The client is a hotel offering to it's guests unusual pricing options which are not available in standard hotel room reservation applications: price of the room rental is not strictly linked to the number of guests; additional services are not included into the price but are ordered as separate items instead. Thus, the hotel developed it's own online reservation system matching its unique offerings. Still, the system needed improvement. The client's web-site allowed reservations of one room at a time. According to client's requirements, Arcadian team implemented the following new functionalities:
1) Multiple room reservation for one customer. This feature required changes in user interface, business layer, database structure and communication protocol with Amadeus Property Management System.
2) Possibility for registered users to log in and make a reservation without paying it online. Instead, they receive invoices later.
