Whirlpool Jet Boat Tours is a premiere tourist attraction in Niagara-on-the-Lake, Ontario, Canada. With thousands of guests booking trips they needed an application that could handle large amounts of data and provide comprehensive financial reports. Their existing 10 year old desktop application was no longer capable of meeting their growing needs. Flatland Consulting created JetRes to fill that need.
JetRes is a very complex web application. Built using Microsoft C# and the .NET 2.0 Framework upon a Microsoft SQL Server 2005 backend, this application is capable of handling the thousands of orders that come in every day. The system leverages AJAX to provide a smooth, productive user experience to the reservation staff. Additionally, the system tracks all financial information pertaining to the incoming reservations and presents them to the staff using Microsoft SQL Server 2005: Reporting Services.
From a complexity standpoint this application represents the most difficult application Flatland has created in many years. Handling the various General Ledger accounts including partial and split GLs has been extremely challenging and rewarding.
