Case Study: Chicago Boat Company streamlines online bookings and staff operations with Devvela

Chicago Boat Company unifies boat and cycleboat bookings in one platform with Devvela

Chicago Boat Company, a provider of boat rentals and cruises, faced the challenge of managing two separate booking systems for their Electric Boat and Cycleboat services. They needed a unified reservation platform from Devvela that could handle complex availability rules for different locations and boat types while also providing robust tools for their staff to manage daily operations, reservations, and payments.

Devvela implemented a comprehensive booking platform and staff dashboard built with Next.js, React, PHP, and Symfony. The solution consolidated online bookings for private and public cruises, integrated payments and promotions, and provided operational tools for scheduling and reporting. As a result, Chicago Boat Company now operates both of its brands from a single, streamlined system, improving efficiency for staff and simplifying the online booking experience for customers.
