Our client, a travel startup, wanted to create an innovative travel app that would address industry challenges and improve the travel experience for travellers and small businesses. Computools partnered with the client to develop a mobile app that uses blockchain technology to reduce transaction fees, connect travellers with local small businesses, and ensure secure and transparent payments. The client achieved a broader monetisation field through our collaboration, business automation, and increased user engagement.
The client company was founded in 2014 and has already launched a successful product. The company strives to create innovative solutions, and it had a new idea – a mobile app for travellers. This app would help solve several problems in the travel industry, such as high commissions and marketing difficulties for small businesses. The client wanted to create a platform to make every journey a true adventure while making it profitable for users and companies.
Traditional travel booking platforms charge high fees, reducing profits for both travellers and small businesses. Small businesses in the travel industry often struggle to reach a wide audience and compete with larger companies. Concerns about fraud and security can deter travellers from booking experiences with unfamiliar businesses. The client wanted to create a travel app that would solve problems in the industry, for example high commissions, fraud and lack of communication between small businesses and travellers.
Our team developed a minimum viable product (MVP) by providing expert guidance from industry analysis to strategy planning and ultimately delivering an MVP ready for investment pitches. The MVP development process fulfilled the client’s essential needs and expectations. This solution enhanced customer support with powerful analytical tools and secured transactions using a proprietary blockchain solution. We also developed an appealing and user-friendly UX/UI design.
By allowing users to pay for activities and participate in crowdfunding campaigns using TG tokens, the platform has expanded monetisation avenues beyond traditional methods. The platform made it easy to connect travellers with local businesses. It has significantly enhanced the visibility and reach of small businesses. By providing a platform for small businesses to showcase their offerings and compete with larger companies, our client has levelled the playing field.
Several factors made Computools the preferred choice for the client. Our impressive history of creating cutting-edge and adaptable solutions, mainly in tourism and e-commerce platforms, stood out. Our deep pool of technical expertise and dedication to comprehending the client’s specific challenges inspired confidence in our ability to deliver a solution that addressed current issues and anticipated future requirements. The client valued the focus on teamwork, our adaptability and our client-centric approach, making us the ideal partner to bring their vision to life.

AngularJS
AngularJS was chosen for its capability to build dynamic and responsive web applications. Its two-way data binding and modular structure contribute to a smooth user experience, which is essential for a travel planning platform.
Spring
Spring provides a comprehensive framework for Java development, offering features like dependency injection and aspect-oriented programming. It ensures a robust backend structure for the platform.
Ethereum
Ethereum blockchain and Solidity intelligent contracts were chosen to facilitate secure and transparent transactions within the ecosystem. The decentralised nature of blockchain ensures trust and reliability in financial interactions.
Ionic
Ionic was selected for cross-platform mobile app development. It allows the creation of apps for both Android and iOS using a single codebase, ensuring efficiency and consistency in user experience across different devices.
Docker, Kubernetes
Docker provides containerisation for consistent deployment across various environments. Kubernetes, used for orchestration, automates the deployment of containerised applications', scaling and management, enhancing the platform's flexibility and scalability.
The project adopted the Scrum methodology. The decision to use Scrum was driven by its iterative and incremental approach, promoting flexibility and adaptability to changes in requirements. The framework’s emphasis on regular communication, collaboration and continuous feedback loops aligned with the project’s dynamic nature. Scrum’s structured process, including sprint planning, daily stand-ups, sprint reviews and retrospectives, provided a framework for efficient project management. This choice allowed the team to respond promptly to evolving priorities and deliver a high-quality product in a timely manner.
Computools’ expertise in blockchain technology and user-centric design was instrumental in the success of our app. We’re proud to partner with them to create a travel platform that empowers both travellers and small businesses.
Our client, a mid-market service provider to the retail industry in the UK, built a modern, user-friendly cash management application optimised for use at busy events and retail shops. Computools team integrated POS systems to ensure easy checkout and reconciliation at the end of the working day. The new integrated solution enabled the installation of over 40,000 points of sale and contributed to business growth of 25% in 18 months. Subsequently, international sales grew by 42% year-on-year following the appointment of a US distributor.
Our client wanted to create a platform for neighbourhood residents to interact with reliable service providers and businesses, thus stimulating local business. We developed a two-way social commerce platform that solved this problem. We used AngularJS, Node.js, MongoDB and other technologies to build NEXTDOOR. The platform was successfully launched in the US, quickly attracted attention and became profitable by demonstrating the value proposition and engaging with the local community.
Our client, an Eastern European fintech startup, extended their offering of cash flow management for international businesses. We implemented secure APIs that connect with major financial service providers, including Revolut, Payoneer, and BNP Paribas. This led to significant expansion of the international client base. The customer segmentation approach proposed by our team allowed us to identify the needs of each business type, which led to an increase in customer satisfaction scores from 6 to 8. The changes due to platform engineering and data analysis put the client on the right track to attract additional funding for international expansion.
