APP DESIGN

Crehana evolved from a platform focused exclusively on B2C learning to consolidating itself as a comprehensive HR Tech / HRIS software for enterprise companies. This transition required transforming the mobile application to host not only talent development modules, but a complete human management suite.

Context & Pain Points

Limited Navigation & Information Architecture:

The app was designed solely for consuming courses and learning paths. When expanding the product into an HRIS suite, the interface struggled with scalability: there was no intuitive or modular space to house the new talent management modules.

Visual Inconsistency:

The app operated in a rigid Dark Mode that didn't align with the Web/Desktop version or the foundations of the new Design System, fragmenting the overall product experience and visual identity.

Unlike the previous version (centered solely on continuing courses), we designed "My Space" as the employee's daily control center. It gathers quick actions, metrics, and key information at a glance:

Unlike the previous version (centered solely on continuing courses), we designed "My Space" as the employee's daily control center. It gathers quick actions, metrics, and key information at a glance:

  • Actionable Shortcuts: Quick access to the client's active modules to complete tasks in a couple of taps (e.g., post in Community or request Time Off).

  • Attendance Widget: Quick clock-in and clock-out integrated into the header to streamline daily logging.

  • Featured News and Benefits: Dynamic cards highlighting updates and key incentives, redirecting users directly to the corresponding module.

  • Community Feed: Displays the latest company post on the main screen to boost engagement and cross-team interaction.

  • Pending Tasks Section (Module To-Do List): A priority block centralizing tasks requiring immediate action from the employee or manager (e.g., approving vacation requests, signing pending documents, or completing climate surveys).

Creating the Mobile Library

To ensure maximum quality in native interaction patterns (touch targets, bottom sheets, gestures, and navigation):

  • Same Foundations, Native Components: We created an app-exclusive component library that inherits global Foundations and Tokens (color, typography, spacing), ensuring total coherence with the Web platform.

  • Interaction Standardization: We unified buttons, input fields, empty states, and modular components under clear guidelines for mobile design and development.

White-Label Support

The same engine as Desktop on Mobile: For this initial version focused 100% on the employee, the app automatically consumes the brand identity configured by the company on the Web platform.

  • Theming Tokens Architecture: We implemented dynamic tokens in the App Library, ensuring brand changes apply across the entire interface without compromising accessibility or contrast (WCAG AA).
