01 — ERP · FinanceDesigned by Advorize

Finance command centre

Controllers live in this screen for the month-end close. We cut it down to the four numbers they report upward, one cash-flow chart, and the receivables they need to chase today — everything else is one click deeper.

CustomerInvoiceDueStatusAmount
What it delivers✓Faster month-end close✓Overdue cash chased from the dashboard itself✓New controllers productive with minimal training
PS
In real life · user scenarioPriya, financial controllerLeads the month-end close
Before

Spent the first week of every month pulling numbers from four reports and chasing overdue invoices by email.

With this design

Opens one screen with the four numbers she reports upward and sends overdue reminders straight from the list.

AExceptions first

Overdue receivables sit above the fold with bulk reminders, so the screen ends in an action, not a report.

BTwo colours, one meaning

Neutral for money in, accent for money out — the same rule on every chart in the product.

CKeyboard-first

⌘K reaches any invoice, vendor or report. Finance teams type faster than they click.

02 — ERP · InventoryDesigned by Advorize

Inventory & warehouse

Planners need to know what will run out before it does. Stock cover is shown in days, not units, and the bin map turns a 2,000-row spreadsheet into a picture of where the warehouse is full.

Inbound today

What it delivers✓Stock-outs prevented, not discovered✓Purchase orders raised in the same click that finds the shortage✓Receiving teams see warehouse space at a glance
KS
In real life · user scenarioKenji, inventory plannerKeeps 2,000 SKUs in stock
Before

Found out a product had run out when the pickers did.

With this design

Sees "2 days of cover" in red and raises the purchase order from the same row.

ADays of cover

"6 days left" is a decision; "412 units" is a lookup. Status chips use text and colour, never colour alone.

BReorder in the row

Raising a PO happens from the table that surfaced the shortage — no context switch into another module.

CSpatial view

The bin heat-map answers "where is there room?" for the receiving team in a glance.

03 — ERP · SalesDesigned by Advorize

Sales & distribution

One board from first quote to delivered order. Account managers see value per stage at the top of every column, and every card shows the one thing blocking it from moving right.

app.northwind.example/sales/pipeline
Sales / Pipeline

Q4 pipeline — EMEA

What it delivers✓A forecast leadership trusts, read straight off the board✓Deals unblocked faster — the blocker is on the card✓One tool for stand-ups and bulk edits
LV
In real life · user scenarioLena, account managerRuns a weekly pipeline stand-up
Before

Spent stand-ups explaining why deals were stuck instead of unsticking them.

With this design

Opens the board, sees the blocker on every card and the value per stage, and ends the meeting early.

ATotals in the header

Stage value sits on the column, so the forecast reads left to right without opening a report.

BThe blocker on the card

"Awaiting credit check" or "Stock short" tells the owner what to do next.

CBoard ⇄ list

Same data, two views — the board for stand-ups, the list for bulk edits.

04 — ERP · PeopleDesigned by Advorize

People & leave

Shift managers approve leave against real coverage. The calendar shows who is out across the next two weeks, and the request panel tells them whether approving it leaves the floor short.

What it delivers✓Leave approved without leaving shifts short✓Managers decide in seconds with coverage shown inline✓Fewer scheduling conflicts and overtime surprises
AR
In real life · user scenarioAisha, shift managerApproves leave for a 40-person floor
Before

Approved leave, then discovered the shift had no certified forklift driver that day.

With this design

Sees the coverage warning before she clicks approve, and decides in seconds.

ACoverage, not just dates

The warning ties a request to the skill it removes from the shift — the real reason managers hesitate.

BWeekends recede

Non-working days are tinted so the eye lands on the days that need staffing.

CLabelled bars

Leave type is written on the bar as well as colour-coded, so it survives print and colour-blindness.

05 — ERP · ProcurementDesigned by Advorize

Procurement approvals

An inbox for approvers. Click any request on the left — the drawer shows the budget impact and the approval chain, so a sign-off takes seconds instead of an email thread.

app.northwind.example/procurement/approvals
Procurement / Approvals

Waiting on you

What it delivers✓Approvals in seconds instead of email threads✓Budget overruns stopped before they happen✓A complete audit record for every purchase
EV
In real life · user scenarioElena, finance approverSigns off purchase requests
Before

Approved requests from email threads without knowing what was left in the budget.

With this design

Works down an approval inbox with budget impact and the approval chain beside every request.

AInbox pattern

List and detail side by side — approvers move down the queue without losing their place.

BBudget in context

Every request shows what it does to the remaining budget before anyone signs.

CVisible chain

The step tracker shows who approved, who's next, and which steps only apply above a spending threshold.

06 — ERP · MobileDesigned by Advorize

Warehouse mobile

Pickers work with gloves on and one hand free. Big targets, a scanner that's always ready, and a pick list that orders itself by walking route.

