Portfolio Card : The Adventurists

For the last 4 years we've enjoyed an excellent relationship with The Adventurists. They are the sterling chaps behind such adventures as The Mongol Rally and The Rickshaw Run. As sole technology partners we're proud to have recently signed for another 3 years of our tip-top service to keep things continuing to expand at a rapid pace. With over 10,000 pages of information, 2,200+ team websites, 60gb of files, 50,000+ lines of website-code and thousands of daily visitors we certainly need to know what we're doing.

What do they do?

The Adventurists organise and run a number of pioneering events in the adventure market. Rather than package-holiday ease, they go for the more roll-your-own adventure with plenty of potential for chaos. They also ensure loads of cash is raised for charity having already raised well over a million pounds via teams taking part! Their main way to communicate and interact with the public is via their website which must cater for the needs of thousands of adventure-goers.

Their website is capable of automating the masses of administration involved in such events from ticket selling to visa processing.

How do we help?

Buckle Consulting has for over 4 years built and refined an extremely custom web-based system which enables many parts of the Adventurists' business to run automatically cutting back on many man-hours of administration.

Key parts of the system include: Full content management for multiple adventures. Online event ticket sales. Team websites. Visa processing. SMS team tracking. Google Maps/Earth integration for plotting movements of teams around the globe. Mailing-list management.

Random fact: It took under a minute to sell out the 2009 Mongol Rally with over 400 teams taking part.

How do we do it?

We have a great relationship which we have built over the years. Regular VOIP and face-to-face meetings combined with our project management tools ensure all parties involved know what is going on at any one time.

Managing the project is one thing, delivering the goods on time and to specification is another. That's why we have highly-skilled developers and designers dedicated to this project to ensure the highest standards possible.

We are proud to have signed to deliver our service for another 3 years with all the SLA requirements you would expect in any serious business relationship.
