THE CHALLENGE

Providing accessible and complete access to all hotels and property rental services in the country. The task is complicated by integrating standalone applications and CRM into a single system for user interaction and search optimization across all elements. Our product aims to overcome these obstacles by offering a streamlined end-to-end platform for all travel and rental needs.

PARTNERSHIP GOAL

We developed a Travel E-commerce site, marketplace, and CRM applications for our client. Specialized CRM application has enabled the company to establish adequate sales, marketing, and customer service management, ensuring customer loyalty and the development of long-term relationships. Using a marketplace and CRM application made it easier for customers to find, book, and create travel itineraries.

BEFORE
At the beginning of our cooperation, the company’s website and the CRM system were third-party resources, there were problems with booking and searching for rental objects, and there were many problems with paperwork.
AFTER
We got a product that accelerated the search, systematized the results, stored the history of actions, and gave staff and customers tips on the work plan. Our Complex system made it possible to automate most of the business processes.

THE TECHNOLOGIES WE USED IN THE PROJECT:

The firm came to us for outsourcing because they didn’t have an internal department for software development.
