Website Revamp with SuperControl API Integration

To enhance their online presence, STS Holidays partnered with gloversure to develop a user-friendly website that aligns with their branding. Recognising the need for efficient property searches and seamless booking processes, we implemented a feature-rich SuperControl API integration. This integration includes exclusive features designed to boost functionality and drive direct bookings.

Advanced Search Functionality

The enhanced search option, along with an embedded map feature, allows users to view property locations relevant to their search criteria, updating instantly as search variables change. Users can refine their searches with extensive filter options, including proximity to the beach, views, enclosed gardens, open fire, private parking, and Wi-Fi. Clicking the map icon displays property details, including images, capacity, amenities, and dog-friendliness, with a button to view the property.

Custom Built Calendars

To further improve booking efficiency, a custom-built calendar was integrated, enhancing the standard SuperControl booking calendar. This custom calendar aligns with STS Holidays' branding and displays the latest prices and availability. It also allows STS Holidays to tailor customer experiences with seasonal imagery, such as autumn scenes for October bookings.
