About the Client:
Widgety, a UK-based company in the travel and tourism industry, approached us with a comprehensive but poorly working content library for cruises and tourism. The solution was supposed to streamline content management for travel vendors by providing a single data point of cruise lines from operators. However, the system had performance and reliability issues and adding new features was a cumbersome task.
- Location: The UK
- Industry: Travel, Cruise and Tourism
- Team size: 3 members (1 Project Manager, 1 Senior RoR Developer, 1 Middle RoR Developer)
- Project duration: Ongoing 30 weeks
Business сhallenge
The business had two main challenges to overcome:
- to make possible data gathering about various cruises, cruising ships, and tourist events in one place. These data had to be delivered via an API;
- to integrate and upgrade a special widget constructor which allows travel vendors to submit the info on cruises using a widget. This is a crucial feature for those who would like to integrate their website with Widgety service instead of building a custom one.
Additional requirements:
- optimize the system performance.
Our solution
To address the identified challenges and enhance Widgety’s capabilities, we introduced several key technological features:
- A widget constructor allowing vendors to submit cruise information quickly and efficiently.
- A REST API enabling developers to utilize Widgety’s data on third-party websites.
- Integration of additional data sources, enhancing the breadth and depth of information available. These innovations collectively optimized the system’s overall performance, ensuring stable and reliable operation.
Business value
Before:
- Travel vendors struggled with integrating dynamic content into their websites, limiting engagement opportunities.
- Persistent performance issues and inflexible features hindered platform evolution.
- Data security and privacy concerns due to inadequate technological safeguards.
After:
- Enhanced widget constructor empowers travel vendors with easy integration of the cruise data into their website.
- Overhauled platform architecture leads to improved performance, reliability, and adaptability.
- Strengthened data security and privacy measures, instilling user trust and compliance with standards.
