Navigating data and dynamic challenges
The project faced a notable challenge due to the sheer scale of data management. It involved a staggering 7.7 million data objects and an inventory of over 63,000 asset objects. Effectively managing and utilizing this extensive amount of data and assets underscored the project's complexity, highlighting the need for a robust and efficient platform like Pimcore to handle this considerable volume effectively.
Moreover, trip deals could appear and disappear very quickly. Rapidly changing travel offers required an innovative, adaptable tech framework.

This highlighted the need for an agile, responsive approach, ensuring optimal performance in this dynamic market.
