This week has been all about making things smoother and more efficient for your travel business. I’m excited to share some key updates that will simplify how your customers interact with their bookings and give you more control over notifications. Let’s jump into what’s new!
Things don't always progress fast on the product side when you are a solo founder, but having productive meetings with current clients and prospective ones are so valuable. Think of ways to improve Itsy and take a breath in the hustle and bustle of producing new features.
As a solo founder at Itsy, I've come to appreciate the unique adventure of balancing client work with my entrepreneurial aspirations. This week, I took the time to embrace quiet moments of reflection amidst the hustle of deadlines and expectations, discovering that these pauses are essential for recharging and nurturing my vision for Itsy.
Welcome aboard the latest update from Itsy, where this week we're taking a refreshingly honest pit stop in our journey of revolutionizing travel agency tech! As your solo pilot navigating both the Itsy flight path and freelance airways, I'm excited to share a different kind of travel story - one about the real adventures of building a SaaS while keeping multiple engines running smoothly.
This week's update at Itsy brings two major improvements that are set to revolutionize travel booking: a game-changing availability calendar that offers a more elegant way to display multi-departure trips, and a performance overhaul that dramatically reduces system startup times and boosts overall responsiveness. The result? Faster, smoother, and more intuitive booking experiences that will make both travel professionals and their clients feel like they've just discovered a secret shortcut to travel planning magic.
Every journey needs its rest stops, and this week I've taken a mindful pause to refine, reflect, and chart the course ahead. While our changelog may be lighter than usual, my commitment to thoughtful product development remains unwavering.
This week at Itsy, I’ve focused on making significant strides in enhancing our travel agency software. One of the standout updates is the revamped public order overview page, designed to provide users with a more intuitive experience when managing their bookings. Alongside this, I’ve been finalizing key improvements to the back office system and tackling various bug fixes to ensure that Itsy runs smoothly and efficiently. Let’s dive into the details of these exciting developments!
Kicking off 2025 with some holiday cheer – I've launched a new availability calendar that makes booking integration a breeze using trip tags. While the eggnog flowed, I couldn't resist sprucing up our admin UI with fresh icons and tweaks. Stay tuned for the first live implementation soon!
