Alpean

To understand their business and processes, we needed to first know about them in-depth. To identify and deliver such complex solutions, we used various techniques and tools. This includes custom booking filters and the synchronization of bookings with Google Calendar for admins and members.

These were the main challenges that we faced during the project work:

Making a platform that could handle radically different service types was difficult. Each query had its own booking rules, pricing, and operational requirements. For example, a 90-minute therapy session is booked differently from a yoga class.

Before there were separate booking systems, calendars, and access control lists. This creates silos, and a change in one system doesn’t automatically update the others. This led to double bookings, confused customers, and frustrated staff.

Most WordPress plugins treat multilingual support as an afterthought. But Alpean needed all the language support. As the client resides in Switzerland, the requirement for English, French, and German was a must. We had to make such a model that could also support more languages in the future.

Integrating digital bookings with physical door locks (KISI) required building a bridge between two separate systems. Also, to keep everything in sync, like early arrivals, late cancellations, and access revocation, was a riddle we had to solve.

To develop in the beloved health and wellness space was rewarding. With this mindset, we completed an admirable project ahead of schedule.

These were the major developments we came up with, and their impact on the business:

• We developed a custom filter system with optimized queries for faster results, configurable from the backend.
• We integrated Google Calendar with the booking module to manage schedules directly from Calendar and view booking details.
• The next step was to customize the WooCommerce Subscriptions plugin to meet the client’s specifications.
  This was the most important part of our development cycle. We created a custom Credit system module supported by WooCommerce Subscriptions.
• We implemented the KISI Door API for automated door access codes based on bookings and in sync with times.
• We used the qTranslate-X multi-language plugin and built custom plugins and themes compatible with it to support multilingual capability (German and English).

We provided these solutions, creatives, and modules in the product development journey.