A48px minimum targets

Every tap target clears 48px so it works with work gloves and on a moving forklift.

BRoute-ordered picks

The list sorts by bin location, so the next item is always the next shelf.

COne primary action

A single full-width button at thumb height. The rest of the screen is information.

07 — ERP · LeadershipDesigned by Advorize

Executive overview

One overview, three lenses. Switch between CFO, COO and Sales views and the KPIs change to what that role reports on — try it. AI-written insights on the right explain the movement and link to the fix.

Insightsupdated 08:00

What it delivers✓Faster, more accurate picking on the warehouse floor✓Usable with gloves on — fewer mis-taps and errors✓Minimal training for seasonal staff
What it delivers✓Leaders get their numbers without asking an analyst✓Insights arrive with the next action attached✓Board packs exported in one click
EV
In real life · user scenarioElena, CFOPrepares the board pack every quarter
Before

Asked an analyst for the same numbers every month and waited two days for them.

With this design

Switches to her CFO view, reads three written insights, and exports the board pack herself.

ARole lenses

Same data model, different first screen — leaders never wade through someone else's metrics.

BInsights end in a link

Every AI note names the cause and a next step, so it's a to-do list, not a commentary.

CBoard-pack ready

The layout prints to A4 landscape as-is; export is one click from the header.

08 — ERP · ManufacturingDesigned by Advorize

Plant floor

Machine health for the plant manager. Each asset shows its OEE as a ring, the shift timeline shows exactly when each line ran, idled or stopped, and maintenance work orders sit beside the cause.

What it delivers✓Downtime traced to its cause while the shift is still running✓Maintenance prioritised by impact✓One view from the shop floor to the plant manager
RM
In real life · user scenarioRahul, plant managerResponsible for four production lines
Before

Heard about line 3 stopping at the end-of-shift meeting, hours after it happened.

With this design

Sees the stop on the shift timeline as it happens, with the work order already raised.

AOEE as a ring

One shape per machine, comparable across the row; the number sits inside it.

BTime, not totals

The timeline shows when a stop happened, which is how a manager links it to a changeover or a shift handover.

CCause beside the fix

Work orders reference the machine card that raised them, so nobody has to cross-reference IDs.

09 — ERP · ProjectsDesigned by Advorize

Rollout planner

An ERP rollout tracked inside the ERP. Phases, owners, progress and milestones on one timeline, with a today line so the steering committee sees what is late in the first second.

SC
In real life · user scenarioSunita, programme directorSteering an ERP rollout
Before

Built a status slide every Friday that was out of date by Monday.

With this design

Shares the live timeline with the steering group; late tasks show in red on their own.

AProgress inside the bar

The lighter fill shows how much of each task is done, so plan and reality share one line.

BLate is loud

Only tasks behind the today line turn red. Everything else stays in its phase colour.

CMilestones as diamonds

Steering-committee gates are their own shape, readable even in a black-and-white print.

10 — ERP · CustomersDesigned by Advorize

Customer 360

Everything the business knows about one customer, on one page: credit position, open invoices, order trend and every touchpoint from sales, support and finance in a single timeline.

Before

Took a new order without knowing the customer was 32 days overdue on an invoice.

With this design

Sees credit use, open invoices and every touchpoint on one page before she says yes.

AFinance meets sales

Credit use and slow payment sit next to the order button, before the next order is placed.

BOne timeline

Emails, calls, tickets and reminders from every department, filterable but never split up.

CCounts on tabs

"Invoices · 12" tells you whether a tab is worth opening before you open it.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

Straight answers to what people ask most before starting a design project. Can't find yours? Write to sales@advorize.com — every enquiry is answered within two working days.

Why do employees find ERP software hard to use?

Most ERPs are designed around database tables, not tasks. People end up keeping spreadsheets beside the system. ERP UX design reorganises screens around what each role actually does every day.

Can you redesign the UI of an existing ERP like SAP, Odoo or a custom ERP?

Yes. We redesign the screens and flows within the technical constraints of your platform, or design a new front end on top of your existing data.

Which ERP modules can you design?

Finance, inventory and warehouse, sales, procurement, HR and leave, manufacturing, projects and executive reporting — all shown on this page.

How long does an ERP UX redesign take?

We work module by module. A first module is usually ready for development in four to six weeks; a full ERP takes several months.

How do you handle permissions, approvals and audit trails?

They are designed in from the start: role-based views, approval chains with budgets, and audit logs that show who changed what, from what to what.

Will a redesign disrupt our team?

We test with real users before rollout and keep familiar data and terms, so teams adopt the new design quickly instead of relearning their jobs.

All designs on these pages are by the Advorize design team. Company names, people and figures shown inside the screens are illustrative.
