About
The Houston Livestock Show and Rodeo promotes agriculture by hosting an annual, family-friendly experience that educates and entertains the public, supports Texas youth, showcases Western heritage and provides year-round educational support within the community. Internal employees work on data heavy spreadsheets that are uploaded to the website for public view, such as daily events, lineup, and shopping and dining vendors.
Problem
Data entry was a problem. By having multiple spreadsheets that do the same function was counter productive. In addition, the same data was placed in two different locations due to platform constraints.
Solution
The solution was to centralize the data into one place. The console application will host all the data and push dedicated information to either the website or the mobile app. This will leveraging the data and uniform how the data is managed.
Responsibilities
My focus was to architect the user experience for the new console platform. During the discovery phase, I created different layouts and conducted internal user interviews for research. The end goal was to design an interface that will be easy for internal employees to manage data entry and display useful analytics from the mobile app.
Results
The console solves a few problems: It centralizes data into one platform. It also makes the data easy to manage by multiple users. Lastly, it streamlines the data entry workflow.
