Restart the mobile app for Sletat.ru — a travel price comparison service

The service covers 179 countries, more than 81,000 hotels, and your friends. The Sletat.ru search engine finds more than 112 million tours daily. 1.5 million tourists turn to the service monthly — all of them are looking for, viewing, and choosing tours for their next vacation.

The Sletat.ru audience does not change its habits. Users have been choosing this service for years; it has already become part of their vacation ritual. Therefore, it was impossible to change the application radically, we could update and refresh it.

Sletat.ru helps people to reboot themselves. And we helped the company to be rebooted too, restarted the Android application, and finalized the iOS version.

The service has a quite conservative audience and we tried to take this into account during the redesign. We have refreshed the visual without any great upheavals for users.

Enter the city of departure, date, and pax. The system analyzes and shows the best offers in real-time mode. It takes into account the cost, hotel, or proximity to the sea.

Look at the map to select a hotel. The system clearly shows how close it is located to the sea.

The service demonstrates different forms of entering personal data according to the document: a passport, an international passport, or a birth certificate.

Its backend collects tours from all operators. Sletat.ru updates quite frequently and collects new data in its backend. Offers are changed every second. We’ve worked out all the details to make it good-looking.

The project was expected to be vast — two platforms and great functionality. The app is complicated because of numerous operators, complex data output in real-time, and a significant amount of data that needs to be processed properly. There is a lot of business logic too. So, the first version of the application has become a full-fledged service, which does not look like the MVP.

In the first month, we built the framework of the future app so that we could run the script completely. As a result, we saw things that must be fixed and completed. Then we started to build the rest of the functionality based on the prototype.

We met the deadline and developed an application in four months. Our team had released the first version and gone into quarantine. Therefore it’s soon to talk about some results. The case will be supplemented with metrics and results as soon as we resume application development.
