View certificateBespoke software applications can often represent a much better choice for travel companies compared to the so-called “off-the-shelf software” (designed for everyone). They are unique and are built to properly meet and reflect the specifics of your business.
Our team has a long-standing expertise of building bespoke software for travel businesses of different types and specialization across the globe.
Development “from scratch”
We can create a completely new solution if you’re looking to patch a gap in your business workflows and bring more efficiency with smart automation.
Redesign of legacy systems
With our deep knowledge of travel technologies, we can take up redesign projects of any complexity to re-factor your existing systems and give them a new lease of life.
Third-party travel software integrations
We can enrich your infrastructure with an external travel tool of your choice, making sure to configure and customize it to fit seamlessly into your processes.
Our experience of building bespoke travel solutions spans across our entire 20+ years of history. We combine in-depth domain knowledge and top-notch technical skill to deliver solutions that are just the right match for your technical and business needs.
In various development areas
As different solutions
Prior to any development activity, our team collaborates with you to put together a complete vision and stack of project requirements. As a result, our team produces Backlog and Vision documents outlining technical requirements, business needs and a clear set of objectives and tasks to be completed.
We adhere to the latest Agile project management practices, allowing us to meet any change requests and most urgent project needs. Regular backlog refinement and prioritization brings in flexibility that is sufficient to produce shippable project items at the end of every iteration.
During the initial project phases, we come up with an agreed delivery plan for key project items. We closely monitor project timelines to ensure successful completion of all planned project milestones.
We control the project budget by closely monitoring costs reports and performance on a regular basis. In case of limited budgets, assigned PMs will promptly inform project owners in case a limit is close to being reached. In addition, we identify, document and assess all project risks and their potential impact on development budgets.
We make all the necessary arrangements to ensure streamlined and transparent project communication. We strive to reduce much information exchange routes and provide customers with a single point of communication using proven project management and task tracking tools.
By default, we provide complete technical support and maintenance of all bespoke systems we deliver according to SLA agreements signed with every customer. An SLA normally stipulates types of system issues and specific reaction times to address each of them.

Our team can perform a range of activities which can help renovate, improve performance or scale up your existing solution to drive better customer engagement and more bookings.
In case your existing solution is underperforming, our specialists can run an in-depth assessment and suggest steps that should be taken to make sure your current software fully meets its business objectives. This activity is usually part of a complex system redesign, but can also be offered as a separate service.
We can prepare a conscious and structured report on the current state of code in your application, relying on our long-standing expertise in travel software development. When done right, a code review:
This is the right choice if you need to improve code productivity without changing external behavior of your application.

We can take up your project at any production stage and continue where your previous team left off. We’ll start with a detailed documentation study and code review to suggest the most productive and time-saving way that can lead the project to its logical completion.
