How to create an aggregator application for booking

The development of technologies allows programmers to create applications. Mobile apps are becoming an integral part of travel planning, business trips, and hotel reservations. Booking apps have gained a lot of popularity due to their security and safety. The addition of new features in booking applications has attracted many entrepreneurs to the market who are improving the functions of mobile applications. To date, many mobile applications allow you to quickly book a hotel room, flight, make an appointment with a doctor, etc. The questions arise, how do these applications work, and do they provide the user with strong guarantees?

Mobile apps for booking are a powerful marketing tool for interacting with guests. They expand business opportunities, attract new customers, and simplify communication with the hotel for guests. The integration of new technologies will scale the business and make it even more attractive.

Mobile apps for flight booking are attractive to customers too. Users can follow the update of offers.  Buy tickets if someone else has handed them over, book in advance with a discount, choose an air carrier and compare prices.

Mobile apps for making an appointment with a doctor provide users to choose a specialist. Such applications can be created at the request of a public clinic or private clinics in the country/city.

What should the customer know about the booking app?

Applications for reserving certain services are primarily convenient for the future business consumer. When ordering the development of backup applications from an IT company, it is necessary to answer the question, “What advantages will the future consumer look for in my application”. Depending on the field of activity, the components will change. Therefore, PNN Soft has collected the main aspects of a high-quality reservation application for the client. 

Now, most companies aim to create convenient applications with which users can book a service anywhere in the world in a minimum amount of time. Booking applications greatly simplify the process of doing business. Each application is developed individually for business. As a rule, developers select the right set of tools that will help you get the maximum benefit. The main goal of developing a successful product is to make a convenient tool for both the client and the management. The guest selects the appropriate option, reads reviews and books, and then receives confirmation. This is the basic functionality of such systems. 

How can online booking contribute to conducting effective business activities?

Even though mobile booking applications have individual functionality, many tools are similar. To find the optimal solution, it is recommended to implement several functions before development. Exactly:

• viewing tools;
• booking tools with the ability to select a date, enter all data; 
• contactless payment;
• map with address, nearest stops, and route (if necessary);
• view reviews, ratings, and comments;
• introduction of additional tools for comfortable interaction (ordering food, calling cleaning, and so on);
• introduction of several language versions of the application for foreign tourists;
• loyalty program;
• support service, chat, or another way of communicating with managers;
• notifications and reminders;
• reviews and ratings;
• the possibility of cancellation, transfer of booking;
• viewing the contact details of the persons providing the services that the user is booking;
• deleting a user account.

In any case, individual business features are taken into account when developing a booking application. 

Current features of the mobile booking application

Aggregator applications for booking are a huge step forward, expanding opportunities and increasing profits. We will provide several reasons why booking applications are profitable for business:

• Attendance is increasing. Customers can pre-consider the service they need. Effective advertising of the application will give more visitors, and the loyalty program will make them permanent.
• The load on the staff is reduced. In the application, users receive answers to many questions (regarding the service, conditions of receipt, quality of service, etc.). Online booking features reduce the likelihood of possible errors.
• Profit increases due to modern features that are convenient and attract new users. 
• Transparency of relations with the client. As a rule, reviews in booking apps are more reliable. It is more convenient for the user to log in through the application where he booked the service than on a special website for reviews or in the social networks of the hotel or clinic.
• An additional expansion of opportunities at the expense of partners. There is an opportunity to interact with tour agencies, guides, transport companies, and other partners. Due to additional functions, the competitiveness and scalability of the projected increase.

The integration of new technologies helps to stand out from the competition, offering favourable conditions. If necessary, PNN Soft provides technical support on an ongoing basis. Custom application development from our company provides full efficiency and reliability. Because we individually develop solutions for each business, we also select a project implementation plan. 

The main advantages of the online booking system

Speed and ease of use

Online planning is the simplest but most powerful tool that will enable customers to easily and quickly book available services.

Free access

Most customers go online after hours. Free access 24/7 is one of the best advantages of booking systems.

Real-time mode

As soon as the customer selects the desired service, he intends to view the available date and time for the visit. The ability to view the calendar for dates and times increases the number of new customers.

Quality of service

If you want to be loyal to the needs and expectations of your customers, you should listen to reviews and comments. Customers with reliability will be able to book and pay for the service. Good service and safe functionality of the system are key parts of customer loyalty.

Growth of new customers

One of the main advantages is to attract a large audience because today, smartphones, tablets, and other portable devices are extremely widespread. This provides an individual base for obtaining additional income.

Transparency of relations with the client

The client gets support with the application. For example, the presence of filters gives users a great choice of service providers. What is more, the person who provides the service in booking applications cannot close comments or delete them. Customers can be sure of the quality of the company or etc. But, if the service providers face fake comments or untruths reviews, they can appeal to app support.

The development of a booking system is a complex process that requires a lot of details. Thus, the creation of mobile booking systems allows you to automate the processing of applications, saving the company’s money and the client’s time. This is largely due to their popularity.
