A Major App Relaunch to Expand Into New Markets
A redeveloped Rails platform for an online booking service
Challenge
- Scarcity of local tech talent and the lack of a scalable team, coupled with the need to control development costs.
- Development of a booking engine tailored for holiday parks.

- Building a remote Ruby on Rails consulting team and scaling the team size to meet the cleint's needs.
- Creating a highly customisable platform.
- Redesigning the app's layout.
Results

- Successful relaunch helped build on an existing user-base.
- A stable and scalable development team became a foundation for adding new features.
- Campsited expanded into new markets, such as the Netherlands.
Numbers:
- 1,350 campsites
