Project Summary

CognitiveClouds developed a travel platform comprising iOS and Android apps for travelers and a web app for travel agents, including chat, analytics, and a closed social community. The vendor created UI mock-ups, launched the original product in December 2019, and later pivoted to focus on travel agents due to COVID-19. The original app demonstrated consistent uptime and positive user feedback; the team introduced Figma and shifted the UI lead into a PM role during the web-app phase.

Key Challenges

Project Solution

CognitiveClouds built the travel solution end-to-end: iOS and Android apps for travelers and a web application for travel agents. They produced UI mock-ups to simplify a complex backend, implemented chat, analytics, and a closed social community, and later redesigned the web app to pivot the product toward travel-agent workflows. They introduced Figma to streamline UI development and had the UI lead serve as project manager to maintain delivery momentum.

Project Outcome

The original app achieved consistent uptime and received positive user feedback.
CognitiveClouds enabled the client to pivot to a web/desktop flagship focused on travel agents.
The vendor demonstrated agility and quick response during the COVID-19 pivot.
Introduction of Figma streamlined UI development and improved delivery coordination.
