Development Phase 5 - Finalize, Deploy & Live In-Market Refinements of Booking System, & Itinerary Planner
Pathfinder365 is a digital command centre, supporting the end-to-end digital needs of small to medium sized Canadian tourism businesses...from Discovery & Promotion , to Lead & Inquiry Management , (and soon) to Booking & Scheduling . As we evolve our own technology, and leverage strategic integrations, our focus is the holistic support and growth of the Canadian tourism industry. We're the first and only software company to create a powerful operational command centre for tourism businesses, and we aim to become the most useful platform for local and micro-tourism. Existing platforms primarily showcase popular experiences, leaving much of the industry unsupported. Pathfinder stands apart by championing and promoting smaller businesses, aiming for inclusivity across the diverse tourism landscape. In a world dominated by financially-driven algorithms and ads, travellers often miss out on lesser-known, but exceptional, experiences. Pathfinder365 seeks to rectify this imbalance by offering a fairer representation, ensuring a broader discovery of brilliant destinations. Pathfinder365’s mission is to revolutionize the current landscape of tourism platforms, advocating for fairness and a more comprehensive view of available travel experiences, while providing a full suite of promotional and lead management tools for its business partners, and a suite of discovery tools for its travellers. As we've evolved this system over our young life of 2.5 years, we've focused on building out the three key stages of a typical customer journey, discussed earlier. We've successfully built a solid foundation for the Discovery & Promotion stage, and we've integrated a comprehensive and dynamic lead management system to cover the Lead & Inquiry Management stage. Now it's time for the Booking & Scheduling system, which is a huge undertaking, and a critical one. With this project, we're looking to engage with a small team of talented full-stack developers to collaborate with our two internal developers, to build the first version of a tactical Booking & Scheduling system. This first version needs to be effective, efficient, and be the foundation for successive iterations for this system, which could eventually evolve into a dynamic property management system. This phase will involve: Live in-market deployment of the Booking & Scheduling system to our test site Testing the system with test data, and potentially having actual customers run through it Addressing any UX/UI issues discovered through live testing Updates, fixes, pushing code fixes Potentially pushing the code to our live site Identify and track necessary features for subsequent iterations Track all innovations in a document Starting to code the Itinerary Planner
