The advisory, consulting, and information system (known by its German acronym ABIS) is at the heart of the building permit process in the city of Zurich. Every day, around 40 district architects and planners use this central platform to analyze properties in detail and to provide the best possible guidance to developers, architects, and construction companies. This helps ensure that construction projects proceed smoothly and remain legally compliant.
The original desktop application was transformed into a modern, web-based platform by our partner, Noser Engineering. Our interactive experience team developed a design system that implemented the branding of the city of Zurich. Contemporary interaction patterns make this expert tool intuitive and efficient to operate.

The collaboration with Nose and Noser was constructive and efficient, allowing us to quickly launch this important new application. Thoughtfully designed operational details now make a real difference in our daily work.
