Overview
Centrum Indicatiestelling is a Netherlands-based healthcare platform designed to connect patients seeking nurses with nurses searching for jobs, all through a clean, modern, and location-aware digital experience.
Dhakalogi was responsible for the end-to-end design and development of the platform, including UX/UI design, responsive web development, advanced location-based search, and API integrations.
Client Background
The client envisioned a centralized healthcare marketplace where:
Patients can easily find qualified nurses near their location
Nurses can search and apply for jobs based on proximity
The platform remains simple, fast, and intuitive for all age groups
Location accuracy is critical due to healthcare urgency
Operating in the Netherlands, the client also required precise geographic mapping aligned with the country’s administrative structure.
Client Requirements
The key requirements were:
A dual-purpose platform:
Patients can find nearby nurses
Nurses can find relevant jobs
Location-based search functionality using APIs
Automatic results based on the user’s nearest location
A clean, modern, and professional design
Fully responsive for desktop, tablet, and mobile devices
Easy navigation for non-technical users
Our Approach & Strategy
1. UX Research & Planning
We began by understanding:
Patient behavior and urgency
Nurse job-search workflows
Regional healthcare accessibility in the Netherlands
This allowed us to design a platform that balances speed, clarity, and trust.
2. UI/UX Design & Client Approval
Before development, we created a complete UI/UX design system, including:
User journey flows
Search and filtering interfaces
Map-based navigation
Mobile-first layouts
The design was shared with the client, and after detailed feedback and refinements, final approval was secured before development began, ensuring zero friction later.
Result: Clear expectations, smooth delivery, and full client confidence.
3. Web Development & Responsive Implementation
After approval, our development team implemented:
Pixel-perfect frontend based on approved designs
Fully responsive layouts across all devices
Fast loading performance and optimized assets
Clean, scalable code structure for future growth
Location-Based Search & API Integration (Key Feature)
Not a Challenge, A New Experience
Rather than calling it a challenge, this project introduced a new technical experience for our team.
The Netherlands has:
A detailed registry of houses, roads, regions, and municipalities
Highly structured geographic data
To solve this, we designed a custom location-mapping solution.
Province-Wise Geographic Mapping
We created a structured system based on all 12 provinces of the Netherlands, including:
North Holland
South Holland
Utrecht
North Brabant
Limburg
Gelderland
Overijssel
Flevoland
Friesland
Groningen
Drenthe
Zeeland
Each province was:
Individually mapped
Connected with area-specific data
Integrated into a centralized system
Smart Search Functionality
We implemented:
A search box where users can type any location
Real-time API integration to identify the location
Automatic display of:
Nearest nurses for patients
Nearest jobs for nurses
Location-based filtering without unnecessary complexity
Outcome: Users receive relevant results instantly based on their exact location.
Technology Stack
Frontend: Modern HTML5, CSS3, JavaScript
Backend: Custom API-driven architecture
Location Services: Third-party geographic & location APIs
Responsive Design: Mobile-first approach
Performance: Optimized assets and lightweight components
Final Delivery & Client Satisfaction
The project was delivered:
On time
With full feature implementation
Exactly aligned with the approved UI/UX designs
The client expressed 100% satisfaction, particularly with:
The accuracy of location-based results
The simplicity of the interface
The scalability of the solution
Business Impact
Increased usability for patients seeking urgent care
Faster job discovery for nurses
Strong foundation for platform expansion
High client trust, resulting in multiple follow-up projects
This successful delivery led to long-term collaboration and additional projects from the same client.
Key Takeaways
Healthcare platforms demand precision, simplicity, and reliability
Location-based systems require deep geographic understanding
Proper UI/UX approval upfront ensures seamless development
Well-executed solutions build lasting client relationships
Conclusion
This project demonstrates Dhakalogi’s ability to deliver complex, location-based healthcare platforms with clarity, precision, and scalability. By combining thoughtful design, robust development, and smart API integration, we transformed a complex requirement into a seamless digital experience.
