Success Story

Raft

A search engine for ferry booking.

TravelBooking

RAFT Croatia is a search engine for booking ferries. RAFT’s mission is to make transportation between the islands and coastal cities of Croatia stress-free and seamless.

The Challenge

Ferry transportation is a niche industry, and there was no search engine or metadata platform for servicing this market — globally or within individual countries. This meant we had to build most of it on our own.

We needed to design and implement platforms and tools for passengers to buy ferry tickets, as well as solutions for ferry companies to manage their routes and operate their business.

The solution

RAFT Croatia Online

Online Ferry Tickets Booking
A searchable trip database (one-way, round-trip, or multi-stop trips) and tools to book trips online.
Integration with Payment Gateways
Integration with Stripe and local payment gateways.
My account section
Tools for customer account creation allow users to access their information and view, reschedule, or cancel trips.
Active communication channels with customers
We integrated with SMS and Email providers to send notifications and other relevant information to the customers. This includes booking confirmations, schedule changes, etc.
