Problem Statement
Problem Statement
With a growing user base of students and driving instructors, DriveX faced challenges in managing users effectively and gaining insights into their activity. Additionally, the platform lacked a dedicated tool for creating in-app advertisements, which limited its ability to promote new features and services. Our task was to design an admin system that addressed these pain points while ensuring a seamless user experience for administrators.
