Netherlands
🇳🇱Overview
The Desty Travel service, which is the project for the Shopping Minds company, makes it possible for travellers to book a city trip together with accommodation, local transport and unique activities. In addition, travel websites can use the service to offer different travel options by merging different suppliers. In this way, travel websites can put together a complete package holiday, which can then be marketed smartly via data with the Shopping Minds Cloud Data Platform.
Services Provided for This Case
Challenge
The real challenge for developers was to connect all services and ensure that they all worked properly. The problem was in the incompatibility of these services, and not all services provided an appropriate reliability level. However, the development team managed to build business logic for each service and connect them. Also, developers had contacted service providers directly when they needed to integrate any service.
Solution
A flexible team with highly experienced key players. An efficient setup of the git-flow and extensive code review practices. The tech leads took responsibility for communicating with service providers and adjusting the APIs provided to the single platform.
The management organised the development process in a way each engineer understood the whole picture of the project and did his/her part responsibly, taking their time for discussing and researching the best solutions.

Result
The platform works efficiently, and it provides custom-made tours for each customer. Also, our client can adapt this system specifically for each new customer. The product hit the market during the COVID-19 pandemic, while many competitors experienced difficulties. The company has made substantial investments in an innovative product with competitive advantages over existing solutions due to the outdated hospitality industry with a low automation level.
Previously, only the larger companies had such platforms as Desty's new product, but they weren’t affordable for most travel agencies. Desty has changed that, and now any travel agency can purchase and use it — it is a ready-made service for small and mid-sized businesses. The project has a closed cycle of end-to-end sales of travel services

Clients & Testimonials
The first success metric is Go Wombat’s ability to stick to the roadmap we’ve built together. They’ve been great at delivering when they said they would deliver. We have a big release planned for the end of this week, and they’re on track. They’ve actually delivered everything already, which has given us more time for additional testing.
What's worked really well for us is to see Go Wombat as an extension of our team and not just as a supplier. The company has become a trusted partner. Their thorough planning and ability to stick to a schedule are notable. Customers can expect a partner that integrates smoothly into existing teams and responds well to constructive feedback.
[The software] is working really well, and the experience for the user is seamless. Internal stakeholders are extremely pleased with Go Wombat's skills, which led to the successful completion of the platform and to an ongoing collaboration. The team is thoughtful, creative, and organized, and their development skills are unmatched.
There are a lot of places where they’ve helped us. We’re good statisticians, and we can program a little bit, but Go Wombat is in a different league. The structure and tuning of the databases were handled by them. It involves millions and millions of calculations that have to happen when a user does something like pulling a slide.
Go Wombat developed a custom cloud-based solution for Frontdesk Nordic, a Telecom PBX provider in Sweden with a total of 60 employees. All of the developers from the very beginning of our collaboration demonstrated a great seriousness and willingness to cooperate as a team. They used Django to create a tool that automates the counting of deals and other tasks.
Vladimir and the rest of the developers have helped us very much in streamlining our systems and bringing in good flows to our customers. They have worked in a good and efficient way, but above all we have been pleased with the communication between our companies and the employees. We have only strong recommendations, when it comes to working with Go Wombat.
We have worked with Go Wombat for a bit more than half a year now, hiring both the full-time services of frontend and backend developers on their team. Our experience has been excellent, the team has been able to solve any architecture dilemmas and helped us achieve our software goals in a shorter timeframe than we had initially planned.
The collaboration has been smooth and we have been able to develop our service further and tackle some difficult technical issues together. I would recommend working with Go Wombat because their main focus is the delivery of software that works and their developers are willing to go the extra mile in terms of creativity to make that happen.
Efficiency, knowledge and responsiveness is what first comes to mind when I think about Go Wombat. I had very good communication with the project manager and the developers had a great understanding of the project. They also kept documentation, so the software maintenance and upgrading have been straightforward.
The project consisted of front-end development, and considering the result I will not hesitate hiring them on further various projects. I am pleased to be able to say that I can recommend Go Wombat, their technical knowledge, creativity, and ability to complete complex tasks helped accelerate the project and move it forward.
We have been using Go Wombat for outsourcing parts of our development for several months now, and it's been a fully positive experience. Our team is satisfied with how the Go Wombat developers communicate, solve issues, and take the initiative whenever the problem is time-sensitive.
The team works fast, they ask the right questions, come up with ideas for solutions, and can work both independently and in closer collaboration. They have become one of the driving forces in the creation of our software and we’ve been very impressed with everything. Definitely recommended.
We have been working together for 5 years already on dozens of various projects.

They also fuse agility, applications functionality, and new technologies implementation very well.
We've faced a lot of technical challenges during our cooperation on security systems, logistics and traffic management, and data analysis where Go Wombat showed a strong grip over the situation and profound expertise. We know the capability of their team and expect them to do everything on a high level — and they do.
Their engineers are dedicated and reliable, and they deliver at an excellent standard. Go Wombat has delivered efficiently and flexibly alongside internal teams, and the client has transformed the architecture of their custom solution thanks to them. They are flexible to our work methods, communication style, and changing needs.
By having a microservices-based system, the company is now also able to provide high-quality services at a reasonable cost for us. They often take the initiative to suggest improvements in the process and our product, which saves us a lot of time and work. Their engineers are highly engaged with us, our customers, and the product quality.
Go Wombat has been able to both understand our initial concept and create a final system. The product looks fantastic and Go Wombat's design work has been exemplary throughout the project. It is a valuable ongoing partnership largely because the technical experience is a welcome addition to our founding team.
Go Wombat created our first product, and handled everything from design and coding through to hosting. Companies can expect a dedicated and responsive team during their whole project. I fully expected them to put the project on hold for six months, but they never missed a beat. They kept on working. It was miraculous.
We're most impressed with Go Wombat's strong project ownership. We give Go Wombat excellent feedback on their responsiveness, out-of-the-box approach, and problem-solving skills. With their help, we’ve been able to keep our customers happy, so we are more than satisfied with their work.
