Hotel Booking App

Our Client and His Project Requirements

Based in Saudi Arabia, our client is a professional photographer who was looking to book a chalet or resort in Saudi Arabia. However, he searched on the web, found the complete list of chalets and resorts and then started calling one-by-one. This entire process took his hours of time to book just one chalet or resort, so he realized this problem that almost all the people must be facing when booking a villa in Saudi Arabia.

Realizing this problem, he decided to develop a mobile app like Airbnb to book chalets, hotels, resorts, villas, and camps. He wanted to build an app similar to Airbnb so that users can view, check and book chalets from the comfort of their home and seat back relax to enjoy their holidays.

Requirements

Online Platform and Solution We Provided to Our Client

After comprehending our client’s requirements, we instantly got ready to work on this project as we have hands-on experience in developing an online cloud-based platform that is similar to Airbnb. After understanding our client’s needs, our business team prepared a WBS (Work Breakdown Structure) document to give a structural view of the entire project.

We suggested our client – to develop two different variants in a mobile app, including an app for guests and app for hosts to list down their chalets, villas, and resorts. We also suggested developing an admin panel with the most useful features that decrease the hassle of managing requests manually.

Our suggested Airbnb like app solution impressed our client and he instantly likes the idea of developing a complete solution to manage day-to-day operations like bookings, cancellations, earnings and entire business with just a single click.
