A practical software brief for Mandi

Consider a regional tour organiser planning a system for small-group itineraries. Its public interface needs to help people request a trip that fits dates and activity preferences; the internal workflow covers trip enquiry, route planning, supplier review and itinerary confirmation. Those are connected requirements, but they do not necessarily need to be delivered in the same first release.

Define the records and the decisions first

The brief should identify travel date, activity level, stop sequence and supplier status. Establish where that information comes from, who can change it and which events require approval. A shared record and a clear status history can be more useful than separate tools that each hold a partial version of the customer request.

An exception worth testing

For this example, suppose a route component becomes unavailable before departure. The proposed system should show a revised route and obtain approval before replacing the itinerary. Ask the team to demonstrate that path as well as the successful initial submission. It reveals the permissions, data changes and customer messages that a basic feature checklist can miss.

Choose the service around the business problem

A website can explain the offer and capture enquiries. A mobile app can support repeated tasks away from a desk. ERP or custom software can connect approvals and operational records. An online store, AI assistant or marketing programme has a different purpose and should be scoped against the actual workflow.

Planning delivery for Mandi, Himachal Pradesh

Bring a sample of the current records for small-group itineraries, your existing website or system access, and the people who approve changes. Curobotic is based in Guwahati, Assam; discovery and reviews can take place remotely. Any site visits, third-party integrations or operational support are agreed in the scope.

Compare proposals using ownership and handover

For the trip enquiry, route planning, supplier review and itinerary confirmation process, define what must be demonstrated before acceptance. Compare proposals on content preparation, migration, testing, source and account ownership, staff training and recurring costs. Confirm who handles backups, software updates and change requests after launch instead of assuming they are included indefinitely.
