With a hotel aggregator application, they were trying to build a secure platform where users can find accurate information about their rooms and other amenities. While mobile app is for the users, they wanted a comprehensive module to help vendors and channel partner manage their hotels and reservations.

Proposed Solution

We suggest using a cross-platform approach to developing mobile apps for the best user experience. We utilize React Native to build two separate apps for this platform. These apps will provide a smooth and responsive experience on each platform. For the backend development, we recommend using the Laravel PHP framework. This combination will create a strong foundation for efficient data management and scalability as they grow bigger and add more hotels.

Why We Chose This Solution

To provide a performant and user-friendly application, we developed this app using React Native app development. Here is why we choose this solution,

The Laravel PHP framework offers a robust backend architecture for system stability.
The layered architecture offers efficient access control and data management, safeguarding user and vendor information.
Integration with secure payment gateways ensures safe and reliable transactions for all bookings.

Benefit to the Client

The solution we’ve chosen offers the best options for both users and vendors. Users can easily access information on hotels, rooms and ensure reservation. While vendors, hotel owners, admin and channel providers can access all information from one dashboard and manage booking and payment. This streamlined approach will help businesses manage their hotels with ease and simplify the payment and booking from one place.
