Solution
Cefriel supported the company in the creation of its Design System to design and develop internal web applications. The solution consists of a set of design guidelines that includes reusable components and assets, development codes, and their usage rules, at the service of all the teams that are in charge of developing an internal web application. Characterized by a new look and feel, defined and created ad hoc to integrate ongoing elements with the innovative ones, the Design System is a reference structure for designers and developers, and enables them to optimize delivery times and costs.
