Nezasa was established in 2012 in Zurich by a group of avid travelers with strong IT skills. Their innovative idea was to simplify travel by developing technology that would remove the limitations of traditional travel. They aimed to create a tool that makes travel experiences more appealing, flexible, and convenient.
The company initially sold travel packages directly to travelers and became a business-to-business (B2B) company in 2014. Since then, Nezasa has provided the travel industry with outstanding itinerary-generating technology from a robust partner network that offers excellent products.
Nezasa’s Tripbuilder empowers travel brands to sell end-to-end itineraries to travelers in a digital, interactive, and hyper-personalized way.
As a traveler, you can think of a website where you can define your trip route and select the transportation (flights, rental cars, shuttle, and ferry), accommodations, and activities in the same UI, all bookable at once.
As a travel operator, you can create personalized travel packages ready to be distributed to travel agencies or partners.
My Role
As a Senior Product Manager, I was responsible for a team of 8 software engineers with the challenge of maintaining and enhancing the user-facing aspects of Tripbuilder, namely:
- The travel planner UI, where travel agencies or end users will plan and book the trips.
- The back-office UI (or cockpit) where travel operators will create personalized packages.
The position involved a deep collaboration with the UX Design team and a close relationship with Nezasa’s main clients, in order to understand their specific needs and translate those into a tangible roadmap.
Internal and external stakeholder management and project management skills were also a considerable part of the job since Nezasa has acquired an impressive portfolio of customers like Explorer Fernereisen, STC and TUI.
