Ruby-Powered Web Service for Travelers

Helping organize docs and plan safer trips

The client is a travel planning service that helps people manage their trips. They wanted to upgrade their web-based travel planning solution.

Problem

The client hired Softeq to develop a front end for their web service that organizes travel plans. The solution had to export planning information and documents into a single printable file.

Our team was responsible for:

Bringing the corresponding patches into the solution
Implementing a new language board
Adding new functional features

Solution

The solution is designed for travelers to help them organize information for pre-planned trips. The service assembles a travel packet that includes a chosen route, a weather forecast at the specified destination, metro maps, highway information radio posts, and hospital locations.

The solution allows to upload itineraries, add and apply filters like embassy locations to the plan, spot fuel stops and even determine the fuel consumption for drivers. It also enables the user to upload copies of passport and driver’s license for crossing the border. All the information provided by the service will be organized into a printable PDF travel booklet, easy to email or upload.

While logging in, users insure their information security through the password access procedure. Alternatively, users can login via their Facebook or Twitter accounts.
