We joined a collaborative journey with Proxy to re-imagine how people manage access to their workplaces and buildings.
A scalable platform for stronger growth
After conducting workshops with Proxy's CEO and Director of Engineering, we designed a better core experience suited to the brand's long-term vision. Customers were already eager to get their hands on the new platform, so we needed to move swiftly.
We created a flexible dashboard architecture which allows customers to use different Proxy services based on user goals. Proxy Access is the go-to service to control who, when and how people access buildings. With Proxy Visitors, office managers can create tailored mobile check-in and visit experiences.
Complexity made easy
Proxy had just released a new digital brand identity that we adopted to make a user-friendly product experience. A dark interface lets admins analyze company-wide content while light workspaces allow detailed tasks on site-specific levels. The interface gives admins a clear separation between their company overview on Proxy Dashboard and detailed services such as Proxy Access and Visitors.
We worked iteratively with the Proxy team running recurrent user interviews and testing to make a complex management tool simple to use. The end result was a co-creation of the most user-friendly and modern physical security platform on the market.
Making a joyful app
Our technology focus was realising the designs in the best possible way while enhancing the experience with smooth transitions, good performance and joyful details.
Together we built a scalable front-end using reusable components and worked closely with the engineers at Proxy to ensure state of the art delivery.

14islands did an amazing job in designing and developing the Proxy Dashboard together with us.
This required very tight collaboration and incremental deliveries over many months until final delivery. We are extremely pleased with the outcome, resulting in a well-received experience for our customers.
A long-lasting collaboration
It was crucial to the success of this project to work closely with Proxy's engineer, product and marketing teams. Along with the Proxy Dashboard and services, we partnered to design and develop the Proxy Developer Portal and helped evolve Proxy.com.
This dashboard has gotten lots of positive feedback from customers and sets Proxy apart in the access management space.
