After the delivery in production of a first phase, it is now moving towards new important milestones and challenges. Surely, an arduous endeavor is providing access, through any digital device (responsive web app, mobile native app, chat-bot, etc.), to the most advanced booking system while ensuring the best possible user experience.

Major responsibilities
