My Travel Book App
Trip planning includes various things such as browsing tons of properties, finding the right kind of people to travel with, finalizing the destinations, keeping track of trips and the list goes on and on. Till the date, we have been using various different applications to manage all of these trip-related things. But My travel book mobile application can be a replacement for all. My Travel Book app is a travel booking mobile application that allows users to register themselves and can plan their trips with friends, view their past, ongoing, and planned trips, join other travelers on their trips, view their photos, book different properties, and more. And as a property owner, you can list your real estate and fleet property on the portal, and allow users to book one based on specified booking availability.
Client Requirements
The client wanted a trip management mobile application where users can plan their trips, and book the properties for themselves as well as join the other planned trips. The main requirement was to provide an easy-to-use UI so that anyone can keep track of their trips along with the destinations and property bookings. The client wanted to set the algorithms that can automatically figure out the total traveled kilometers and get the badges based on that. The Travellers should be able to pay for booked properties to the owners directly choosing their preferred payment mode.

Project Approach & Results
There are almost few to no travel applications that exist that connect travelers, and property owners, allowing them to book real-estate and fleet properties and keep track of their trips all through one single platform. So our app developers made sure the My Travel Book mobile application offers an easy-to-use user interface so that users can enjoy their trips and keep the track of their entire trips through a single application.
So, our aim for developing the mobile application was to resolve all the issues that users tend to face using different frameworks and approaches. To begin with, we analyzed the concept hypothetically and created a file with the complete details covering all these points, diagrams, scenarios, problems, flow charts, and SRS for the entire workflow and planned the App development process. After finalizing the document, In the third phase, based on the client's requirements and our findings we defined Mobile App architectures for the My Travel Book Mobile App. After that, Our Mobile app designers started working on the prepared mobile app wireframes and Application design. After getting approval on the final app design, our app developers move ahead with the development phase. We created the prototype for the My Travel Book app with all the native data, After the client's review and confirmation of the prototype. The Mobile app developers started their development process by choosing the best-fit technology for Android, iOS, and the admin panel. We integrated APIs in the Caby app and completed the whole app data flow.
We chose native technology Kotlin for Android development and used JSON-based rest API development with CodeIgniter and Laravel Framework. Hyperlink Infosystem developers used Angular 9 to create an admin panel for basic tasks such as managing users, properties, owners, trips, ratings, reviews, etc. We used web3 for calling smart contracts with the help of Solidity. Our app developers used Magic SDK for passwordless authentication providing secure login. Our app developers eliminated the problem of poor user experience with the help of a Matic network to deliver an exceptional user experience.
From requirement gathering to deployment, the My Travel Book app development journey was full of challenges. However, our dedication and teamwork led us to deliver the solution successfully, as well as within the prescribed timeline & budget. After the development phase, our QA team tested the mobile application before finally delivering it to the client.
Challenges
1. User-friendly and easy-to-use UI
The primary concern of the Travel Management mobile application is to calculate the total travel distance of every user. So, our mobile app developer created many custom views and created a UI that looks modern at the same time it should be simple and easy to use.
2. Booking Management
As not every property can not be available to book due to the non-availability set by the owner of the properties or any other reason, we had to check the availability of the property before allowing other users to book the one. To resolve this challenge our app developers integrated a third-party API that makes sure to mark the unavailability of the property in the calendar before allowing users to book one.
3. Payment Specifications
As the users can allow other travelers to join them on the trip through the come aboard trip, it was a bit complex to define the accurate budget and break them based on the count of travelers and eliminate the friends of trip creators who are already part of the trip. Our developers delivered positive results by applying various algorithms and integrated third-party APIs to resolve the challenge.
4. Travel Badges
In the My Travel Book app Travelers can earn different travel badges based on the total km they have traveled this was a challenging part of the My Travel Book app as the system needs to manage the total traveled distance of every user and at the same time, the system needs to upgrade the Travel badges based on their trips.
Technology Stacks
We have used the latest technologies that can justify client requirements at the best to deliver bug-free solutions.
