Case Study: Miami Beach VCA boosts tourism and visitor satisfaction with Solodev's API platform

Miami Beach Increases Tourism and Visitor Satisfaction through Accessible Technology

Miami Beach VCA (Miami Beach Visitor and Convention Authority) needed a mobile-first, easily updatable way to showcase the city’s attractions, businesses and real-time GIS-based data to residents, visitors and third‑party app developers. To put app building power in developers’ hands and give business owners a simple front-end update tool, Miami Beach VCA partnered with Solodev to create a secure, future‑proof API and web platform.

Solodev delivered a headless API and Solodev CMS-backed portal with secure key access, an administrative back end and a front-end business owner interface, enabling rapid data updates and easy developer integration. The MBI app built on Solodev now serves as a comprehensive 411 resource with over 7,000 listings, was featured at the University of Miami hackathon, and helped Miami Beach VCA win Travel Weekly’s Gold Magellan Award in 2014 — demonstrating measurable increases in accessibility, developer engagement and visitor satisfaction.
