Fareportal Mobile Apps Evolve to Single Code Solution with React Native

NEW YORK, Aug. 17, 2021 /PRNewswire/ -- Fareportal, the travel technology company powering online travel agencies CheapOair and OneTravel, has successfully migrated its CheapOair apps for iOS and Android to React Native.

With this technology consolidation, the company's commitment to a lean, efficient travel technology organization is further realized, as React Native provides a single codebase alleviating the need to code separately for iOS and Android.  It bolsters mobile engineering productivity, as a single codebase can be shared across platforms, improves speed to market, allows quicker integration with partner offerings, and delivers a greatly improved customer experience.

"We are constantly updating our Mobile Apps as new features are added. Rather than simply rewriting the CheapOair mobile apps, our mobile engineering team took a data-driven approach, closely analyzed usage, and identified engagement pattern shifts throughout the app," said Glenn Cusano, Co-CEO and CFO of Fareportal.  "The team then prioritized development to serve evolving customer needs. When the Reactive Native version was launched, we were pleased to see a double-digit conversion rate gain."

Part of an ongoing series of enhancements, Fareportal's mobile engineering team is poised to roll out new travel-related digital products to CheapOair's iOS and Android apps in its mission to provide an end-to-end, all-in-one planning & booking solution for the traveling public.
