🚀 From Idea to Execution in 48 Hours: Seamless Travel Flow Built on Glide
When a global client needed to coordinate the arrival of 200+ people from different locations—just 48 hours before the first landings—we delivered a fully functional travel management app using Glide. The platform allowed real-time tracking of flights, automated status updates, and instant notifications via WhatsApp.
The system integrated with third-party APIs to match live flight data and booking records, ensuring a smooth flow from arrival to hotel check-in.
Thanks to Glide, we built a fast, flexible, and fully operational system in just 2 days—no code, no chaos.
 

🧩 Problem

The client was organizing a major project involving more than 200 people flying in from various cities, on different flights and schedules. They had just 48 hours before arrivals began and manual coordination would lead to chaos, missed pickups, and inefficiencies.

💡 Solution

We built a complete travel coordination platform using Glide—in just 2 days.
Key features:
Synced with flight booking portal via API to fetch all traveler and flight details.
Matched bookings to live flight data using FlightAPI for real-time status tracking.
Automatically updated views as flights landed.
Triggered automated WhatsApp messages to travelers upon arrival with next steps.
Alerted planning staff in real-time, transitioning the user’s status to “Arrived” and then to “Checked In” once hotel details were updated.
Managers could track everything live from a central dashboard on mobile or desktop.
For each flight, planners could instantly view all associated travelers and monitor real-time flight status via live radar tracking
