What did you find most impressive or unique about this company?
Amar Infotech was their exceptional level of customization and attention to detail in every aspect of the project. They didn’t just provide a standard solution; instead, they took the time to understand the specific needs of TravellGDS and tailored the travel portal to meet those needs, ensuring that every feature aligned with the business’s objectives. Their seamless integration of multiple travel APIs, like GDS and hotel APIs, to provide real-time inventory and dynamic pricing was a key highlight that set them apart from other providers.
Moreover, their commitment to ongoing support and maintenance after the project’s launch was remarkable. They didn’t just deliver the product and move on; they were fully engaged in ensuring the portal's continuous performance, updating it as needed and quickly addressing any emerging challenges. Additionally, their ability to scale the system while maintaining high performance, even during peak usage, demonstrated their technical prowess and deep understanding of the travel industry’s complexities.
Lastly, their clear communication, proactive problem-solving, and flexibility in responding to client needs during development were standout qualities that made the entire experience smooth and highly successful.
Are there any areas for improvement or something Amar Infotech could have done differently?
While Amar Infotech delivered an overall successful project, there are a few areas where they could have further enhanced the experience. One potential area for improvement could be more in-depth initial planning around certain features. For example, while they were responsive and flexible during the development process, a more detailed discovery phase at the beginning might have helped to identify potential challenges earlier, particularly around certain API integrations that required additional adjustments later on.
Additionally, post-launch documentation and training could have been more comprehensive. While Amar Infotech provided essential documentation and training sessions, more in-depth, ongoing training sessions could have helped TravellGDS’s internal team to fully leverage all the features and functionality of the platform without relying on external support. This would ensure that the team is completely self-sufficient in handling and managing the portal moving forward.
Finally, while the platform’s scalability and performance were impressive, pre-launch user testing could have been expanded to include more real-world user scenarios, especially from different customer segments, to ensure that all edge cases were thoroughly addressed before going live. This would have ensured even smoother functionality across all types of user interactions.
These improvements, while relatively minor, would have further strengthened the overall development experience and the long-term success of the project.
