Make Complex Systems Understandable
Many functions. One clear structure.
The more powerful a system, the more functions, parameters, and settings the user interface needs to depict. Without clear information architecture, this quickly leads to being overwhelmed: users cannot find functions, do not understand connections, or use only a fraction of the actual functionality. We structure complex systems so that users can quickly understand and efficiently operate them—without sacrificing functionality.
✔ Faster understanding of complex functions
✔ Less cognitive load for the user
✔ Higher utilization of actual functionality

When the range of functions becomes overwhelming
Complex products come with complex user interfaces. In practice, this often manifests itself as follows:
Too much information at a glance – users lose track of what’s going on
Unclear navigation between function levels and menus
High cognitive load, particularly when used infrequently or intermittently
Functions are not found or are simply not used
Solution
Structure provides clarity
We bring order to complex functional scopes – through an information architecture that is based on the actual logic of use, rather than on the technical structure of the system.
A clear information architecture rather than a technically driven menu structure
Intuitive user guidance through consistent hierarchies and navigation paths
Reduced complexity on the surface, without losing any functionality
Prioritisation based on actual frequency of use and relevance
Method of Operation
Our Approach
1. Analysis —We capture the full range of functions and organize them by frequency of use and context.
2. Concept —This results in a new information architecture with clear levels and understandable paths.
3. Prototype — The new structure is made tangible as an interactive click dummy—including navigation and depth structure.
4. Testing —We check with users whether functions are found more quickly and correctly classified.
5. Implementation —The validated structure is implemented in close coordination with your development team.
