Design System

The VendorSmart Design System was created from the ground up to unify interfaces, behaviors, and communication across the platform. It was built to support complex operational workflows, including permissions management, admin settings, compliance reviews, and multi-step decision processes.

The system was designed following Atomic Design principles, ensuring scalability, consistency, and coherence as new products, features, and teams were onboarded.

VendorSmart Design System bridges the gap between clarity and complexity, empowering designers and engineers with a shared language, predictable patterns, and a reliable foundation for fast and informed decision-making.

Principles

Principles

The system is guided by principles that reflect how people work and how teams collaborate:

EASY

Clear guidelines and intuitive components that streamline workflows and reduce complexity. Every interaction should feel natural and predictable.


CONSISTENT

A cohesive user experience powered by standardized components, patterns, and styles across products—minimizing ambiguity for users and teams.


SCALABLE

Flexible and adaptable components that grow as the product evolves. Brain was built to support new surfaces, features, and product pivots without redesigning fundamentals.


REUSABLE

Components are designed to work across different contexts and projects, increasing efficiency and reducing duplication of effort.


ACCESSIBLE

Inclusivity is a baseline requirement. Components follow accessibility best practices, including color contrast, keyboard navigation, and semantic structure.


COLLABORATIVE

A system that is easy for both designers and developers to understand, adopt, and extend. Documentation, naming conventions, and tokens encourage cross-team alignment.

The system is guided by principles that reflect how people work and how teams collaborate:

Base tokens

Base tokens

Core design values like colors, spacing, font sizes and families, ensuring consistency across the entire system.

Product tokens

Custom tokens adapted from base tokens to fit specific product needs.

Components

Components

Reusable UI elements like buttons or forms, built from product tokens and patterns already defined.

Icons

Icons

Simple, scalable symbols that represent actions or concepts in the interface.

  • Add notifications to remind agents to return to online status after a pause.

  • Display to users the time limit set by the Manager for each custom pause.

  • Cross-analyze feature usage data with the adoption rate of companies that required this functionality to start using the app.
