Founded with the Park Hotel in 1952, Beachcomber Resorts & Hotels has firmly positioned itself as a leader in luxury hospitality. Through prestigious destinations like the Royal Palm Beachcomber Luxury, Beachcomber offers unique experiences, enriched by a diversity of activities such as scuba diving and wellness getaways.
Our mission
Our mission was to modernize Beachcomber's image and strengthen its credibility with visitors. By improving the user experience and optimizing the site's functionality, we helped Beachcomber consolidate its position in the hotel industry.
Through close collaboration and an in-depth understanding of Beachcomber's specific needs, Esokia developed a tailor-made solution. This approach not only optimized the site's operational efficiency, but also fostered stronger user engagement, contributing to Beachcomber's ongoing success.
The project team
The Esokia team dedicated to the Beachcomber project is large and diverse. Many people contributed to the success of this project, each bringing their own specific expertise:
- Digital Project Manager: Responsible for project management, from concept definition in collaboration with internal stakeholders and the customer, through to project closure. This includes monitoring the project, liaising with the customer and ensuring that everything goes according to plan.
- DEV Lead: acts as a link between the engineering team and the management team. He/she guides the technical part of the project in terms of functionality and provides advice to the rest of the team.
- Developers (DEV): Responsible for implementing and developing the project through its various phases.
- QA Tester: Responsible for testing the implementation of the project to ensure that there are no bugs, malfunctions or anomalies before final deployment of the site.
Beachcomber project key stages of development
Here are the key stages in the Beachcomber project:
- Definition of objectives: We clarified Beachcomber's requirements in order to align the project objectives with their specific expectations.
- Detailed planning: We drew up meticulously detailed action plans and mobilized the necessary resources to ensure effective project execution.
- Regular monitoring: We continuously monitored the project's progress, assessed the results against the defined objectives, and made any necessary adjustments to ensure the project's success.
- Effective communication: We maintained fluid communication between all team members, ensuring optimal collaboration throughout the project.
- Risk management: We identified and assessed potential risks at every stage of the project, implementing strategies to minimize their impact on the final results.
These steps enabled us to structure and successfully complete the Beachcomber project, ensuring rigorous management and constant adaptation to our customer's evolving needs.
What technologies were used for this project?
For the Beachcomber project, Esokia opted for a robust technical architecture based on two key technologies:
- Drupal for the backend: Drupal was chosen for its extensive content management capabilities and flexibility in customizing backend functionalities. This platform created a solid foundation for efficiently managing Beachcomber's critical content and data.
- React JS for the frontend: To meet the high demands in terms of user interactivity and responsiveness, Esokia implemented React JS. This modern JavaScript library was used to develop a dynamic and intuitive user interface, offering an enhanced user experience on desktop and mobile.
The Beachcomber website project, managed by our team of digital experts, reflects our expertise in digital transformation in the luxury hotel industry. We undertook a complete redesign of the Beachcomber website, inaugurating a fruitful collaboration that continues today with Third-Party Application Management (TMA).
"As project manager, I can say that Beachcomber has been and remains an extremely challenging project. It required a great deal of determination and attention to detail to deliver quality work. The relationship with the Beachcomber customer was excellent, taking into account every detail to ensure total customer satisfaction."
