How We Transformed Pre-Flight Technologies’ Dashboard with a New UI/UX Design

Project Overview

Pre-Flight Technologies, a development team led by Mike Morgan, needed a UI/UX overhaul for an insurance software dashboard they built for one of their clients in the auto insurance industry.

Their existing software provided financial and loan-tracking capabilities for car dealerships, but the user interface was outdated, navigation was confusing, and it wasn’t optimized for tablet users; a major issue since many of their users were working on tablets at dealerships.

Pre-Flight brought us in to reimagine the platform’s interface, making it sleek, user-friendly, and highly functional for both desktop and tablet users.

The Challenge

The existing dashboard was difficult to navigate, leading to inefficiencies.
The UI design didn’t match the quality of the product, making it harder to sell at a premium.
It wasn’t optimized for tablets, even though many users relied on them for fieldwork at car dealerships.

Pre-Flight Technologies knew they had built a powerful tool, but without an improved user experience and visual design, the product wasn’t living up to its full potential.

The Solution

We took our comprehensive product design process and adjusted it for an existing platform. Since the software was already built, we skipped the initial functionality definition phase and focused on UI restructuring, usability improvements, and responsive design.

What We Did

Redesigned the entire UI system to improve navigation and user experience.
Developed a fully responsive interface for desktop, tablet, and mobile.
Prioritized tablet usability and functionality for users in the field.
Followed best practices for data-heavy dashboards, using familiar spreadsheet and email-style layouts for intuitive usability.

Lessons Learned

One of the biggest takeaways from this project was the complexity of designing around massive amounts of data. There’s a reason best practices exist for spreadsheet-style layouts; we had to reference everything from Google Sheets to Gmail’s UI to find the best ways to structure data-heavy pages without overwhelming the user.

Key Takeaway

Good UI design isn’t just about aesthetics; it’s about function. A well-structured data dashboard improves usability, efficiency, and even the perceived value of a product.

The Results

The fully upgraded UI/UX and tablet view made the product easier to use and navigate. The redesign also increased the product’s value, allowing Pre-Flight to sell the software at a higher price, and resulted in an extremely satisfied client, as reflected in their 5-star Google review.

I have worked with Andrew and the team at Renegades in both a UI/UX project as well as an Email Marketing project. This is a team of professionals who understand how to move efficiently and still create the highest quality. Andrew treats people with compassion and respect, but pushes everyone he meets. When looking at their UI/UX expertise, I found that Kirstin knows how to build a design that packs a punch but is clean and simple to use. 10/10, would recommend.
