VisitCasamance

The ground

In Casamance, a hotel keeper runs bookings from a notebook, a restaurant takes them over WhatsApp, a guide is found by word of mouth. Each of them works well, and each of them works alone. The traveller, meanwhile, has nowhere to look before setting off.

None of these operators can afford professional software on their own. Together, they can have it.

What we are building

A whole ecosystem rather than one more website. For travellers: a directory of the region’s operators, and booking for accommodation, restaurants and activities. For operators: a workspace with the tools of their trade, availability and planning for hotels, bookings for restaurants, schedules for guides, dedicated access for travel agencies.

Each piece only holds because the others exist: a directory without booking is useless, and booking without a management tool falls straight back to the notebook. That is why we are building the whole thing rather than one piece at a time.

The public site is open: the directory, search by category and by date, and the Casamance Pass are all in service. The professional workspace and the labelling console are still being built — the half of the project that matters most, and the one that takes the most groundwork.

What Edicore does here

We created the project and we are building it. The business model, the architecture, the product and the operation are ours, and will stay ours once the platform is in service.

What it shows

An ecosystem is not designed feature by feature, but from the way people actually work. That is exactly what a company AI demands: understanding first who does what, with which tools, and why things jam where they jam.
