About the client

Traveling Baby Company started in 2004 from Southern California’s secondhand baby gear stores. Rafi now rents cribs, car seats, strollers, and high chairs to travelers across 80-90 US cities through affiliates. The platform also licenses cloud SaaS to other rental operators, including mobility scooter businesses.

Behind the scenes

No existing software handled travel+rental fusion requirements like itineraries, hotel deliveries, and Airbnb pickups. Previous developers hit conceptualization limits. This capped growth at local LA deliveries despite 22 years in business.

“A management system that could cover the nuances of both [travel and rental] platforms was critical, but that didn’t exist.”

Why the client chose us

As Rafi’s 4th developer after 22 years, Comerix broke through previous teams’ experience plateaus. The team perfectly conceptualized and executed Rafi’s vision with limitless capability. No request proved impossible.

“When I went with Paul and his team, that ceiling was limitless. I really felt there was nothing that couldn’t be done.”

Work process & solution

Comerix delivered bespoke software evolving from LA deliveries to a nationwide B2B marketplace plus cloud SaaS. The platform automates itinerary management and affiliate brokering. Affordable non-tiered licensing ties success to client growth.

Results

Revenue doubled in two years with the busiest December ever. Transitioned from personal deliveries to a nationwide scale serving 80+ affiliates. Cloud SaaS launched 14-15 sites with steady growth.

“Growth over the last two years — we’ve been able to double it… December was our busiest month ever.”

Plans for future

Traveling Baby expands cloud SaaS with marketing/SEO packages for affiliates. Admin automation continues alongside Ecwid-style embeddable iframes. Seven-year Comerix partnership drives niche dominance.

“Further optimization — automating admin work… finding good SEO… hopefully many more years of working together.”
