Accelerating BonVoyaz — A Collaborative Effort in Travel Tech
How LabFox helped scale a social-first travel planning app by collaborating across development teams.
The Background
BonVoyaz set out to build a mobile-first platform tailored for modern travelers — a digital space where users could plan, share, and explore trips in a social-media-style environment. Their mission: to simplify travel planning by centralizing tools and community-driven content. By the time BonVoyaz connected with LabFox, initial development had already begun with an India-based product firm. But with ambitious timelines looming, they needed to accelerate progress. That's when LabFox stepped in.
The Partnership
LabFox partnered with BonVoyaz and the existing development firm to scale delivery without disrupting progress. The collaboration focused on clarity, speed, and technical precision.
Mobile App Developers
UI/UX Designers
Technical Architects
Project Coordinators
Key Features Delivered:
Spend Management Module
Designed and developed functionality for tracking travel expenses with an intuitive user experience.
Cross-Team Collaboration
Established effective workflows for coordinating between LabFox, BonVoyaz, and the original development team.
Microservices Architecture
Guided the transition to a microservices-based architecture to improve scalability and enable modular development.
Technical Leadership
Provided expertise in feature design and architectural decisions to ensure the platform could scale with evolving user needs.
Tackling Challenges Together
While LabFox handled much of the overhead Sarus sought to avoid, the partnership was not without its hurdles:
Dual-Team Coordination
Merging two independent product teams without a shared delivery framework required flexibility and proactive communication.
Architectural Scaling
LabFox guided BonVoyaz through the shift to a microservices-based architecture, improving scalability and modular development.
Tight Timelines
Meeting roadmap milestones required streamlined sprint cycles and clear prioritization across features.
The Result
Thanks to this well-synced collaboration, BonVoyaz's development pace accelerated significantly. What began as a short-term augmentation turned into a longer-term partnership. LabFox not only delivered essential spend management features but also helped establish engineering best practices and future-ready architectural foundations. LabFox's technical leadership ensured successful feature design, especially around spend management and modular architecture. The team navigated cross-organization collaboration and delivered multiple product milestones efficiently, while maintaining high levels of coordination and transparency across international teams, helping build a product that aligned with the client's vision.
What's Next
With Lift-Pro successfully launched, Sarus is exploring next-gen features:
Enhanced social sharing capabilities
Advanced expense analytics
Expanded integration with travel services
Mobile payment processing
The groundwork is laid for Sarus to scale into a category leader — and LabFox remains a key partner on that journey.
