AMA Selections

Elevating Luxury: Transforming AMA Selections’ platform to deliver a premium user experience and year on year growth

Executive Summary

AMA Selections, a luxury vacation rental company, needed a robust platform to deliver a premium user experience and streamline their internal processes. CoreBlue partnered with AMA Selections to migrate away from WordPress, improve platform functionality, and introduce innovative features. This collaboration enhanced AMA’s operational efficiency and positioned them for future growth in the luxury rental market.

About the client

AMA Selections is a luxury vacation rental company based in the French Riviera, offering high-end rental properties for clients seeking premium holiday experiences. AMA Selections caters to clients who expect top-tier services and seamless booking experiences.

The Challenge

AMA Selections initially approached CoreBlue with a working prototype built on WordPress, but it lacked the performance and sophistication required for their high-end clientele. The system needed improvements to meet customer expectations, streamline manual processes, and incorporate complex pricing structures without compromising performance. Additionally, AMA required real-time data gathering capabilities to monitor their success and adapt marketing strategies.

The Solution

CoreBlue took a phased, iterative approach to deliver a refined platform that met AMA’s requirements:

  • Early MVP Launch: CoreBlue migrated AMA away from WordPress, focusing on essential features for an early Minimum Viable Product (MVP) that allowed AMA to generate revenue quickly. This established a solid foundation for future growth.
  • Major Phase Release: The next phase introduced significant functionality, enhancing the platform’s capabilities and aligning it with AMA’s evolving needs. This ensured incremental value addition with each release.
  • Ongoing Development: CoreBlue continues to collaborate with AMA, identifying and prioritising new features. This iterative development process ensures the platform evolves based on user feedback and strategic objectives.
  • Iterative Approach: By employing an agile methodology, CoreBlue continuously refines and improves the platform, ensuring it remains user-centric and adaptable to AMA’s business growth.
