Project Background

The client is a US-based marketing and technology corporation specializing in the travel, hospitality, and entertainment industries. With a focus on digital transformation, the company aims to help travel brands—ranging from startups to Fortune 500 companies—achieve growth through data analytics, digital marketing, and advanced distribution technologies.

Challenge

The client needed to create an innovative, all-in-one travel booking portal that would integrate seamlessly with its existing proprietary platform. The new solution had to cater to both B2B and B2C segments and meet the highest usability standards for customers worldwide.

Goals

The goal was to build a robust travel booking portal that would:

  • Aggregate multiple travel services from the client’s portfolio.
  • Offer trip planning and total cost calculation for users.
  • Enable one-click bookings and global online payment acceptance.
  • Provide comprehensive user account management features.
  • Offer a mobile-optimized, user-friendly interface.

Solutions

Relying on its long-standing expertise in travel technology, GP Solutions successfully covered a set of development phases to meet the Client’s goals over the course of the entire engagement. The highlights of this process are provided below.

Delivery of GP Travel HUB

GP Solutions developed a seamless integration framework using our proprietary product, the GP Travel Hub, as the backbone of the portal. This connected the booking portal with multiple travel aggregators and suppliers, enhancing the user experience by offering the best available services.

Back-office System Overhaul

Our team redesigned the back-office application to streamline reservation workflows and enhance efficiency. The updated system also included advanced content management, data analytics, and reporting features, allowing the client to manage bookings effectively.

Online Payment Integration

We integrated reliable and secure online payment gateways into the portal. This enabled customers from around the world to easily pay for their bookings, ensuring the payment process was smooth and user-friendly.

Custom User Dashboard

A custom user dashboard was developed, offering a personalized account for managing bookings, payments, and preferences. This intuitive and secure interface made the booking experience faster and more convenient for users.

Device-agnostic Interface

To ensure a seamless user experience across devices, we made the portal fully compatible with popular browsers and operating systems. The front-end was optimized for all screen resolutions, including mobile devices.

Native Mobile Apps

We developed native mobile apps for both iOS and Android to expand the client’s reach in the mobile booking market. The apps were designed in collaboration with the client and successfully published on app stores after certification.

Results

The newly launched portal provided a feature-rich, intuitive booking experience, resulting in significant improvements for the client:

  • A 68% increase in total bookings within a short period.
  • Positive reviews from the online travel industry for the platform’s ease of use and functionality.
  • A fully optimized platform that catered to both desktop and mobile users, driving customer engagement and sales growth.

Efficiency and Results:
The newly implemented solutions directly contributed to increased user engagement and conversion rates, leading to a 68% growth in total bookings, enhanced user satisfaction, and significant business growth for the client.
