Custom direct booking engine eliminating high intermediary platform fees and automating guest communication globally.
Problem and objectives
The property owner relied primarily on OTA marketplaces. While Booking.com and Airbnb delivered visibility, they took 15-20% of every reservation fee. There was no direct mechanism for instant card/BLIK deposits and customer relationships were kept walled off.
Custom engineering solution
I designed and deployed an independent Next.js platform featuring real-time date availability, two-way iCal sync across external portals, and secure Stripe Checkout payment processing.
Measurable business impact
The owner operates an autonomous booking engine with 100% direct revenue (0% commissions). Google Lighthouse mobile audits score 99-100/100 and direct guest checkouts save thousands every season.
