Business Need
Ground Control’s internal digital platforms were fragmented and outdated, with inconsistent user interfaces across mobile and desktop. This created inefficiencies in quoting workflows and limited the ability to scale or maintain systems effectively.
The Strategy
A centralised design system was introduced to unify the user experience and support future growth. The internal shop website was updated, and new mobile and desktop apps were created for on-site quoting and in-office quote processing. This cohesive approach streamlined operations and set the foundation for long-term scalability.
The Design System
The Design System
A design system begins with strong foundations—clear rules that ensure visual and functional consistency. To define these, an audit of the existing brand and UI was carried out to identify patterns, inconsistencies, and reusable elements. This groundwork helped establish a shared visual language that supports scalable, cohesive digital products.
By setting clear standards early—from typography and colour to spacing and layout—you establish a shared visual language that supports every part of your digital product. These foundations form the base for a scalable, maintainable system that everyone on the team can align around.
Consistency of Experience
Consistency of Experience
With the same patterns and components used across your digital tools, users instinctively know how things work.
Whether it's a customer-facing website or an internal tool, everything feels familiar and intuitive—boosting trust and efficiency.

Professional, Effective Apps & Websites
A design system speeds up development by providing ready-to-use components that ensure every part of your website or app is consistent, functional, and on-brand. It reduces duplication, prevents mistakes, and makes it easier to keep things looking polished as your product grows.
It also frees up time to focus on the features, content, and interactions that make your product more useful, engaging, and effective for your users. Rather than slowing things down, a design system helps deliver a better product—faster.
