Defining product strategy
Initially, our client managed bookings for bus tours through a generic CRM system. As their customer base grew, they faced limitations in customization and data integration across their supplier network. They needed a bespoke solution to unify their tour offerings with operational processes.
From off-the-shelf CRM to bespoke travel management solution
Using React.js and Ruby, we developed a system that enhances customer interactions and streamlines operations. It also facilitates real-time coordination with suppliers. This not only makes life easier for drivers, tour guides, and agents, but also optimizes the customer experience.
Users can easily browse and book tours, and even reschedule or cancel them without a hassle. Staff can coordinate and reserve these tours through an internal system and book online. Plus, there’s the soon-to-launch mobile booking feature. If a person's looking for a full experience, there are special packages that combine various offerings like tours, hotels, and activities. Staff can put these packages together and send them their way for easy payment through email.
The platform also collects automatic feedback and provides real-time tools for all stakeholders. This ensures constant service improvement and seamless coordination.
