Client

Hayyak is a hospitality-tech startup that emerged to fill the growing demand for flexible, short-stay bookings in Saudi Arabia. Focused on urban professionals, tourists, and digital nomads, the platform empowers users to book affordable, high-quality nano-hotel accommodation within minutes. With its emphasis on local travel convenience and tech-driven solutions, Hayyak is positioned as a key player in the evolving regional hospitality landscape.

Project Goals

  • Build a seamless, mobile-first hotel booking system that could deliver a premium user experience on Android and iOS platforms.
  • Integrate with multiple third-party providers including hotel management systems, payment gateways, and ID verification services.
  • Create a robust backend infrastructure capable of handling thousands of concurrent bookings and real-time updates.
  • Ensure data privacy and transaction security, meeting regulatory compliance for hospitality services in Saudi Arabia.
  • Design an intuitive admin dashboard for property managers to update listings, manage bookings, and access analytics.

Solution

BroadVisions developed an end-to-end platform tailored to Hayyak’s specific operational needs. The backend was architected using Node.js and Python, providing a scalable and high-performance foundation. MongoDB was chosen for its flexibility and ability to handle dynamic data structures, while Flutter was used to build a fast and responsive mobile application for iOS and Android. Secure APIs were developed to support real-time interactions with third-party services, including room availability, payment processing, and identity verification. A React-based web admin dashboard allowed Hayyak’s team to manage the platform efficiently.

Additionally, we implemented multi-language support, offline caching, push notifications, and analytics dashboards to improve usability and insights across the platform.

Design

The platform was designed with the user journey in mind—from discovery to confirmation. Using Flutter, we created an elegant mobile UI that is lightweight, fast, and responsive. Our design approach focused on delivering intuitive UX features such as one-tap booking, location-based search, smart filtering, and in-app customer support chat. On the admin side, the React-based interface featured real-time updates, booking calendar views, and a performance analytics dashboard, enabling the Hayyak team to monitor operations effectively and make informed decisions.

We maintained visual consistency through brand-aligned color palettes, iconography, and modern typography, ensuring a premium digital identity.

Development

Development was broken into clear phases, beginning with prototyping and API architecture, then advancing to front-end development, integrations, and testing. Key highlights of the stack included:
  • Node.js + Python for backend scalability and data processing.
  • Java for deeper integrations with enterprise hotel systems.
  • MongoDB for managing listings, user data, and real-time availability.
  • React for building the admin dashboard with dynamic filtering and controls.
  • Flutter to support rapid development and performance on both Android and iOS.
Our agile process enabled quick iterations, extensive QA testing, and optimization for performance, including caching and lazy-loading techniques to minimize latency.

Result

The launch of Hayyak resulted in a user-friendly and scalable hotel booking solution with:
  • Over 3x faster booking completion rates compared to legacy systems.
  • Seamless onboarding of over 100 hotel properties within the first 3 months.
  • 99.98% uptime achieved through auto-scaling backend infrastructure.
  • Positive user feedback highlights ease of use, speed, and trust in the platform.
The client reported a significant reduction in operational overhead and increased user retention through app-based loyalty programs and automated communications
