Warum wir Plecto neu gestaltet haben

When we talk to our customers, they rarely start with dashboards or formulas. They talk about the feeling Plecto creates.

They tell us about the excitement around a contest, and the energy that builds in the office. They describe colleagues hyping each other up, pushing each other to do better, and genuinely looking forward to work.

Dashboards, data and formulas are the foundation that makes those moments possible. But what matters most is how it feels for the people using Plecto every day.

Arbeit sollte sich anfühlen wie Spaß beim Sport

Early in the redesign, we kept coming back to one idea: work should feel fun like sport.

We don't mean "haha" fun. Sport is fun because it brings something out in people. It gives you the drive to push further, to improve, to beat the person next to you or simply outperform yourself. It's demanding and competitive, and it takes effort. It's also energetic and deeply rewarding when the hard work pays off.

That is the feeling we believe work can have too. It is why we redesigned Plecto: to bring our brand closer to what matters to our customers, and to what Plecto has always been about. Motivating people to outperform.

Die Energie gestalten

Our brand should carry the same energy our customers create in their teams.

That is why we pushed our green to the edge of what the eye can perceive. It is intentionally bright and built to stand out across an office. You should be able to notice a change from a distance, understand what is happening at a glance, and react to it.

We also introduced a new graphic element: the pulse. It stands for something much harder to put into words. It is the energy that builds when a team gets behind a goal, when a contest gets close, or when someone outperforms themselves and the people around them feel it too.

Das ist erst der Anfang

This redesign is just the first step. Not every screen and feature has been fully redesigned yet, a deliberate decision. We prefer to release it now, hear your thoughts, and continue improving.

Our goal is a more intuitive Plecto, offering faster, smarter setup, clearer experiences, and design that looks as good as it feels. While we cannot reveal everything we are working on, we are striving for a standard of excellence.
