Problem

Discover Credit Card faced several challenges with their existing travel booking system. The platform was cumbersome and difficult for users to navigate, leading to frustration and a poor overall experience. Users were unable to easily view current and past trips, contact an agent directly, or modify their bookings. Additionally, as an international client, Discover needed the ability for users to change currency and language settings to accommodate their diverse member base.

The old system also lacked integration with corporate travel policies, making it difficult for users to ensure their bookings were compliant. Moreover, Discover required special features such as weather updates, travel guides, and an "About Us" section, none of which were adequately supported by the previous platform. These limitations hindered user satisfaction and efficiency, necessitating a more robust and user-friendly solution.

Solution

To address these challenges, Discover partnered to develop a specialized white-label travel app tailored to their specific needs. This app provided a streamlined and user-friendly interface, allowing users to easily book travel, view current and past trips, contact agents directly, and modify their bookings as needed. The app also included options for changing currency and language settings, ensuring accessibility for Discover's international member base.

The layout of the app was driven by deep insights from Discover, particularly their concerns about the lack of oversight on members' trips and the need for users to review their travel plans prior to departure. This feature ensured that trips were validated against established corporate travel policies, providing peace of mind for both users and the organization.

The app also integrated corporate travel policies seamlessly, simplifying compliance during the booking process. Additional features such as weather updates, travel guides, and an "About Us" section further enhanced the user experience.

With a clear understanding of Discover's requirements and a solid foundation in place, the development of the app progressed swiftly, leading to its successful completion. The new app consolidated these capabilities into a single, intuitive platform, significantly improving efficiency and user satisfaction, and making travel planning a seamless and enjoyable process for Discover's members.
