Challenge

A technology solution for a successful business in tourism

Der Turistik (part of REWE Group) is one of the largest international business groups in the tourism industry. It includes travel agencies, such as CK Fischer or EXIM tours as well as commissioned dealers. The whole group leans on a central backend solution, which requires a complex ecosystem linking individual processes, systems and various data sources.

Success in this highly competitive environment depends on speed, reliability and flexibility. Only with an architecturally sophisticated, technologically robust and carefully managed solution can this be achieved. 

Requirements

Creation, management and development of a backend solution

Der Touristik needed to deliver a comprehensive backend system for searching and ordering tours, flights and hotel room reservations. The company also required integration between the ordering systems of partners and the sales portals of individual travel agencies. Subsequently, it was necessary to ensure continuous technological development and optimization of the solution as well as its maintenance.

Solution

An agile Java team with effective remote day-to-day communication

For the project, we built a dedicated and experienced agile Java team of experts that was able to withstand  a sophisticated environment with high demands and expectations.This team, although working remotely, remains in daily contact with the client’s various departments thanks to efficient tools (Atlassian, Slack, Google Workspace). 

Specific tools and technologies were selected for the project, including the DevOps environment (Jenkins, Gitlab), and all processes were designed individually.

The result is the ability to respond flexibly to industry-wide trends, but also the marketing and business needs of individual travel agents and resellers.
