Overview
The client operates within the hospitality industry as a business partner and aims to assist travelers in finding suitable holiday packages with comfortable accommodations tailored to their specific medical conditions.
Challenges
In the tourism industry, it’s crucial for businesses to have a centralized platform where users can access all necessary amenities and services when planning a holiday. The client’s services were fragmented across different channels and partners. Additionally, arranging support for travelers with special medical conditions posed significant challenges. The client recognized these specialized needs and sought a unified platform to organize support tools for travelers.
Solution
Contata utilized its extensive domain knowledge and industry expertise to develop a solution, consisting of two separate portals for administrators and travelers to engage with service providers and their offerings.
Back Office: This application enabled the client’s employees to configure various options and deals for distribution to other business partners and travelers.
User Portal: This application allowed the general public to search for deals/packages based on their plans and medical requirements.
Both the applications were connected to the backend through a secure Web API deployed on the Azure cloud.
An integrated payment gateway, Stripe, was implemented to enable users to book holiday packages and make advance payments. Additionally, virtual credit cards were created for vendor payments, offering a secure and efficient way for the client to pay vendors without sharing sensitive information.
A new feature was added, allowing users to book hotels even if they don’t have an account.
