Jerald spearheaded a transformative overhaul of the continent’s premier car‑rental digital frontier, a system that previously suffered from inflexibility, lack of compatibility, and sluggish speed due to successive acquisitions. The fragmented infrastructure—multiple brand websites running on separate back‑ends—hampered marketing rollouts, feature implementation, and routine maintenance, inflating ownership costs for customers.

Designing a Unified, Modular Digital Platform

Jerald’s strategic blueprint involved consolidating 16 brand sites across six distinct names under a single, headless content management system. The architecture featured reusable component libraries, layered APIs, and responsive web templates, all structured around modular elements. This approach allowed each brand to preserve its unique identity while operating on a shared, scalable foundation, dramatically cutting ongoing maintenance expenses.

Key Implementation Highlights

• Headless CMS for flexible content delivery
• Reusable component library to accelerate feature rollouts
• Layered APIs enabling seamless data integration across brands
• Responsive web templates for consistent cross‑device experience
• Modular architecture to support independent brand evolution

Engineering & Marketing Synergies

“We crafted a platform that runs efficiently and scales as required,” Selvaraj explained. “The reusable component design empowered content teams to manage asset updates, liberating engineering efforts to focus on continuous improvement.”

Resulting Operational Gains

• Development cycles shortened by a substantial percentage
• Operational costs reduced by a significant margin
• Revenue surged within a single year
• Mobile booking traffic increased markedly
• Marketing teams gained autonomy to launch campaigns independently using prebuilt templates and automation tools
