Unimarket 3.0 playpen is now available so we would like to highlight a few key changes to get started. It’s important to note that Unimarket 3.0 is a new ‘look and feel’ so while we’ve moved a few things around the functionality remains the same.
So why do it…
Firstly, we have aimed to enhance the usability of the system by re-organizing and creating a dashboard with key information. Buyers don’t always just want a list of suppliers!
Secondly, we’d be the first to admit that the current Unimarket layout is rather greedy on space making it hard to fit everything on the page. To resolve this we have moved the menus to the top and made them smarter. We’ve also made the whole site fixed width so it’s optimized for screens 1024/768 or higher.
And lastly, we felt it was simply time Unimarket refreshed our design as a great design is at the heart of great usability.
The Dashboard
The Dashboard replaces the traditional home screen supplier list. Each dashboard panel provides up to date information relating to recently used suppliers, requisitions, orders and more.
Menus
We have moved the menus to the top to save space and reorganized to make the grouping more logical.
The Supplier Store
We’ve added the ability to view requisitions, orders and quotes from the supplier storefront.
Requisitions, Orders and Invoices
With all the new screen real-estate we have been able to layout the detail pages for Requisitions, Orders and Invoices so that they are clearer.
