System Modernization and Integration for Revenue Management Platform

The client’s existing revenue management application is built on an outdated framework, leading to performance issues and maintenance complexities due to tightly coupled components. The system's architecture hampers scalability, and the lack of modular design restricts the addition of new features such as integrated APIs, real-time data processing, and automation. Additionally, manual intervention and risk of human error in pricing override processes undermine operational efficiency, necessitating a modernization initiative to improve performance, flexibility, and integration capabilities.

A global hospitality software provider supporting thousands of hotels worldwide, seeking to enhance its revenue management platform.

• Migrate the existing legacy system to a modern, scalable technology stack to improve performance and maintainability.
• Redesign the architecture to a domain-driven model promoting flexibility and modularity, enabling easier updates and feature expansion.
• Develop and implement a custom API to facilitate seamless integration with other internal services and third-party solutions, including single sign-on functionality.
• Optimize core algorithms responsible for data sorting, filtering, and forecasting metrics related to hotel occupancy and pricing, to enhance accuracy and reliability.
• Implement validation mechanisms to prevent pricing errors and enforce business rules automatically.
• Enable multithreaded processing to significantly reduce system load times.
• Establish CI/CD pipelines for rapid, automated deployment and scaling, reducing release cycles to within 10 minutes.
• Host the system on a cloud platform with autoscaling capabilities to ensure high availability and operational efficiency.
• Achieve comprehensive unit test coverage to ensure system robustness.

• Migration from legacy .NET Framework to a modern development stack supporting scalability and maintainability.
• Re-architecting system components to a domain-driven design for better flexibility and code reusability.
• Creation of a comprehensive API interface for system integration, including support for single sign-on and third-party services.
• Enhanced algorithm engine for processing 40+ metrics related to demand forecasting and pricing recommendations.
• Validation layer to enforce business rules and prevent manual override errors.
• Implementation of multithreading to decrease loading times from approximately 40 seconds to under 10 seconds.
• Automated deployment pipeline using Azure DevOps for rapid release cycles and autoscaling deployment on a cloud platform.
• Code coverage through unit testing to ensure quality and stability.

• Other internal services within the proprietary platform suite
• Third-party solutions for additional analytics or booking systems
• Single sign-on (SSO) integration to streamline user access

• System load times reduced from 40 seconds to under 10 seconds
• Deployment automation to enable feature releases within 10 minutes
