The challenge
Boatflex needed a consistent booking experience on desktop and mobile for renters searching for boats in many destinations, while owners needed to manage listings and communicate with renters.
Marketing content such as destination guides had to be editable by the Boatflex team without developer involvement.
The solution
We delivered a web portal built on Umbraco CMS and .NET for search, destination content and bookings, so the content team can manage pages independently.
In parallel, React Native apps for iOS and Android share business logic and provide vessel search, reservations, trip management and owner chat on mobile.
Key features
- Vessel search and filtering
- Destination guides managed in CMS
- Reservation and trip management
- Geolocation
- Renter–owner chat
- Push notifications
- Payment gateway integration

Outcome
The platform is live on the web, the Apple App Store and Google Play.
Renters can search, book and manage trips from any device, and the Boatflex team manages site content directly in the CMS.
