Improved search options and embedded map functionality

We included a map feature that allowed users to view exactly where each property was relevant to their search. Updating instantly as search variables change. Users can now define their visit through an extensive list of ‘filter’ options.

Including specifics such as a beach within 1 mile, good views, enclosed garden, open fire, private parking, wifi and so on. Guiding users to properties that fit their requirements quicker.

If you click on the map icon, it displays a small box containing a picture of the property, how many people it accommodates, beds, toilets and whether it’s dog friendly or not. As well as a button to view the property.

Increasing booking efficiency with custom-built calendars

In order to enhance booking efficiency, we added an exclusive gloversure feature, custom-built calendars. Our calendar improves the look and functionality of the standard SuperControl booking calendar. We customized the design to match STS Holidays branding. Additionally, this gives STS Holidays the opportunity to further tailor their customer’s experience. For example, if a user selected October, our calendar could display a custom autumn image collection. On the other hand, the calendar ensures customers have the most recent prices and availability.
