Headquartered in Monaco, we operate globally with an experienced core team. We established ourselves in 2008, in response to growing demand for a company with a simplified approach and a less cumbersome corporate methodology; strong personal relationships are, therefore, at the heart of our daily business. ### What SuperYachtsMonaco Needed Like most aspects of yacht life, living on board is impressive. Yacht trips are all-inclusive solutions, combining voyages and sightseeing trips with many pleasant experiences. We were lucky to assist our client, who is involved in all aspects of yacht ownership, with project support and other essential features of their work. The main goal of this project was to make the platform more useful and secure for clients and employees. ## Project Goals Our developers took over an older project, securing and simplifying the system, optimizing image handling, and setting up HTTPS. We created basic documentation for onboarding, then focused on adding new features and improvements while enhancing the system. Buy a yacht We streamlined the process by incorporating advanced search filters and detailed listings, enhancing the user experience and ensuring seamless navigation. Sell your yacht We added tools for easy uploading of yacht details and images, and optimized the process to attract potential buyers while maintaining high security standards. Charter a yacht We focused on user experience by incorporating a straightforward booking system, detailed yacht descriptions, and availability calendars, thus ensuring a hassle-free chartering process. Manage your charter yacht This feature includes tools for scheduling, tracking bookings, and managing payments, thereby ensuring smooth operations and better control. Build a yacht We developed a step-by-step interface where users can select designs, materials, and specifications, providing an interactive and engaging experience for those looking to create their dream yacht. ## Our Solutions ### Our specialists worked with the SYM website and CMS System Based on the customer requirements, we implemented new features and solved existing UI problems. On the CMS side, we added optimization and limitations for content writers to provide better performance on the leading site and make it more secure. ## Let’s have a talk Get a first consultation on your project [Contact us](https://bluepes.com/contact) ## Projects We have completed an array of projects, each of them unique from the perspective of business logic and generally common in terms of technologies, and vice versa. Basically, there’s no possibility (and we mean no, zero, null, non c'è) chances that we’ll start a new project out of blue (pun intended). - [Software Product Development for MasMovil Group](https://bluepes.com/projects/masmovil) [See all](https://bluepes.com/projects) ## FAQ ### What types of e-commerce platforms can Bluepes develop?
