Hotel Guests App and Services Management System Share: CreativeIT Score Awaiting client review n/a Date Published 7 May 2021 Reading Time 3-Minute Read How we hit the spot with our React cross-platform development and jazzed up the UI/UX design – all this in only 5 weeks Project Goal: Cross-Platform Mobile App Il Pelagone is a hotel and golf resort in Italy. What the client wanted us to do was create an app for the visitors so they could easily book different services via a user-friendly mobile application. So, the goal was to release a cross-platform React Native mobile application – on both iOS and Android platforms – which would allow clients of Pelagone hotel to order services most conveniently. We wanted to give the hotel customers a companion app which they were supposed to install by checking into the hotel. Besides, we aimed for making it possible to view the whole history of their bookings, some additional info about the hotel and phone numbers of support. Project Solution 1. Firstly, UI/UX design The very first impression of the requirements to the app we got even before calling the customer. That allowed us to prepare some mockups of user flow in advance. We used the Marvel app for that. In fact, this is the fastest solution when you draw screens on paper and then using the phone, create a simple clickable prototype. That worked, and the customer approved our solution. Together, we decided to use a UI template as it reduces the time both for development and design. In the design stage, we created the logic for booking services, organized all information, and created a clickable prototype in Figma. 2. Secondly, React Development The main value of the app is its dynamic schedules. The app allows any customer to book up to 7 services provided by the resort. Each service can be booked based on specific conditions to be selected by guests: date, time, specialists, types of services, number of participants. We developed a highly reliable algorithm that forms dynamic schedules per service based on the working time and service intervals. Implemented Features: Login and sign up Email confirmation Booking of up to 7 different services at a time Calendar and time slots for booking List of all bookings with the possibility to cancel an appointment Localization Valuable Bonus: Time We delivered our backend solution twice faster than expected! In general, it took us only 5 weeks to develop the whole app – from scratch to release. However, we covered all the MVP functionality. Actions Speak Louder than Words But we are really proud to win another happy client: go to full Clutch review Result We’ve created an MVP of the application and have already got feedback from the first users. The post-release support includes adding new features and fixing eventual bugs.
