Automated Payout System for Hidden Gemz

Hidden Gemz aims to support local businesses by redistributing ticket sales to the businesses visited by ticket holders. The current manual payout process is inefficient and time-consuming, necessitating the development of a robust, automated system. The goal of this project is to design and implement a software solution that automates the distribution of funds to each business based on ticket sales. This system should ensure accuracy, transparency, and timely payouts, enhancing the financial operations of Hidden Gemz. The project will involve software development with a focus on fintech solutions, allowing learners to apply their classroom knowledge in real-world financial technology applications. Key tasks include designing the system architecture, developing the software, and testing the payout automation process.

UI/UX Design Project | updating dashboard for business owners

The goal of this project is to design a user-friendly onboarding experience and a comprehensive dashboard for local businesses on the Hidden Gemz platform. The solution will guide business owners through the process of setting up their business profiles and managing their information seamlessly. This includes inputting essential details such as their business address, tags, contact information, ticket inclusions, package values, operating hours, and availability. The design will also feature a central hub for notifications, payouts, and management to ensure a cohesive and well-organized experience for business owners. This will be created for a desktop environment. Improved User Experience: The onboarding process should be intuitive, guiding business owners through each step with clear instructions. Business owners should be able to quickly enter and update their information without assistance. Efficient Information Management: Business owners should have a clear and organized way to manage their data, including contact information, business hours, ticket details, and availability, directly from their dashboard. Increased Engagement: The redesigned dashboard should encourage business owners to engage more frequently with the platform, stay informed about their notifications, and manage their payouts effectively. Consistent Design and Branding: The onboarding screens and dashboard should align with Hidden Gemz overall branding, providing a consistent look and feel across all touchpoints - Branding colors from logo, Primary font: poppins
