Massachusetts Laborers Benefit Funds

Polar Design partnered with The Segal Company (www.segalco.com), a leader in HR and benefits consulting for multiemployer benefit funds, public sector entities and corporations. This collaboration offers a web site with easy to use and informative user interfaces, built upon a rapid application development framework. Using such a framework allowed Polar to build this complex site in less time and with fewer bugs as compared to custom development, while also ensuring the site is robust enough to serve the Laborers' thousands of members. Polar produced this cutting edge site despite working with batch file transfers from an AS/400 based solution, demonstrating that integration and legacy systems do not have to constrain design and usability. Unique interface innovations include a members' benefit dashboard, and Flash interfaces that display contribution and other data to a diverse demographic with easy to understand, animated graphics. The website's ability to address members' questions 24 hours per day, online, has helped reduce call center traffic and certain support costs and increased member awareness and satisfaction.

Operating Engineers Local Union No.3

Operating Engineers Local Union No. 3 selected Polar Design to lead in the development and execution of a redesign of their existing Trust Fund website. Polar Design delivered a website that improved on the accuracy, functionality, and usability of an existing site. The primary goals of the website redesign included: improving the design and usability of the site; develop a site that allows for future expansion as membership needs change; and provide web tools for benefit carriers/administrators. Polar Design met and exceeded these goals through custom interface design and innovative development of tools such as a future pension estimator. Further, Polar Design has vastly reduced the amount of support issues previously handled by the Trust Fund through accurate data and an online help desk.

Paddock Way

Paddock Way, an online, custom-made furniture store, came to Polar Design unsure of how to stand out among the thousands of furniture stores online and effectively engage the visitors to their site. Polar Design solved this issue with an innovative furniture configurator that allows the user to bring to life furniture designs they create, and then order them online. The configurator features a personal, 3-dimensional furniture builder that allows the user to combine thousands of furniture components and calculate the final price based on the options the users select. This unique marketing solution and sales tool won Polar Design a Horizon Interactive award.
