Client
Kaamah Collections is a Madeira Island-based property management brand committed to providing unique stays for its guests. Its goal is to facilitate the rental process by connecting owners with suitable tenants and ensuring that properties meet standards of excellence. The project was founded in 2024 by a team with extensive experience in the hotel industry and the ambition to provide an excellent tourist experience in the Madeira archipelago.
Given the uniqueness of the region, Kaamah Collections not only offers unique properties, but also creates temporary homes for extraordinary stays.
Objectives and Challenges
The Kaamah team's goal is to provide a unique experience for its users by developing an innovative web app. In addition to browsing properties, the app allows users to explore nearby tourist experiences, adapting to the needs of users and facilitating the booking that best suits their desired experience.
The Kaamah team uses the Avantio app for efficient property and reservation management. In this sense, the integration of Avantio with the web app was a key part of the project. The web app consumes information directly from Avantio, offering users an accurate and up-to-date view of the options available.
The synergy between the Avantio app and the Kaamah web app simplifies property management and enriches the user experience with detailed, real-time information. Users can now easily explore a wide range of accommodations and tourist activities, providing a comprehensive platform for informed decisions during the booking process.
The Kaamah web app has been carefully developed to cater to key users seeking a first-time tourist experience in the Madeira archipelago. Whether a travel enthusiast looking for unique properties or a property manager looking for efficiency, the website has been designed to adapt to the diverse needs of users.
The Kaamah web app style guide was developed with an approach that balances the sophisticated presentation of content with the core functionality of the web app: booking properties. This style, which emphasizes elegant simplicity and ease of use, was designed in close collaboration with the client, with their feedback and preferences incorporated into key aspects to ensure that it represents the essence of the project. The design aims to convey a sense of community and sustainability, highlighting Kaamah’s commitment to its employees, clients and users.
The integration of Avantio into the web app presented benefits and challenges that are fundamental to assessing the results of both the web app and Kaamah’s own services.
Some of the benefits were:
- Efficiency and consistency in data management, avoiding duplication of data;
- Avoiding the need to create complex systems from scratch.
Some of the challenges were:
- Training and adaptation of the team to the Avantio system;
- Technical complexity of integrating two different platforms;
- Maintenance and ongoing support that this type of integration requires.
The result of our integration of Avantio was unequivocally positive. We were able to overcome the initial obstacles and achieve a level of operability that benefits both the management team and end users. This success reflects our ability to adapt and innovate, consolidating our position in the market and reinforcing confidence in our platform.
Our team focused on showcasing properties alongside unique local experiences as a way to differentiate our product in the marketplace. Through intuitive, user-centric web design, we ensured that each property listed on the Kaamah web app is accompanied by detailed information cross-referenced with cultural, gastronomic or adventure activities and experiences available nearby. This approach not only enriches each property’s offering, but also makes it easier for users to visualize and plan their stays, integrating accommodation and entertainment.
