Calendars, inventory, and payments for hotels, tours, appointments, and events—timezone-safe rules that do not double-book when traffic spikes.

Reservations that survive real-world messiness—holds, cancellations, and channel sync

We model resources (rooms, staff, equipment), constraints, and pricing rules so availability is always computed from the same source of truth. Integrations push/pull OTAs, Google Reserve, or custom partner APIs without silent overbooking. Covers hotel booking systems, travel & booking apps, appointment scheduling, event management, restaurant reservations, and on-demand booking surfaces.

02 // ENGINEERING

Development process

Structured phases—from discovery to launch—with clear ownership and handoff points.

Rules discovery (weeks 1–2)

We document edge cases: split stays, group bookings, recurring appointments, and cancellation tiers. Load expectations for launch events captured.

Scheduling core (weeks 2–10)

Availability engine, booking lifecycle, and payment capture. Conflict tests across concurrent requests.

Channels & comms (weeks 8–14)

External sync adapters; notification templates; optional voice/contact center handoff.

Hardening (weeks 12–16)

Load tests, fraud checks on card testing, and admin training. Runbooks for OTA outages.

Operate

Seasonal pricing playbooks; integration monitoring; feature backlog from operations feedback.

05 // PRODUCT SCOPING

Choosing your path

Two engagement models—start lean and iterate, or commit to a full platform build from day one.

MVP

Speed & essentialism

Phase 1
MVP: single property or provider network, web booking, card capture, email confirmations, staff calendar, basic reporting. Excludes multi-property chains, complex channel managers, and loyalty integrations. Ideal to prove utilization and ops fit.
Recommended
