How SmartBoost Built Shivjanmbhumi Resort’s Online Booking Engine From Scratch

Introduction

Shivjanmbhumi Resort, located near the historic Shivneri Fort, had all the right ingredients — location, space, and guest appeal — but lacked a digital booking engine. They were heavily dependent on walk-ins and offline inquiries, leaving massive weekend and tourist traffic untapped.

SmartBoost partnered with Shivjanmbhumi Resort to build their complete online sales ecosystem — from website to OTAs to automation.
