What is software product discovery?
The software product discovery process involves identifying, understanding, and validating the needs and requirements of potential users and exploring market opportunities. We conduct in-depth research, gather feedback, and test ideas to ensure the products we create align with your customers’ needs, market demand, and your business goals.
Product discovery helps to minimize development risks, optimize resource allocation, and create a comprehensive roadmap that leads to successful and user-friendly software.

Our established product discovery process
Workshops
Our experts conduct collaborative workshops with key stakeholders from your travel company. We help you to develop your business idea and project scope, and then prioritize key features for your product. These discussions provide a clear understanding of your project’s direction.
Market research and user interviews
We explore trends, emerging technologies, and unmet needs within the industry to help inform your project's direction. Industry reports, customer feedback, user insights, and latest news reveal travelers’ pain points and uncover untapped business opportunities.
Competitors analysis
We analyze the solutions offered by your competitors to identify their strengths, weaknesses, and opportunities for differentiation. Our team examines the features of each product to identify areas for innovation and improvement and see how you can position yourself to stand out.
User personas
We create user personas to represent different segments of the market based on shared motivations, behaviors, and preferences. We then turn this user research into archetypes — fictional characters that help us design for specific user needs.
Traveler journey mapping from inspiration to post-trip
We map out the end-to-end user journey, including the various touchpoints at which your product can elevate the travel experience. We visualize travelers' interactions with different features to spot the pain points and find opportunities for improvement within your existing software solutions.
Wireframing and prototyping
Our designers create wireframes that connect to a clickable prototype of your solution. These visual representations help to demonstrate the product’s features, functionality, and user interface. This iterative process enables teams to get a clear project vision and refine the user experience.
High-fidelity UI/UX designs
We create detailed designs that showcase your product in full. We design various screen states and conditions, prepare UI kits, and specify components to simplify the work for development teams.
Usability testing
We conduct usability tests with potential customers to collect user feedback. We look at how convenient and effective the software's design and features are to use, and how real users interact with it. These user stories help us identify usability issues and refine the product before development.
Technical analysis
We assess the technical feasibility of specific features and integrations, considering data sources, APIs, and system architecture. Our software product discovery team evaluates the compatibility of proposed features with existing infrastructure and other technical aspects to optimize the build time.
Development roadmap
Roadmap creation sets out your project's goals, milestones, development team composition, and development timeline estimates. Not only can you use the project roadmap to engage stakeholders, it serves as a guide for the development phase, ensuring transparency and focus.
