Case Study: Amatori - Impression #1

Case Study: Fourfold Increase in Users for Online Ferry Booking System

Amatori is a maritime agency and tour operator promoting travel between Italy and Croatia. Its route includes connections through Ancona, Bari, Spalato, Stari Grad, Zara, Dubrovnik and Montenegro.

The core feature of Amatori website is an online booking system, that allows tourists and agencies to book ferries, cutting out any mediator. Due to an external change in a partner system, Amatori needed to quickly update the booking tool and got in touch with Extera, Pimcore Gold Partner.

Challenge

A completely new and integrated online booking service

In order to grant to users the ability to check availability, customize their travel and reserve ferry tickets to different destinations, the Amatori network needs to connect and exchange data with an external system. This external system had changed after many years, forcing Amatori to update the online booking service in a matter of a few months. This urgency led Amatori to plan a new booking interface. Extera introduced the client to Pimcore, suggesting a complete renovation of their site. Pimcore was the best choice to handle different aspects of the site experience and bring formerly detached services, split over different domains, together.
