We have 9 packaged solutions that help us achieve this goal, and an example of that is our white-label travel concierge (chatbot), that improves the whole customer journey, from the moment you buy a ticket until you’ve made it to your destination.

Our development approach and philosophy:

We embrace continuously evolving environments and believe our software should be able to adapt to that and constantly grow while retaining its quality and conceptual integrity. Read more about it here https://speakerdeck.com/mfornos/growing-software-systems?slide=1

 

What we are working on (projects):

We are a SaaS provider with two continuously evolving software platforms that feed different product lines.

Software platforms:

  1. ALISEO: software platform produced in-house that we use to support the use-cases of most of our product lines. It’s written in Java 8 and Groovy, with a modular architecture that’s plug-in based, multi-tenant and exposes remote APIs for consumption of frontend applications.
  2. NINA: software platform produced in-house that we use to support chatbots. It’s written in Node.js, built on top of Botkit (for conversational agents) and micro-services (for passenger profiling, airline network mapping, etc.), to which we added support for extensible functional bundles (such us flight searches, add-ons like extra luggage, priority onboarding, etc.), multi-tenancy and the decoupling of third party providers (such as Natural Language Understanding, flight status, etc.)
