Maika: moving private-tour quotes out of spreadsheets
A tour operator that quoted every private tour by hand, and the quoting platform we built with them.
Short answer: Maika is a tour operator with local guides across Vietnam and Asia. Every custom private tour was quoted by hand in spreadsheets. We built a custom platform with an internal quoting engine, multi-currency pricing, a light CRM and an SEO-ready website.
Problem
Maika quotes custom private tours in several currencies. Every quote was built by hand in spreadsheets.
Approach
We started with Workflow Automation and then moved to Custom Software. The result is a custom platform that holds the quoting logic in one place instead of in spreadsheets.
Result
Maika now has an internal quoting engine with multi-currency pricing, a light CRM and an SEO-ready website. We handed over the source code and documentation.
What we built
- Quoting engine. An internal tool for building quotes with multi-currency pricing.
- A light CRM. Customer and quote records kept with the engine.
- A public website. Built to be found in search.
The stack
The platform uses Next.js, Payload CMS and NestJS.
