Challenge Summary

Welcome to the "FAST - Sales performance Weather Analytics Dashboard Design Challenge". The goal of this challenge is to create a dashboard that helps us visualize data that will help business users understand the overall effect of weather on sales for different business units. Business users will open their Dashboard and will need to quickly scan the information, view key drivers of the business and take action based on what the information is telling them. Calls to action should be consistent, clear and concise. 

We are looking for data visualization dashboard design concepts that are very simple, informative and easy to understand using the latest design techniques.

Looking forward to seeing your solutions!

Round 1

Submit your initial design for a checkpoint feedback - Desktop and Tablet.
01. Dashboard 
02. Map - drill in view
03. Category YOY - (detail/drill-in view)
- Provide a MarvelApp presentation of your design to help us understand your design concept.
- Request a MarvelApp prototype/project from copilot fajar.mln or adroc or tgerring (via forum or email)
- Make sure all pages have correct flow. Use correct file numbering. (00, 01, 02, 03)

Round 2

Submit your final design plus checkpoint feedback - Desktop and Tablet.
01. Dashboard 
02. Map - drill in view
03. Category YOY - (detail/drill-in view)
04. Category Region - (detail/drill-in view)
- Provide a MarvelApp presentation of your design to help the us understand your design concepts (replace your checkpoint images).
- Make sure all pages have correct flow. Use correct file numbering. (00, 01, 02, 03)

Challenge Description
The goal of this challenge is to create a data visualization dashboard for monitoring and predicting risk associated with climate changes. This is a very focused challenge. We are providing you the data to help us tell a story through the creation of this dashboard experience. The data is currently not very exciting - we need you to "design" the best way to visualize the information and allow the user to "tap/click-into" the information.

Challenge Goals
We are looking for Desktop and Tablet dashboard designs for the provided information. See the attached PDF screens.

Design Consideration
Important: We are looking for NEW graphical user interface solutions using modern "data visualization" techniques! One of the key items we want to visualize is how a user will tap/click in to the data and see the visualization of secondary information. 
- Keep the experience visual and interactive
- This application will consolidate data from Weather Sensitivity Analysis (WSA) which is a specialized service designed to uncover and quantify the precise relationship between the weather and business performance
- We need the navigation to quickly draw our business users attention to areas that need additional focus. 
- Set clear visual clues that will be used throughout the navigation experience.
- Focus on trends (year over year performance), benchmarks, etc wherever applicable.

Screens
01. Dashboard Homepage Screen
Refer to Page 1 (Data-Screens.pdf)
- Show (modern) European Map showing weather impact locations and allow the user to click into it for more information/filter details on the drill/click/tap view.
- Show dashboard data modules/widgets for: 
-- Category YOY (Year of Year)
-- Category Region (Allow for a simple filter to change region?)
-- Category by Period
-- Store-Level (Placeholder)
-- 2D Weather Impact
Note: Some of the modules might have simple filters in the dashboard (see the data/what might make sense to filter in a dashboard view)

02. Map - Drill in view
Refer to Page 1 (Data-Screens.pdf)
- Ability to Tap/Click/Drill in the map
- Need to have some Notification/Alerts that able to notify Account/Territory managers based on potential Incremental Sales impact of weather fluctuation for respective territories
- The application should have the ability to drill down sub-territories, Accounts, Stores, Restaurants/Bars etc
- Ability to pass on data information to the Supply planners and S&OP systems for necessary adjustments in the supply chain planning (share, export, import data features to others)

03. Category YOY (Detail Screen)
Refer to Page 2 (Data-Screens.pdf)
- We need to capture the user experience and visualization of this data once the user drills into this information from the dashboard.

04. Category Region (Detail Screen)
Refer to Page 3 to 5 (Data-Screens.pdf)
- We need to capture the user experience and visualization of this data once the user drills into this information from the dashboard.

Important:
- Keep things consistent. This means all graphic styles should work together.
- All of the graphics should have a similar feel and general aesthetic appearance
- Keeping consistent visual elements - from signal, to understanding, to action planning.


Screen Sizes:
- The dashboards will need to run on Desktop and Tablet
-- Desktop: 1280px and height adjustable
-- Tablet: 1536px x 2048px
- Upload your screens to MarvelApp for review and to showcase the experience (ask for MarvelApp prototype/project from copilot or PM in challenge forum)
- Make sure you create graphic in 'shape' format, so when we resize graphics everything will still look sharp! 

Branding/Colors:
- Follow the branding and colors (color-schemes.jpg)
- We want to keep this simple, modern and engaging yet informative and easy to understand

Supporting Documents:
- color-scheme.jpg (Branding Guidelines)
- Data-Screens.pdf (Apps Data Sample)
