Travel Portal Development Company

We use the Time and Material (T&M) model for invoicing travel portal development services, meaning the customer only pays for the actual work performed on the project. This choice is optimal for travel portal development in today’s business landscape because it provides room for change, adaptation, and agile business decision implementation.

The range of expert positions working on a travel portal or website project is quite broad and may include not only developers and QA engineers but also business analysts, industry experts, product owners, UI/UX designers, GUI designers, DevOps, cybersecurity specialists, and more. Relevant provides these and several other expert roles to implement the project holistically.

Travel portals, as opposed to simpler websites, allow businesses to provide an end-to-end experience to their customers. This convenience, in turn, boosts conversion and improves customer retention, as your travel portal development solutions incorporate the essential aspects of travel under one hood. Meanwhile, you get all the relevant data accumulated and ready to be used with a BI engine for smarter decision-making.

A GDS, or Global Distribution System, is a digital reservation platform like Amadeus, Sabre, or Galileo that accumulates offerings of flights, accommodation, and other services from various providers to serve as a single source of coordinated data that is updated in real-time. Travel portals and other software integrate with major GDS via APIs to provide the necessary data to the end users, including customers and travel agents.

Yes, we do. Relevant is meticulous about defining and securing any confidential information from the customers. Non-disclosure agreements are formulated and signed by all experts involved in the projects to safeguard project details, intellectual property, trade secrets, and other information defined in the agreement.

The essential features of a modern travel portal include flight booking (with API connection to payment gateways), hotel and vehicle booking, packages management, admin console, and multiple user roles, fare caching, SMS gateway for notifications upon transaction, reservation management capacities, transaction accounting, as well as analytics and business intelligence (BI).

The process necessarily starts with an in-depth discussion with the customer, as the range of possible types of solutions for the travel industry is very broad. Understanding the business pain points allows us to identify the optimal product type (portal, website, CRM, integration, etc.) and further formulate the requirements. This is followed by architecture design and development per se, accompanied by testing at multiple levels. Once all functional, performance and security requirements are fulfilled, the product can be deployed on the server for further use and maintenance.

Maintenance and technological support are an integral part of the software lifecycle, so it is natural to include maintenance services in the project's scope. Relevant has the necessary expertise and resources to provide travel portal maintenance and support if the customer requests this.

There are a number of factors to consider. These include, among others, portfolio and industry focus, i.e., the experience of working with the travel industry. It is a good idea to learn about the teams that will be working on your project, the level of seniority, and employee retention within the team (generally, the higher, the better. Another aspect to note is the choice of approaches and development methodologies (Agile methodologies are better for scalability), as well as the versatility of the tech stack offered.
