Group Travel Videos System

Our client's request

It all starts with a simple idea that is then evolved overtime. When in 2012, Group Travel Videos approached us. They wanted to create a mobile app that provides users with the capability of capturing photos.

The idea was to reach out to Travel & Tourism companies who usually plan various tours and trips for users in form of groups. As customers go through the trip, they want to be able to make beautiful memories that should be effortlessly captured. They want to remember and share their joy with friends and family that are not part of the trip.

Afterall, the joy of recollection only serves the purpose when you go back revisiting memories through pictures and videos with the people you love.

Research

Group Travel Videos' idea is unique; especially when we realize its inception back in 2012. That was the time when web-based and mobile app solutions were on the rise. Consequently, the GTV in collaboration with Techliance were the torchbearers for creating a pioneer solution that also allowed photo-centric solutions in the marketplace.

Paving way for others to follow is a road that requires patience, persistence and consistency. There is greater include from the time a company order lands under GTV domain till the time the end-users are provided their DVD photo collateral at end of their tour.

However, Techliance partnered with GTV to ensure that the idea's viability could be built on various factors including:
