Building the Frontend for Orbitax Change Reports Tracker

Orbitax is a global provider of cloud-based tax technology solutions, serving multinational corporations and tax professionals. One of their flagship products, the Change Reports Tracker, empowers global organizations to monitor real-time tax law changes across jurisdictions and take timely actions to remain compliant and optimize tax positioning.

As an Associate Software Engineer, I was responsible for implementing the entire frontend of this highly data-driven solution. The project required dynamic visualizations, complex UI interactions, and efficient client-side state management to deliver a seamless experience to users monitoring global tax compliance.

Goals

• Visualize global tax data in a clear and actionable format
• Enable users to personalize views by country, region, or tax topic
• Support dynamic filtering, subscription preferences, and notification setups
• Ensure a responsive and scalable frontend architecture for global enterprise use

My Contributions

📐 Complex UI Architecture with Angular

I designed and developed an intuitive, responsive frontend using Angular and Angular Material. This included:

• Custom dashboard layouts using CSS Grid and Flexbox
• An analytics dashboard with tax change visualizations and country filters
• Dynamic, paginated data tables to display structured tax change records
• Reusable UI components to maintain consistency across modules

⚙️ Efficient State Management with NgRx

To manage application state across the app, I implemented NgRx and RxJS, which ensured:

• Reactive data flow between services and components
• Predictable state transitions for filtering, loading, and caching data
• Scalable architecture as new regions and tax domains were added

🌍 Personalization & Settings UI

I implemented a user-friendly settings modal where users can customize:

• Countries, regions (Asia, Africa, EU), or tax topics they want to follow
• Preferences stored locally and persisted through APIs for a consistent experience
• A nested tree view UI to enable intuitive selection of topics and sub-topics

📧 Email Subscription Management

The platform allowed users to subscribe to specific updates, and I developed:

• A clean, step-by-step UI to configure email alerts
• Support for preferences like alert type (change reports, summaries), frequency, and recipient addresses
• Enterprise support, allowing business clients to whitelist specific email addresses within corporate domains

Outcome

• Delivered a robust, interactive frontend for one of Orbitax’s most valuable enterprise tools
• Enabled multinational tax professionals to monitor global tax changes in real time
• Simplified compliance management for large organizations with personalized alerting and analytics
• Ensured scalability and maintainability through component reuse and reactive state architecture

Key Takeaways

• NgRx + RxJS proved essential for managing complex client-side state in a scalable way
• UI/UX design for enterprise users requires balancing dense information with a clean interface
• A strong frontend foundation dramatically improves the usability and adoption of a data-heavy product
