Project Overview

  • Rainbow Tourism Group wanted its platform would give its customers a seamless experience of availing multiple services that the business offered
  • The client is a leading Zimbabwe-based tourism platform where tourists and citizens visiting across the country can avail a wide range of services conveniently

Rainbow Tourism Group only had a basic existing website. However, the brand wanted an end-to-end automation system for its platform. We designed and built a unified platform where consumers would access multiple services like cab booking, liquor, insurance, venue booking, hotel booking, grocery online delivery and more with a single click.

  • The business aimed at streamlining all its hotel and venue bookings with a completely automated database system that would help it track and streamline day-to-day operations

Challenges

  • The client did not have a clear scope of work so we had to implement modules that could easily plug and play in different changing scenarios
  • There was an issue with the contemporary payment gateway that the client suggested however, it was not as secure as the others
  • Multiple modules such as grocery delivery, hotel and venue booking, online liquor, cab booking and many others had to be included
  • The client wanted to have an automated database built from scratch to get access to all updated business information and track daily operational data in a single dashboard

Technologies & Methodologies Used

  • Java
  • Android Studio
  • Xcode
