Matthew Pacella is a lawyer and enthusiastic traveller that grew frustrated with outdated trip planning methods. Switching between multiple apps like Google Sheets plans felt cumbersome and out of touch with modern technology.
Matthew went on a journey of research, determined to find a solution. Surely there was a way to organise travel plans, without the need to flip between multiple third party apps like Google sheets? In the world of app startups, sometimes the best ideas stem from the simplest of problems.
Vaiva found its home at Appetiser and we agreed on its strengths and potential. Matthew was a vital part of the team, highly involved and respectful when we raise challenges, always open to discussion. Through this strong collaboration, the project progressed seamlessly. It even evolved to include ‘stand apart’ features like social sharing and experience discovery and community engagement.
The travel industry presented the perfect landscape for Vaiva’s debut.
Leveraging Appetiser’s expertise and innovative services like the Appetiser Baseplate™, Vaiva swiftly navigated through development, culminating in its launch on the Apple App Store within 4 months.
Vaiva gained early traction in the market with consistent 5-star reviews and its establishment within the travel and itinerary niche. The startup is poised to revolutionise the travel industry for the better, now dedicated to maintaining its partnership with Appetiser for post-launch support, stabilisation, and exciting app enhancements.
