Travel & Logistics Solutions Solutions
Fractional CTO and architecture advisory for travel and logistics technology companies. We optimise performance, modernise booking systems, and build platforms that handle peak demand - without hiring a full-time CTO.
Challenges we solve in Travel & Logistics Solutions
Performance at Scale
Travel platforms face extreme load variability - from quiet periods to holiday booking surges. Systems must handle peak demand without degradation or customers go elsewhere.
Real-time Data Integration
Coordinating live data from airlines, hotels, logistics providers, and payment gateways requires robust integration patterns that handle latency and partial failures gracefully.
Legacy System Constraints
Many travel and logistics companies rely on decades-old core systems. Modernisation must work around these constraints without disrupting critical operations.
Database Architecture Decisions
Quick wins like caching can mask deeper structural issues. Understanding when to optimise versus restructure prevents costly rewrites and ensures sustainable performance.
Multi-currency and Localisation
International travel platforms must handle multiple currencies, languages, time zones, and regional compliance requirements without introducing complexity that slows development.
User Experience Under Load
Slow page loads during booking flows directly impact conversion rates. Every second of latency costs revenue, making performance a business-critical concern.
Travel & Logistics Solutions Case Studies
See how we've helped Travel & Logistics Solutions businesses achieve their goals
SEO Pre-Launch Strategy That Outranked Competitors Before Going Live
A UK holiday marketplace needed search presence before booking features were ready. Our pre-launch SEO strategy achieved rankings above competitors' own websites within months.
Read case study →Reducing Page Load Times from 30 Seconds to 3 Seconds Through Strategic Caching
An airline logistics platform had 12-30 second page loads. Through performance investigation and strategic caching, we reduced this to 2-3 seconds while documenting a roadmap for deeper fixes.
Read case study →Strangler Pattern Migration Reduces Page Load Times by 50%
A caravan booking platform needed to modernise from .NET Framework to .NET Core. Using the strangler pattern, we migrated incrementally while keeping the business running - achieving 50% faster page loads.
Read case study →Search Performance Transformed from 20 Seconds to Under 2 Seconds
A caravan booking platform's search took 10-20 seconds to return results. Through architectural analysis and query optimisation, we reduced search times to 1-2 seconds across a dataset of 5,000 caravans.

Dramatic performance improvements through strategic caching
We've reduced page load times from 12-30 seconds down to 2-3 seconds for airline logistics platforms through targeted caching strategies. Our approach identifies the highest-impact optimisations first, delivering measurable improvements while uncovering deeper architectural considerations that inform long-term roadmaps.
Robust integration patterns for real-time data
Travel platforms depend on reliable connections to multiple external systems - booking engines, payment providers, inventory systems, and partner APIs. We design integration architectures that handle latency, partial failures, and data consistency challenges without compromising user experience.
Honest technical diagnostics and pragmatic recommendations
Not every performance problem has a simple fix. We provide candid assessments that distinguish between quick optimisations and deeper structural issues, helping you make informed decisions about where to invest development effort for maximum impact.
Architecture that handles booking surges
Holiday booking rushes can increase traffic tenfold in hours. We design systems that scale elastically, using caching, queue-based processing, and cloud infrastructure patterns that maintain performance under pressure without overprovisioning for quiet periods.
