The ask

The client had the concept of a Glamping site, a blend of camping and glamorous living at the farm site. For this idea, the client wanted to develop a portal from where customers can book camps and at the same time be able to manage the inventory with enhanced accountability.

  • The client was facing problems managing the customer’s requests from the different regions.
  • It has become tough for his team to deal with customers on the phone about the inquiry and give them updates.
  • Dealing with clients from the different European countries was becoming tough, and managing their details simultaneously was inconsistent and needed more manpower.
  • Checking the camping site based on the request from the customers was taking a lot of time to give them an update about it.
  • Based on the Customers’ inquiries about the camping site for different locations, Giving them status about the availability of camps was a lot of time-consuming.

Benefits

  • We have developed a full-fledged portal that can let customers register and search around thousands of camp locations from Europe.
  • Through the portal, customers view all pre-set basic needs with amenities of the farm site through the details like images, accommodation, features involved, specialty, reviews, and nearby adventures through the website.
  • Receiving payment from the customers was a serious issue before. We have integrated a secure different payment gateway with the website, so the customer can check and book the camp and can pay through different payment gateway options.
  • We have implemented a route planner feature on the website so that customers can check the route on the map to farm sites from their current location.
  • We have integrated inventory software with the system to ensure changes, transactions, and order updates are automatically updated.
  • We have developed a separate portal for countries like the Netherlands and UK.

Facts & figures

The proof for success is an expansion of farm sites in the USA in addition to leading European countries.
