Impact
The Unist application revolutionized how the internal team manages and visualizes product data. By replacing manual processes and spreadsheets with a modern, intuitive React interface, the team can now work more efficiently and make data-driven decisions faster.
The PHP import feature has been particularly impactful, allowing end users to upload and manage product data without requiring technical knowledge or developer intervention. This self-service capability has reduced the burden on the development team while empowering the product team to maintain accurate, up-to-date information.
The clean, responsive UI built with Tailwind CSS provides an excellent user experience that encourages adoption and daily use. The integration with Craft CMS ensures that product data is managed in a centralized, secure location while the React frontend provides the modern interface users expect. The CI/CD pipeline enables rapid iteration and deployment, allowing the application to evolve quickly based on user feedback and changing business needs.
