Technological solutions
The main feature of the project – connection to the world apartment reservation systems. Home Away, Interhome, Apartments Apart, Laterooms, Holiday Velvet and Way To Stay were connected at first.
All data grouped according to the internal algorithms. Main challenge was to integrate all the data into a single structure, taking into account the difference of parameters in each reservation system.
There was also a problem with getting prices on selected dates “on the fly”. To solve this we have developed a multithread requests service, to work with API of partner systems.
Features
- Many complex API’s of data providers
- Multithread data requesting service
- Optimization of data receiving and displaying speed
- Symfony Framework – a powerful platform for the custom projects.
- project SEO
Result
Large amount of system analytics and programming
Successful implementation of technologically complex project
The project is launched in beta. Unfortunately, the customer has lost his interest in further development,
but we are proud with the quality of our work.
