WEEKENDJEWEG is an online travel agency and market leader in accommodating rooms in business hotels on the weekends in The Netherlands. It offers value added services viz. travel + stay arrangements, travel guides, etc.
Project Challenge
The client wanted to develop an online travel website which would help business hotels find customers for their rooms on weekends since occupancy rates drop drastically during this time.
The client also wanted their platform to aggregate and present all their supplier feeds (from their multiple travel suppliers) through one booking engine.
Our Solution
After a thorough requirement analysis, we deployed a team with deep domain expertise to evaluate the potential of this new channel. We suggested they create a complete custom framework based on PHP for developing the Content Management System across multiple websites.
Eastern Enterprise contributed to the product decisions, redevelopment and helped in choosing the right technology architecture. Our prior experience within this sector poised us for crafting an award winning product with this new booking engine.

Eastern Enterprise proposed the following technologies to easily reach the requested functions:
PHP
ANGULAR 2.0
