Company Profile

Bridging the Map is an online sporting events trip planner and accommodation booking engine for do-it-yourself travellers. The site has a particular focus on non-hotel accommodation including Bed & Breakfast, Guest House, Boutique Hotel and even Home-Share establishments. The first site provided by the company is focussed on South Africa and the 2010 Football World Cup - http://www.footyworldcup.com.

The Brief

To build a next-generation travel portal that makes sporting travel the pleasure it should be. The site should take advantage of the latest in community-building technologies and provide a safe and personal experience to travellers using the service.

Our Solution

The Bridging the Map site has been built as a scalable and flexible platform that the company can use to roll out multiple sporting travel-related sites and services.

It is built on our robust multi-lingual, ecommerce and content management system - Cloudbase™, and provides easy registration using Facebook Connect. The first site (http://www.footyworldcup.com) includes a European and South African payment gateway service with a powerful, portable itinerary planner and has a keen focus on a personal travel planning experience that just works.

The Hatchery is an investor in this business along with another private consortium of investors.
