slow, and lacked usability, requiring a complete rebuild while maintaining compatibility with older systems.

1. Pages took 15-25 seconds to load
2. Users had to refresh manually to see updates
3. Poorly designed UI with no focus on usability
4. Limited functionality for tracking usage and costs
5. Required a new API to connect with the legacy system

Solution

A full rebuild using Next.js and TailwindCSS, featuring a redesigned UI, real-time data updates, and a custom-built API to bridge the gap between modern and legacy systems.

Results

The new portal significantly improved user experience, reduced frustrations, and strengthened the brand’s digital presence.

1. Loading times reduced from 15-25 seconds to near-instant
2. Users can now see real-time updates without refreshing
3. Enhanced customer satisfaction and brand perception
