Market leading hotel booking system

Enabling a brand new revenue stream with this market-ready, web-based, hotel booking path.

Challenge

Our client wanted to sell hotel rooms easily through a platform that would allow users to search, book and modify their booking. This engine needed to integrate with multiple inventory systems and existing back office invoicing systems.

Approach

The Lola Tech agile team, along with some client-led development teams, conducted a 2 week sprint zero, starting with discovery and story mapping workshops, to understand the customer journey and product vision.

‍
Three development teams were formed and completed 7 two-week sprints to deliver a Minimum Viable Product.  Weekly usability testing sessions drove iterations on design and functionality through a single collective backlog - which was continuously refined with the client's product owner. A release roadmap gave visibility to future development.

Technicalities

This brand new revenue stream from a market-ready web-based booking path proved the strength and scalability of a React with Next.js combined with a GraphQL API which streamlined integration with the parent’s company’s fulfilment systems.

Outcome

This system provides a brand new revenue stream for an ambitious company and is set to take the hospitality market by storm.
