Looking to replicate the success of platforms like Uber and Airbnb in other industries? Our recent collaboration with a client in the yacht chartering sector offers an intriguing case study.
Our client had a vision to establish an exclusive virtual yacht club platform connecting yacht charter owners globally. Their goal was to create a secure space for members to exchange yachts, facilitating sailing opportunities worldwide. They wanted yacht owners in charter management to seamlessly trade their owner time charter weeks with others, free from restrictions on yacht type, charter company, or location. Additionally, they aimed to empower yacht owners to list their vessels on the platform and sell owner weeks to chartering guests, providing easy access to sought-after yachts in prime locations.
Ecotech IT Solutions rose to the challenge, developing a platform with user-friendly interfaces for both external users and yacht owners. Our platform allowed seamless exchange and swapping of yachts, accessible across various devices for a smooth user experience. Leveraging Agile methodologies, we ensured adaptability and flexibility throughout the development process.
Technologies employed included Angular, .NET, WordPress, and SQL Server.
The results spoke volumes: a remarkable 30% increase in website visitors, alongside a notable 15% surge in inquiries from service providers to yacht owners. Most significantly, our collaboration led to a 40% reduction in the total lead time for yacht bookings, streamlining the process and enhancing efficiency across the board.
