Paralela 45, more than 30 years in travel
Paralela 45 is one of the best-known travel agencies in Romania, with more than 30 years in business. Its offer includes seaside holidays, exotic trips, cultural tours, city breaks, cruises, accommodation in Romania and abroad, and flights.
A large catalog, with prices and seats that change all the time
The agency sells five types of products (package holidays, tours, accommodation, holidays in Romania and flights), with departures from several cities and promotions tied to the calendar: early booking, last minute, Easter, 1 May, Pentecost. Each offer has its own periods, prices and discounts.
Offer data comes from Eurosite, and prices and available seats change all the time. A site that shows an outdated price or a seat that is already sold loses the customer's trust, while one that asks Eurosite for everything on every page view becomes slow.
The goal was a fast platform with correct prices at all times, one that grows online bookings and makes the Paralela 45 team's work simpler.
The solution built by DevTeam
We built a travel booking platform integrated with Eurosite, with its own admin panel. These are the main components.
Eurosite integration: live prices and seats
The platform imports offers from Eurosite through a system that handles data differently, depending on how often it changes. Pages load fast, and the price and availability shown are always the real ones.
The platform imports offers from Eurosite automatically, with no manual data entry on the site.
Information that rarely changes, such as descriptions and photos, is stored in the platform, so pages don't wait for Eurosite to display it.
Sensitive information, such as the price and the number of available seats, is refreshed from Eurosite when the page loads, whenever needed.
Customers always see the real price and available seats, and the site stays fast.
Admin panel for packages and offers
From the admin panel, the Paralela 45 team manages travel packages, offers, promotions and bookings without a developer: early booking, last minute and special offers.
Seasonal campaigns, such as Easter or 1 May, get their own sections on the homepage, and discounted offers show the original price struck through next to the new one.
Advanced search and filtering
The homepage search engine covers package holidays, tours, accommodation, holidays in Romania and flights. Visitors choose the destination, departure city, travel date, number of travelers and number of nights.
On offer pages, the destination filter shows how many offers each country has, and tours and hotels appear in separate tabs.
Tours and charter flights by departure city
Tours are organized by means of transport and departure city: by plane from Bucharest, Cluj-Napoca, Iași, Timișoara and other cities, by coach from Bucharest. In the menu, destinations are grouped by continent.
The charter flights page shows departure dates and what each package includes: return flight, cabin and checked baggage, airport–hotel–airport transfer.
Secure online booking and payment
Customers create an account, add the offer to the cart and pay online by card, through EuPlătesc or Netopia. They receive notifications by email and SMS, and the booking lands in the admin panel, where the Paralela 45 team picks it up.
