Under the CEE Travel Systems brand, Travelport operates in 12 countries across Central and Eastern Europe. The company develops and runs a wide range of technology products for travel retail—booking tools, online booking platforms, APIs for service integrations, and tools for group reservations. It is a player whose scope and technical complexity significantly exceed the industry average.

Rapid platform growth hit the limits of the internal team

The client needed to accelerate the development of new modules while maintaining the stability of existing applications—without permanently expanding their internal team. They were looking for a flexible partner capable of handling spikes in demand, supporting the modernization of internal tools, and managing payment gateway integrations, all without compromising code quality or system security.

Travel retail is a highly complex environment, combining various services such as flights, hotels, transport providers, and more. It requires a robust and modular architecture, where changes in one part must not destabilize the whole system. On top of that, there was a need for rapid delivery of new features, secure and reliable integration of payment gateways and external APIs, and finally a common outsourcing challenge: ensuring that the external team truly functions as an extension of the internal one, shares its standards, and communicates seamlessly.

We joined as an extension of the client’s development team with a clear goal

To provide capacity where it was needed without increasing the client’s long-term staffing burden. We worked on modernizing internal applications, integrating payment gateways, and developing new modules—always with a focus on stability, security, and clean code. The flexible cooperation model allowed the client to respond to demand peaks without compromising the quality of delivery.
