Challenge
Travelion aimed to enter a highly competitive online travel market with a need for a reliable, scalable, and feature-rich platform. The key challenges included:
- Integrating multiple airline and service provider systems into one centralized platform.
- Managing complex business flows such as real-time availability, pricing, commission (markup) calculation, and secure payments.
- Handling post-booking processes like ticket confirmation, refunds, voids, and date changes efficiently.
- Ensuring high performance, data accuracy, and a smooth user experience for both B2C and B2B users.
