story behind
Interacting with and taking care of guests—that is where the hotel-guest relationship often starts. For this reason, our client needed a refreshed mobile experience to compete with the expectations set by today’s tech-first world.
As travel started to pick up in 2021, there was an urgency to get to market quickly with both the new experience and the redesigned app, and it was a massive undertaking. Plus, the new app needed to work with both iOS and Android, be translated into 18 languages and be able to provide group experiences.
Challenges & solutions
Existing booking processes often lack the necessary flexibility and synchronization to accommodate the varied preferences and needs of multiple participants.
The app facilitates collaborative planning for group stays. Guests can seamlessly coordinate and book services for multiple participants, ensuring a synchronized and hassle-free experience for families, friends, or business groups.
Previously the client had many delays in the workflow. It took several weeks to make simplest changes to the app functionality. So they wanted us to move fast.
Using agile releases looked like the perfect idea for that challenge. We delivered our backend solution twice faster than expected! In general, it took us only 8 weeks to develop the whole app - from scratch to release. However, we covered all the MVP functionality.

features
Guests can customize their service bookings based on a variety of specific conditions: selecting preferred dates, specialist service providers, specific time slots, diverse service types, and specifying the number of participants for each reservation.
It goes beyond mere translation by seamlessly adapting the entire user interface and content to cater to each guest's preferred language.
