Challenge

The challenge for the MOVU team was to create a booking platform where providers could make quotes based on an online inventory or a video without having seen the apartment in question. The process needed to be trustworthy because deviations could cost a lot of money very quickly and at the same time the process needed to be smooth and fast to create proper offers.

Solution

The Solution was to build a sophisticated questionnaire for clients including intelligent systems to better estimate the actual inventory based on the clients input. At the same time there was a need to create a provider portal to manage all the bookings as well as a CRM/Backoffice for MOVU itself to manage the many inquiries and partners. The marketplace and booking engine were created within 8 months and thereafter steadily conversion optimised and improved by using data models to better classify and prioritise the different inquiries.

CEO of MOVU

Since Day 1 of our development we’ve been working with Holycode and have come a long way since then. Building the biggest relocation platform and booking engine in Switzerland as well as a SaaS based platform for our partner companies is no mean feat and we couldn’t be happier with our 8+ years of collaboration.
