We also built a communication platform that integrates all events and customer interactions through a wide range of channels, thus bringing more personalization to communication with travelers.

What we did
Phase 1
Our task was to design a system architecture and build the platform from scratch. ApexTech team chose a microservice approach to the architecture to ensure the platform can easily cope with hundreds of search and booking requests and rapidly process the incoming data. Our experts built an industry-standard logging solution based on AWS.
Phase 2
Grounding on a new backend data management system, we designed the platform’s frontend to be responsive and easy to use. The interface involved complete layout development, design of UI dashboard elements such as filters for incoming calls, inquiry profiles, online and offline bookings.
Phase 3
Our team has built an omnichannel platform for next-level communication with customers. We integrated email, Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, and web chat in a single dashboard, simplifying communication with visitors, no matter where are they coming from.
