Real constraints, measured outcomes

We are early, so this is a short list rather than a long one. Each entry states the constraint the client was under, what we shipped, and what changed — with figures we can stand behind.

AppooppanthaadiTravelBooking platformAI assistant

Self-serve booking, and an AI that isn’t allowed to guess

A women-led travel company running trips since 2016. We designed and built their platform end to end — self-serve booking for fixed-date tours, a tracked enquiry pipeline for custom packages, and Appu, an assistant that checks every figure against live data before it answers.

Appooppanthaadi homepage: a women-led group on a hillside under the headline “Your turn to go after everyone else”, with ratings and trip counts.

01Diagnose

Every trip ran through the team. An enquiry came in, someone priced it by hand, and nothing showed which enquiries had been left waiting — so the business could only grow as fast as the team could reply.

02Design

  • Self-serve booking for fixed-date tours, with seats held during checkout and released automatically if payment doesn’t complete
  • Payments and instalments through Razorpay, settled by one code path shared by checkout and every payment webhook
  • Prices and traveller details frozen at booking, so a later tour edit never changes what a customer paid
  • Cancellations with four outcomes — seat transfer, travel credit, wait for a replacement, or refund
  • Custom-package enquiries tracked against a 48-hour reply commitment, with an alert when one slips
  • 24 transactional emails, every send logged and resendable from the admin
  • A CMS the team runs themselves — tours, packages, offers, blog and FAQs — behind role-based access
Booking card for the Bhutan tour: ₹39,800 per adult, 13 seats available, the selected Dec 5–12 date, a guest counter, subtotal, Book Now and EMI options.
Appu chat: asked about women-only tours to Bhutan, it replies with the 8-day Thunder Dragon Kingdom tour at 39,800 per person — the same figures as the tour page.
The AI

Appu answers from the catalogue, and checks itself first

Appu is the assistant on every page. It answers questions about tours, dates and prices using only published data. Before a reply is shown, a second pass extracts every figure in it and checks each one against the data the answer was built from. If a number can’t be traced, the reply is replaced with a safe one instead of being sent.

  • Answers only from published tours, packages and policies
  • Every figure verified against source data before it is shown
  • Anything that needs a commitment — a price, a date — goes to a person
  • Model chosen by measurement: replies in 1–4 seconds, down from 6–9
Available tour dates: a December departure card showing 13 seats, the per-person price and an EMI badge.
Departures carry live seat counts, and a held seat returns to sale on its own if payment never completes.
Request a Quote form for a Kerala package, promising a personalised quote within 48 hours.
Custom packages still go to a person — now against a 48-hour reply commitment the system tracks.
