PRE THUD: Red Eye Breaks is a travel agency that focuses on Spring Break vacations. THUD being already established in this market was a natural selection for REB. THUD developed a custom reservation system, complete with booking engine, customer account management modules, payment modules that tracked payment histories, hotel modules, and even party pass and meal plan modules; a complete custom travel agency site that focused on accommodating students preparing for Spring Break. REB was a start up company when THUD first met them, meaning budget was small and the vision was grandiose.

POST THUD: THUD provided a solution to meet REB's immediate needs and at the same time, build the framework for the future. THUD built a highly attractive site and integrated another travel company's reservation engine via their API (Application Programming Interface). This saved REB thousands of dollars and allowed them to implement other features they had direct control over, such as, a Hotel Administration Module that allowed them to enter hundreds of hotels with very specific details and images. Hotels were assigned to a destination which allowed visitors to browse many hotels for any given destination. A Destination Administration Module was also created. This module allows REB to add/edit/remove destinations that they can offer. Spring Break has its core of traditional destinations such as Jamaica and Cancun, but every year there seems to be a new "hot spot" which has recently been Amsterdam and could soon be Dubai. A handful of other Administration Modules are in place such as, Airport, Bar & Restaurant, Meal Plan, Party Plan and Side Trips.
