Furniture and Lighting Company
Minnesota, USA

Client Overview
The client is a fast-growing manufacturer in the furniture and lighting industry, specializing in high-end, custom-designed products distributed across North America. With rapid order flow and a high-volume production line, the company needed a real-time digital signage solution to visualize key business metrics—bridging the gap between operations, logistics, and sales performance.
The leadership team wanted a dashboard that could seamlessly integrate data from Shopify, calendar systems, and internal order logs, while being visually optimized for display on ultra-high-definition (4K) screens placed across manufacturing floors and offices.
Challenge
While the client had access to valuable sales and production data, most of it was trapped in fragmented systems. Daily operations relied heavily on manual tracking and verbal updates, creating information lag between teams.
Developing a 4K-compatible real-time dashboard posed significant technical and design hurdles. The team needed to ensure perfect display scaling, intuitive readability, and continuous backend synchronization—all without physical access to 4K devices during the build phase.
The Insight
To create a visually dynamic, high-resolution dashboard that unifies sales, orders, and scheduling data into one real-time system—improving data visibility, operational awareness, and communication across production teams.
Solution
React-Based 4K Dashboard Interface
We developed a responsive React.js application optimized for ultra-high-definition display resolutions, ensuring data clarity and color consistency on large 4K digital signage screens.
AWS Lambda + Google Firebase Integration
Serverless functions handled live data streams from Shopify and internal systems, while Firebase managed user authentication and real-time database updates, creating a secure and scalable data backbone.
Figma-Designed Visual System for 4K Readability
The UI was designed and tested in Figma using pixel-accurate 4K mockups, with optimized typography, spacing, and visual hierarchy for clear visibility from various distances.
Remote Testing and Compatibility Simulation
Since direct access to 4K displays was limited, the team implemented a virtual simulation and layered testing protocol to validate rendering quality, data refresh timing, and screen ratio accuracy.
Impact
Increased Data Visibility by 85%
The dashboard consolidated key operational metrics into a single real-time interface, enabling both on-site and remote teams to instantly monitor sales flow and production timelines.
21% Boost in Operational Efficiency
By automating manual reporting and centralizing data sources, the system reduced daily coordination overhead, allowing faster decisions on order fulfillment and production scheduling.
Enhanced System Reliability and Security
Firebase-based authentication and AWS Lambda infrastructure improved platform uptime and security, reducing maintenance load and enabling future scalability with minimal intervention.
