Requirement
Cleartrip decided to build a new marketing portal to showcase the deals and offers running in different geographies.
Challenges
- Earlier, to market their deals and offers, Cleartrip would create different HTML and listing pages. It was a huge task to create separate HTML pages or list them on another page. This posed multiple challenges for the company.
- Huge manpower needed: Creating new HTML pages for every new offer/deal needed many people to be involved. This was not an easy task to go about.
- Mismanagement of deals/offers: The existing system of managing deals through HTML and listing pages was not efficient. There was no automation. For example, deleting an expired deal from the portal was a manual exercise and hence prone to errors leading to users having a less than satisfactory experience at the website.
- Customer experience going down: Different people would create different HTML pages leading to
inconsistent customer experience. This also made it tough to find relevant deals/offers easily.
The Solution
Cleartrip wanted a marketing portal which could offer contextual information in different geographies through
The new portal runs on a content management system (CMS) that automatically generates HTML pages for the suggested deals/offers using templates already defined. Now, there are
