Challenge
eSky is an online travel agency operating in 34 markets. They help clients to easily book their flights, hotels, trips, cars, travel insurance, etc. eSky cooperates with over 860 airlines and 1.3 million hotels worldwide. The rapid growth of the company required the appropriate platform to smoothly handle an increased number of customers and an expanding portfolio of services. eSky found the project too vast and complicated to develop, so they decided to look for a software house experienced in PHP.
Solution
The Software House created an entirely new system in a stable PHP framework Symfony. The online platform is future-proof: it expands with the growth of the company and adjusts to increased customer traffic on the website. The platform includes both stand-alone services (flights, accommodation, car rental, travel insurance) and mixed offers (flight+hotel, entire trips). The new platform facilitates workflows for eSky employees too – the business panel enables integration with a large number of external systems that are crucial for performing day-to-day operations.
Results
The new eSky platform is a great success. The user base is constantly growing, exceeding over 5 million clients who are satisfied with the better travelling experience. eSky is reaching more and more markets worldwide improving the cooperation with airlines (distinctions from Emirates and Qatar Airlines) and receiving numerous global awards – Internet Effectiveness Awards 2018 (Czech Republic), Page of the Year 2018, APG Awards (Bulgaria), 2018 +Digital Enterprise Award (Brasil) among others. 1.3 million hotels in the database 34 global markets reached 5 million unique clients
