The Challenge
Our client, a rapidly expanding travel agency, faced significant challenges in scaling their operations due to manual hotel onboarding, unstructured tour package listings, and no centralized system to manage suppliers or customer inquiries.
They envisioned a comprehensive web portal where:
Hotels could self-onboard and manage listings
Tour packages could be easily published and updated
Travelers could view, compare, and send inquiries
The backend would remain cost-efficient, scalable, and low-maintenance
However, the client lacked technical expertise in choosing the right:
Tech stack for frontend and backend
Server infrastructure for scalability and performance
Automation workflows for onboarding hotels
That’s where Dork Industry came in as their strategic IT consulting partner.
Our approach
Discovery & Requirement Analysis
We began with a detailed consultation and workflow mapping to understand:
The client’s business model and operational bottlenecks
User personas: hotel admins, agency managers, and end-customers
Future scalability needs and budget constraints
Tech Stack Recommendation
We provided a technology roadmap tailored to their needs:
Frontend: React.js (for dynamic user experience)
Backend: Node.js with Express (for fast, scalable APIs)
Database: MongoDB (for flexible, document-based storage)
Admin Panel: Strapi CMS (customizable and user-friendly)
Authentication: JWT and OAuth integration
Hosting: Cloud-based deployment with DigitalOcean or AWS EC2
CI/CD Pipeline: GitHub Actions for seamless deployments
Server Architecture Design
To ensure uptime, speed, and future scalability, we designed:
A microservices-ready architecture for modular development
Load-balanced application servers
Nginx as a reverse proxy
Dockerized environments for consistency across dev/staging/production
SSL configuration and auto-renewals via Let’s Encrypt
Hotel Onboarding Automation
We proposed a self-registration flow for hotels:
Hotels register & verify via email or phone
Upload property images, amenities, availability, and pricing
Admin approval and smart moderation with automation triggers
API integration for updating availability dynamically
We also enabled basic workflow automation using n8n.io, reducing manual follow-ups and saving time.
UI/UX Design Support
Our design team provided:
Interactive wireframes using Figma
Responsive design for mobile-first travelers
Clean, minimal interface for hotels to manage listings
SEO-optimized layouts with CTA placements to drive conversion
The Results
- 40+ Hotels onboarded in the first month via self-service portal
- Reduced operational cost by automating manual onboarding tasks
- The client now has full control over listings, analytics, and content updates without any tech dependency
- Portal Launched in 10 weeks with full hotel onboarding system
