This ski ticketing app was designed to make ski resort access faster and more convenient by offering users the flexibility to purchase time-based packages. With this app, skiers can buy and manage hours to use at various participating resorts. It not only saves time at ticket booths but also lets users adjust their schedule to fit their skiing preferences.
Our client operates in the ski resort industry and wanted to enhance the ticketing experience for their customers. They identified a growing demand for more flexible access to ski resorts, allowing users to plan visits on their own terms. Seeking to move away from rigid, fixed ticketing, the client envisioned a digital solution that would simplify ticket purchasing and add convenience. Their goal was to offer a system that would let customers manage their ski hours with ease and enjoy more freedom across multiple resorts.
The client faced several challenges with their current ticket sales and management processes, which they wanted to address through an app and web system:
Manual Ticket Management: The client was manually managing ticket sales, promotions, and information updates from ski resorts, making the process slow and inefficient.
Customer and Resort Management: They needed a system to manage customer details and resort operations, including ticket sales by time and region, and to offer flexible ticketing options based on hours or days.
Gifting and Reporting: They wanted the ability to allow customers to gift tickets within the app and to automatically send detailed usage reports to customers via email.
To address these challenges, our team implemented targeted solutions tailored to meet each requirement. Key features of each solution include:
To address this, we developed an automated system within both the mobile app and web application to streamline ticket management. Using Flutter for mobile and PHP (Laravel) for the web backend, this solution automates ticket sales and promotions, allowing customers to purchase tickets and view promotions directly within the app. This reduces manual efforts and improves accuracy.
Key Features:
Automated Ticket Sales: Enables users to buy tickets through the app without manual processing.
Promotions Management: Admins can quickly create and update promotions, ensuring customers receive the latest offers in real-time.
Real-Time Ticket Updates: Reflects ticket purchases and availability instantly, removing delays.
We implemented a robust management system through the web application that allows admins to manage customer profiles and resort details in one centralized location. This solution, powered by Laravel and hosted on AWS EC2, also integrates with the mobile app to give users the flexibility to purchase tickets by hour or day, meeting diverse user needs.
Key Features:
Customer Profile Management: Allows admins to view and update customer details, ensuring accurate records.
Resort Operations Management: Centralized dashboard to oversee resort-specific ticketing options, including time- and day-based tickets.
Flexible Ticketing Options: Users can select tickets based on hours or days, providing them with customizable access to ski resorts.
We added ticket gifting functionality within the mobile app, allowing users to send tickets to friends or family members with ease. For automated reporting, the web application sends email updates on ticket usage, powered by Laravel’s built-in mailing functions. This solution not only enhances user engagement but also saves the client time on manual reporting tasks.
Key Features:
Ticket Gifting: Users can gift ski tickets within the app, enhancing social connectivity and user satisfaction.
Automated Email Reports: Sends customers detailed usage reports, keeping them informed and reducing manual work for the client.
Notification System: Alerts customers on ticket usage and updates, creating a more interactive experience.
The development of the project platform resulted in:
► Improved Efficiency: Automated ticket sales and customer management reduced manual workload, allowing staff to focus on higher-value tasks.
► Enhanced User Experience: The mobile app’s flexible ticket purchasing options and intuitive interface led to increased user satisfaction and engagement.
► Scalability: The system was designed to easily incorporate new features, enabling the client to expand ticketing options and adapt to future needs.
► Increased Customer Engagement: Features like ticket gifting and automated reporting encouraged users to interact more frequently with the app, fostering customer loyalty.
► Seamless Multi-Platform Access: Consistent performance across iOS and Android devices made it easy for users to access the app, regardless of their preferred platform.
This project redefined the client’s management of ski tickets and customer service. We replaced manual processes with a streamlined digital system. This change reduced costs and made ticket sales, customer data, and promotions more efficient. The app’s intuitive design and flexible options make planning visits and gifting tickets easy for customers. The scalable backend is ready to support new features as the client’s needs expand. Overall, this project boosted operational efficiency, improved customer satisfaction, and set a strong foundation for future growth.
