MOL Starnet
MOL's Oracle-based StarNet application is used primarily for scheduling, tracking and invoicing cargo shipments. As part of an initiative to migrate the application to a web-based format, MOL asked Catalyst Group to simplify the user interface.

What do the users need?
The existing MOL system had evolved over time, and as a result the application presented over 700 different screens, with many different strategies for presenting information and functionality.

Keep it simple.
We designed several templates that addressed the business needs: search, view and edit several different types of data. We also created a handful of reusable modules that dictated the presentation of functionality and data results.

Help users find relevant data
We created a simplified browsing mechanism, with the ability to preview informational templates before accessing them.

Look and feel
We applied a visual design treatment to the finished wireframes. The design needed to be sharp, but low contrast for everyday StarNet users.

The final product.
The final interface is customizable by the user and has a cleaner approach to presentation of information. We now show users only what they need to see, clearly identify data issues and required actions, and group related items to make user's lives easier. By following these guidelines MOL will insure that modifications to the application remain consistent in the future.
