Overview
Intersight Holidays runs curated tour packages across Europe for travellers booking from home and abroad, but their old site couldn't keep pace with seasonal demand or handle payments in more than one currency.
Challenge
Their booking flow lived across a patchwork of spreadsheets, email threads, and a WordPress site that timed out under traffic spikes during peak holiday season, causing genuine bookings to drop off mid-checkout.
Proposed Solution
We proposed a custom React front-end backed by a purpose-built booking engine — real-time availability, multi-currency pricing, and a checkout that survives concurrent traffic without falling over.
Implementation
The build shipped in three phases: package browsing and search first, live availability and multi-currency checkout second, and a Node JS admin console last so the operations team could manage itineraries without touching code.
Outcome
Six months post-launch, checkout abandonment during peak season dropped sharply and the operations team now updates packages themselves in minutes instead of filing a ticket with a developer.
