Modernizing Magni Group’s Task & Sample Management Platform
Magni Group Inc. is a global coatings and chemical solutions provider known for its advanced surface protection technologies. With operations spanning multiple regions, Magni relies heavily on internal digital tools to manage projects, customer requests, and laboratory samples.
Over time, the existing web application—built using legacy ASP.Net (VB) technology—became difficult to maintain, lacked responsiveness for mobile devices, and offered limited scalability for future needs. To ensure long-term reliability and usability, Magni partnered with M RANK to design and develop a modern, responsive, and efficient web-based platform.
Project Objectives
The primary objective was to modernize and enhance the user experience of Magni’s existing web application, focusing on key features such as:
User authentication and role-based access (Active Directory integration)
Task management (creation, tracking, and reporting)
Sample request management (customer samples, approvals, and Deacom order visibility)
Unified dashboard for real-time visibility
Compatibility across desktop and mobile browsers
Improved maintainability and long-term scalability
Challenges Faced
Outdated frontend architecture limited responsive design capabilities.
Inconsistent user experience across devices.
Legacy code dependencies made extension difficult.
Limited API optimization for modern workflows.
Our approach
M RANK proposed a complete UI/UX redesign and frontend redevelopment while retaining Magni’s existing MS SQL database and backend API structure to minimize migration risks.
Technology Stack
Frontend
React, HTML5, CSS3 (component-driven, responsive UI)
Backend
Existing .NET APIs retained and integrated
Database
MS SQL (existing database maintained)
Version Control
Git (GLDP Repository)
Testing
Manual QA
Methodology
Agile (2-week sprint cycles)
System Architecture & Key Modules
The application was structured into modular components to ensure flexibility and maintainability.
Core Modules
Dashboard – Unified view of tasks, complaints, and sample requests
Authentication & Authorization – Secure login/logout integrated with Active Directory
Tasks Management – Add/edit/close tasks, attach files, add comments, track by customer/project/department
Sample Request Management – Add customers, initiate requests, track approvals, view Deacom orders, generate reports
UI/UX Modernization
M RANK's design team created a clean, intuitive, and device-responsive interface using Figma. The design emphasized consistency, accessibility, and mobile-first usability.
Results & Impact
- Modern, responsive interface improving user satisfaction and productivity
- Seamless integration with existing systems and databases
- Reduced maintenance overhead due to modular React architecture
- Improved visibility across departments
- Enhanced performance and reliability
Technical Highlights & Innovations
Migration to grid/flex design for adaptive responsiveness
Component-based architecture for faster updates
Integrated notifications for task and sample updates
Support for Microsoft Edge and Google Chrome
Scalable for future API and module additions
Conclusion
Through close collaboration with Magni Group, M RANK successfully delivered a future-ready web application that transformed internal task and sample management. The new solution enhanced efficiency, visibility, and user engagement while ensuring scalability for future growth. This project stands as a strong example of M RANK's excellence in UI/UX modernization and enterprise application transformation.
