(Graduation) internship software engineer - Recranet

Graduation internship software engineer (HBO-ICT)

Problem Statement

Recranet aims to automate and make tourism organizations successful online. Tourism organizations not only save a lot of time when using our reservation software; combined with our expertise in web development and online marketing, we ensure that they are more visible online, reach more guests, and receive more reservations.

Within Recranet Booking, we have developed tools that visualize the organization's performance in dashboards. We want to expand these tools to gain even better insights into the performance of organizations. In addition, we want to expand Recranet Booking with tools that can provide insight into what the organization can expect (forecasts).

We want to give our customers the opportunity to better respond to the current situation and future trends. One possibility is to offer extensive dashboards with forecasts of, for example, revenue, number of reservations, occupancy rate, trends based on geography, age, gender, and the like. We could also provide tools and insights that allow organizations to increase their occupancy and/or revenue during quiet periods. Gathered insights and data could potentially be exported to external marketing tools, enabling our online marketers to implement more targeted marketing and generate better reports for customers.

Assignment

The assignment first involves mapping out the wishes of customers (organizations) to get a good picture of what they need to perform better. In doing so, you research existing theories and/or models. Based on the insights mapped out, a proof-of-concept dashboard can then be developed to give different types of organizations better insight into their performance and opportunities for the future.

The assignment allows for the input of your own ideas. We assume that you will work with us for at least 1 day within the tasks at our company that you would do as a developer, so we can prepare you for a possible employment.

We work with modern tools and best practices

Composer: dependency manager for PHP.
DBeaver: cross-platform database client.
NPM: dependency manager for JS.
Gulp: automating build tasks.
Git: version control.
Vagrant (Homestead): development environment.
Sentry: error reporting.

The Recranet Booking application actively uses the JavaScript framework AngularJS, and increasingly the newer TypeScript framework Angular. We follow an API first strategy where the JS client-side application exchanges data with the Symfony PHP back-end via a REST API. This makes the application clear and easy to manage. The application is deployed on the server with Git, and Sentry is actively used for error reporting in production.
