Today we present a beta-version of the new enterprise management interface. We decided to show it to you at the earliest stage of development, in order to be able to make changes that can be really convenient and functional.
 
The need for a new interface is caused by the inability to use our old templates for new tasks. For example, to "mobilize" Virtonomics. And the "picture" itself requires refreshment for a long time.
 
Now we update ONLY the main page of the unit.
In addition to updating the appearance, it is planned to change the structure of the bookmarks of the units. For example, the Technology tab in production plants will be deleted, the level change will be available from the unit's home page.
 
The new interface is possible under the link "beta" in the unit name.

Seems good and useful (especialy for the services sector where you couldn't instantly check your revenues and KPI-s)
 
However, I would change the outlay for the store and service sector main page.
 
For example, I think that the revenue, expenses and taxes should be also displayed under the "KPI-s" for stores and service sector enterprise.
In order to do this, I have a solution:
 
I am speaking about the "store - KPI -efficiency" tabs.
There is a place for messages above the "store" tab where messages like this are displayed
"You have problems with employees. Decrease the salary!Workers qualification should not be higher then 10000."
 
I would move this to the top right corner of the page and enlarge the tab for "store".
And I would move the "number of visitors" and "popularity" from the "KPI-s" to the enlarged "store" tab.
Then I would use the place we saved in the "KPI" tab to display the revenues, expenses, and taxes. 
"Building better worlds"

So I definitely love the new set up even though I've only looked at the retail one.  But uh, first thing.  Maybe translate everything before pushing it to the English speakers of the game (see image above).  Second thing, while it's safe to assume most of your active players understand KPI, you probably want to explain what it is in a hover, to not deter newer players who are less business savvy.

great stuff!
 
My suggestion: make the tabs with "forecast" for efficiency and top manager the default tabs rather than the "now" tabs.

Nice slick looking interface so well done. Agree with the 3 previous feedback posts, especially Sulaco and JustNash's.
Hover notes are good practice in general especially for the more 'technical' or ambiguous terms.
I would also like to add my own few points:
Generally speaking, with some understanding of the tradeoffs needed to be made between load times/server loads etc vs quantity of data retrieved/displayed, in the balance I would say that a slightly longer initial load time for a snapshot or management overview with more information is worth the wait. The fewer tabs and links I have to drill down to, in order to have a clear understanding of whats going on, the better. Ideally I shouldn't need to go beyond this page to determine if I need to do anything else.
I would also add that some way of incorporating business-relevant summary stats on production/supplies/sales into this initial view would be a godsend i.e. key kpis or metrics ought to include revenues, prod values etc
i.e. all information I would need to determine if any further action needs to be taken on this unit without having to explore other tabs. If yes then I can drill down.
A few additional points, and though not exactly relevant to this thread (sorry), it would be great if sales/trade-hall and supply could be merged into one tab. This would be very helpful.
Consistency in the supply view (and in general), across all the business types, would also be useful (working out average price value based on all suppliers contracted would be great - you already have this feature in the warehouse unit tab so shouldn't be a problem to implement that across the other unit types).
Lastly, the landing global summary page could be improved, one simple idea, would be an inframe display on the main home landing page of the discussed management interface (beta version) when clicking on any unit i.e. I select one of my companies from the list and the report summary above changes to show me the summary snapshot of that unit (with the new interface we are discussing). Hope this makes sense.
And can the default sort on the companies either be by poorest/best performers or most inefficient :-)
Virto is a great experience. Keep it going, keep it growing!!

This is a great improvement from the previous interface refresh attempt.
 
I second the above made suggestion to reduce the amount of data windows per subdivision to a single page. I also hope that the project of interface update could get its own time- and deadline be completed across the site. Please also catch up with adding sort functions and pop-up filters to each page where its applicable and don't waste time to think if it is needed for this or that page; simply approach it as the general strategy to have everything look the same across the interface.
 
That said, the technology windows have been rendered more or less useless for me because of layout changes; it would take me a crazy amount of time to overlook what is already exposed (at which price, at the same sight) and what not and i truly hope that there' will be a thoughtful and user-friendly solution implemented soon, too.

Yes New Pop-up windows are just great Less frequently used buttons have been transfered there. A good arrangement of things.
 
Yes New KPI tab in the dashboard
 
Not so Mishmash visual design Too many horizontal lines and boxes, tab titles unnecessarily emphasised, etc. Compare to current pages which seem to be more orderly. 
IT'S JUST BUSINESS!

Seems the Top Manager Calculation formula is not correct for total maximum workers in livestock. It shows max 2310 (83% eff) for my lvl 11  qualification. If I use the forecast on the old UI, it shows me 100% eff and it was also my last update, didn't change worker amounts since the update.

Apparently there's no way to cancel a franchise contract in the new beta interface. My dude ZNick had a hard time searching for it, and I could not find it either.

Can't wait for updates to the other enterprises too.  The new interface is a much better improvement from before.

If I choose new implementation of "Create subdivision > Factories > Boots"
then I'm seeing disabled block "Leather shoes factory" and, judging by scrollbar appearing/disappearing, non-stop process of block changing its height.
 
Browser Chrome on Windows, reproduced on several PCs. Neither Cache cleanup nor incognito mode do not help.
 

Another observation:
if I choose new implementation of "Create subdivision > Warehouse > Type > Country > Region > City"
then at this point I can't see and compare "Rent 1 K m2" for all region cities.
To collect this info I have to choose specific city, and then there's no "Back to Region" functionality - I have to start the whole procedure from the beginning.
 

Another issue:
Sorting by column "Quality" in dialog "Buy equipment":
in old interface this dialog was able to remember one sorting preference for all enterprises of the same kind;
in new interface it is enough to reload (F5) enterprise screen and this dialog resets to default sorting preference.
