Newcomers initialization portal

Customer

One of the top 3 biggest logistic companies in the world

Description

Start is the very first portal newcomers visit after when they start with the company. It's a portal that first started as a replacement for Microsoft's cumbersome "Password reset" and "Setup multifactory authentication" screens, but that has later overgrown its original intent and became a replacement for internal complicated process of password resets through helpdesk tickets.

It's based on an idea of community support, when certain, trusted, employees have a right to reset password for other users in their scope of responsibility, for example, a team leader of a sorting line can reset password for his workers, and they can also update their MFA phone settings to help them in cases of lost/changed phone number.
