An international language-education agency wanted one place where students discover language courses abroad, book a course with accommodation and extras, upload their travel documents and get help, and where staff manage it all.
The challenge
The agency needed one mobile platform where students discover and book language courses abroad, and a separate CRM where its staff manage bookings and verify documents.
Browse and book language courses in several destination countries.
Book accommodation together with the course, in one transaction.
Add services: local SIM cards, airport transfers, guided tours.
Check visas, passports and other travel documents.
An AI course advisor that helps students choose a course in their own language.
Guest browsing and registered accounts; a CRM for staff to manage bookings and documents.
