Haya Travel is a travel agency based in Almansa, Spain. It
has 10 branches and it invoices 7,500,000 euros a year. The company had a static
Web and communicated by phone with the branches and suppliers, but it needed to
develop a Web site that would let it communicate in real time with them and with
their customers.
SSI Albacete, a GeneXus distributor in Spain, developed a
Web solution for Haya Travel using the GeneXus Yi version, currently undergoing
the betatest process.
Juan Pedro Iriarte, product head of SSI Albacete attests
to the GeneXus advancement in this Yi version: "The environment really seems to
me a lot more productive. The integration with Patterns is seamless, but what
really made me decide to use GeneXus Yi for this Web site's development were the
Master Styles and the possibility of handling languages. I haven't tried the
Business Components in depth, but in concept I think they are the right
ones."
The solution developed for Haya Travel was generated for
the .NET platform and is composed of two interrelated parts. The public one is
accessed by customers and it's where the offers, news, etc. are published. Its
structure was created with Web Components and it is currently being migrated to
Master Styles.
The other part of the solution has restricted access and
four modules: system administrator, management, supervisors and counter. This
private Web was developed with the GXopen components (User Management; Theme
Server; Forums; FAQs; Mail Management) and using GXpatterns.
Concerning the new features of GeneXus Yi version, Iriarte
emphasizes the easy creation of new projects, the visual helps in the code and
the totally transparent Web Components management. Adding all that to GXpatterns
we are giving a giant step towards migrating all our applications to Web. I
think we will have very few excuses left after GeneXus Yi is launched, stated
Iriarte.
