Client

Business Needs
The client needed a overhaul of a ColdFusion web Application for online car/truck booking and partners and promotion management. The web based application was to be incorporated in the client web site and would allow people to book the vehicles online. One of the biggest challenges was that the database for the application was already being used by multiple in-house applications and the new site was supposed use the same database without disturbing its sanctity.
Our Solution
The ColdFusion software support and solution provided by isummation technologies allows site users to book rental cars and trucks online. The application allows the users to make, modify or cancel reservations online.
By selecting the pick-up location and time details, the user will be able to view all the options. There are several rate types that are applicable like internet rate, special promotions, corporate rates etc. In case specific rate code is entered, the vehicle and price options will be displayed accordingly.
- Reservations :
Site banners and scheme promotions vary on the site based on the location and rate scheme selected by the user. If at any time during the vehicle selection process, a user moves to a different page, a synopsis of selection steps is displayed on the left panel. A small edit button is placed next to each so that the user can make changes at that step.
- Data Updates :
The application constantly updates the vehicle availability information from a central database that is accessed by multiple applications. All registration information is stored in session variables till the time the user clicks the ‘Checkout’ button. Only at this time the data is entered into the database.
- Special schemes :
If the user has a special discount code, when he enters it, only the participating locations will be displayed in his locations. Several types of promotional schemes can be set like weekend, weekday, weekly rental rates. Additional promotional concessions are applied as per selection. The application handles all the complex variables involved in rate calculations with precision and efficiency.
A special scheme is offered in which the users can bid for a fare of their choice. If the bid price is equal to or greater that a price set in the database, the user will be able to rent the car on the rate he bid for. Once a bid has been accepted it cannot be retraced and no modifications in the vehicle can be made.
The application is made available in several language options. The coding and database have been optimized to maximize performance of this coldfusion application in multi-user environment.
