The Raven Platform is laid out in such a manner that puts a lot of emphasis on the overall experience of the end user. The website’s design is rather minimalist and easy to navigate: the content is divided into two large sections, which are easy to find.

Left Column: Applications

The first bar on the left side shows all the applications that are developed for your team. This part of the application serves as your dashboard offering an easy one-click access to various features that can help make your work more efficient and productive. The particular examples shown here might differ depending on your organization’s requirements and the plan you have chosen for your SaaS provider. This flexibility means that as your organization expands or grow in different directions or your needs change, the applications available to you are also capable of being changed to reflect what your organization needs from them at that particular time.
