Terhal is an innovative travel platform designed to connect users with curated travel offers while fostering seamless communication between users and travel agencies. By integrating real-time chat and AI-powered tools, Terhal simplifies the travel planning process, offering users a personalized and streamlined experience. The project’s phased development ensures continuous enhancement of features, ultimately delivering a robust and user-centric platform.
How Did We Develop Terhal Using the Agile Approach?
Phase 1 – Building the Core Platform
The initial phase focused on creating the foundation of Terhal by enabling travel agencies to create accounts and showcase their offers. Agencies could upload photos and prices with minimal details, simplifying their onboarding process. Users were provided with an intuitive interface to explore these offers and view agency profiles. Additionally, live data integration from third-party services for hotels and flights was implemented, allowing users to access comprehensive travel options directly within the platform. WhatsApp was integrated for agency-user communication, enabling quick and direct interactions.
Phase 2 – Enabling Personalized User Experiences
The second phase emphasized personalization and interaction. Users were given the ability to create custom travel requests, which agencies could respond to through WhatsApp chat. This feature allowed for tailored offers based on individual preferences. To enhance user experience further, real-time chat was introduced within the app, providing a seamless and interactive communication channel between users and agencies for faster queries and booking finalizations.
Phase 3 – Streamlining Payments and AI Integration
The final phase focused on completing the booking cycle and enhancing communication through AI. A secure payment system was added, allowing users to accept offers and pay directly through the app. This feature streamlined the transaction process and built trust among users. Additionally, WhatsApp integration was upgraded with an AI-powered chatbot to handle user inquiries and requests efficiently. The AI chatbot provided instant, accurate responses, ensuring a smoother and more responsive experience for both users and agencies.
The Final Outcome
Terhal has transformed into a comprehensive travel platform that simplifies the travel planning process from discovery to booking. Its key features—integrated travel offers, real-time communication, and AI-powered tools—have made it a reliable and innovative solution in the travel industry. By merging cutting-edge technology with user-friendly design, Terhal delivers a seamless and personalized travel experience, meeting the diverse needs of users and agencies alike.
