Simply New York
The earlier version of this hotel reservations site was text heavy,
with very loose functionality and design. We revamped the site from
scratch, making it crisp and objective, with watertight functionality
and impressive aesthetics. Brand building features like a mascot,
positioning, et al were introduced. Besides, we made it easy for
the customer to find the ideal hotel as per his/her needs and reserve
it, instantly.
We programmed the solution on a MS platform using ASP, XML &
XSLT. The hotel search results displayed on the website are fetched
from the XML server (Gilboa). And the booking gets completed, online
(secured payment gateway server).

Metropolis Travel
The uniqueness of this project was that the portal required
to be integrated with two independent tour operators, who owned
the hotel inventory. Covering worldwide destinations, we created
separate hotel booking flows for both the suppliers. But the look
and feel was similar to create a single user experience.
City-specific hot deals were displayed on the respective
city's hotel search page, for which a local XML database was developed.
Hosted on the e.Windows server, the programming technology is ASP,
XML & XSLT. The online Site Management Tool, done in ASP &
XML, took care of updating the hot offers, city names, margins et
al.

Paris Hotels
As pretty as Paris, this hotel portal works beautifully! While the
back-end is complex, the front-end solution makes it simple to manage
and use.
The client side's TravelCafe® has an online
travel inventory, in which a hotel database is installed on OS Win
NT 2000 and MS SQL server. The database is communicated via ASP
programs for searching and reserving a hotel via the portal, upon
which it gets updated immediately. Similarly, when any booking is
made at the client side via TravelCafe® application (offline),
the hotel inventory is updated, and hence results are reflected
online in real time. Moreover, to create and update the hotel profile
we created an online XML database, which is managed by the client.
All in all, this portal is not only easy to administer, but is
operationally very efficient - ensuring zero errors!

planning a trip to London. Just select your pick-up/drop-off point,
number of passengers, etc., and you get your trip cost. Confirm
the same, and your commuting in London is secured much before you
land. Simple! You have the freedom to book either online or via

Site Management Tool was developed to enable the client to manage
the database, viz. prices, area names, vehicle types, etc.

Simply London
This London specific hotel bookings portal had to be integrated
with the Jacob XML server. The complete portal has been built from
zilch. The 'mascot boy' of the 'Simply' portal series has been repeated
here too, as an online brand extension. The customary hotel search
form has been tucked inside the site, away from the home page. While
star wise 'hot' offers are displayed on the home page with some
description.
We programmed the solution on a MS platform using
ASP, XML & XSLT. The hotel search results displayed on the website
are fetched from the XML server (Jacob). And the booking gets completed,
online (secured payment gateway server). Checkout the neat user
functionality…

Echo Travel
A pure back-end hotel bookings project, with the client implementing
the front-end solution at their end. Based on the requirement analysis,
we programmed the solution on a MS platform using ASP, XML &
XSLT. The hotel search results displayed on the website are fetched
from the XML server (Gilboa). And the booking gets completed, online
(secured payment gateway server).
In the above case, our development team used temporary
'vanilla' screens while engineering the solution that were then
replaced with the final front-end screens by the client.
