Challenge

The primary challenge was to gain a significant market share in the online directory services space in Sri Lanka which is monopolized by a dominant competitor. The client required a technology partner to enable 444 to compete by modernizing its digital platform & by offering customers engaging mobile features. 444’s quest for dominance in the directory services front required LAYOUTindex to produce a game-changing solution in an aggressive time frame.

  • The client lacked a cohesive digital platform that integrates different event management systems.
  • 444 lacked an interactive platform to effectively engage with mobile users.
  • 444 did not have a powerful web presence with cutting-edge online marketing techniques to reach desktop users.
  • The company lacked means of effectively managing & reporting multiple bookings & reservations made for different services.
  • 444 lacked a technical platform to manage large-scale international events.
  • The company lacked insight across all revenue channels & market segments.
