Rioseco, a prominent provider of pet products and services, sought to enhance customer convenience by integrating its pet hotel services with its existing product store. With a vision to offer a unified platform for pet owners, Rioseco approached us to migrate their standalone pet hotel system onto their Shopify website and implement a comprehensive solution for booking pet rooms.

- Unified User Experience: Designing a cohesive user interface that seamlessly integrates pet product shopping and hotel room booking.
- Booking System: Developing a robust booking system that allows pet owners to easily reserve rooms for their dogs and cats.
