Leonteq HUB is an internal application designed to replace Confluence. It serves as an all-in-one tool for finding relevant applications, staying updated on the latest company news, consulting documentation, identifying key people for each project, and much more.
The idea originated from internal research indicating that most employees found it challenging to understand the company ecosystem and locate the right links, documents, and responsible people for each project. This issue was particularly pronounced for new joiners who struggled to navigate the sea of detached, unstructured documents and pages created on Confluence and left unmaintained for years.
Our web development team took it upon themselves to find an in-house solution to this problem. After our initial Design POC, we received the green light to take this on as a side project.
Today, the Hub is solving many of the previously mentioned issues and is extensively used across all teams. It has improved application visibility and employees' understanding of how the teams work together and what tools are required for each position.
Each app we've developed now includes the Leonteq "HUB Burger" - a small menu button located at the top right of each app. This button opens a floating sliding panel that shows a search bar to quickly find any other app and jump to it. The HUB Burger is a micro frontend introduced into each app, allowing users to link back or manage their app from within each of their main applications.
Another feature of the Hub is the Search function, which is easily accessible through the hotkey "/". Like the Hub burger, it allows for searching anything within the Hub, whether it's documents, people, or even an internal GPT-based AI for asking questions about the company.
