Build a Corporate Travel Management App in Under Five Minutes

See How Aire AI App-Builder Builds a Corporate Travel Management App in Under Five Minutes

Building a fully functional application can often be a time-consuming process, taking days or even weeks to complete. However, with advancements in AI-driven development platforms like Aire, creating an app has become significantly faster and more efficient. This article explores how to create a Corporate Travel Management app in just five minutes using Aire’s intuitive AI app-builder.

Step 1: Starting with the Prompt-Builder

The first step in the app-building process is to define your prompt in the Aire app-builder. The Prompt-Builder is a tool that lets you create a concise and clear description of your app. While it offers various fields to refine your input, you can also rely on Aire to auto-generate much of the setup.

For this demonstration, we only need to fill in the two most essential fields:

• Type of Business: “Enterprise”
• Type of Activity: “Corporate Travel”

The optional fields can be left blank for simplicity, but they are available for additional customization if needed.

Step 2: Adding Modules

After the prompt, it’s time to define the core modules for the app. Modules in Aire represent the different segments or functionalities of your app. For this example, we choose a “medium scope” to establish a decent-sized data model. Aire quickly generates the following modules:

• Travel Request
• Employee Profile
• Travel Policy
• Travel Booking
• Expense Report
• Itinerary

These modules look well-suited for a Corporate Travel Management app, but if necessary, you can manually add or delete modules or ask Aire to suggest additional ones.

Step 3: Defining Fields

With modules in place, the next step is to add fields to each module. Fields represent the specific pieces of information that each module will store. Here, we choose a “large scope” to see what Aire can come up with, knowing that we can always delete unwanted fields later.

For instance, in the “Travel Request” module, Aire generates fields like:

• Origin City
• Destination City
• Departure Date
• Return Date
• Travel Purpose

Each field is created with appropriate types like text, number, dropdown, and date/time, along with customizable configurations. Again, you can review these fields and make changes as needed.

Step 4: Establishing Relationships

Now, Aire needs to map out the relationships between different modules and their fields. This step is crucial as relationships define how various parts of your app interact. Aire automatically establishes both one-to-one and one-to-many relationships based on the modules and fields defined earlier. The process takes just a minute and a half to complete.

A key advantage of Aire is that it explains the rationale behind each relationship it creates, allowing you to understand the logic behind these connections.

Step 5: Creating Visual Displays

With the data model complete, it’s time to focus on the user interface (UI) pages. Aire can automatically generate UI pages, including:

• Home Page with metrics and charts
• Dashboard Page
• Record List Page for each module
• Record Page for each module

Given the number of modules, creating these pages manually would be labor-intensive, but Aire accomplishes this task in about fifteen seconds.

Step 6: Previewing and Editing the App in Corteza

Once the app is built, it’s time to see it in action. Aire allows you to deploy and preview the app in Corteza, a platform that serves as the app’s live environment. It takes just three minutes to generate the app preview, where you can inspect all the record lists, pages, charts, and metrics.

Corteza offers additional customization options, such as adding calendars, maps, progress bars, and tabs. It also allows for workflow integration and connection with third-party data sources, enabling even more complex app functionalities.

Step 7: Finalizing and Deploying the App

If you’re satisfied with the app’s layout and data structure, you can deploy the final version with a single click. Alternatively, you can return to Aire’s Builder mode to explore more advanced suggestions for modules, fields, and relationships.

Conclusion

In just five minutes, Aire has created a comprehensive Corporate Travel Management app that would typically take days or even weeks to build manually. The app includes all essential modules, fields, and UI pages, along with properly mapped relationships. Aire’s automated app-building capabilities not only save time but also simplify the entire development process, allowing anyone to create functional, professional-grade applications with minimal effort.

By leveraging AI-driven platforms like Aire, businesses can streamline their app development processes, reduce costs, and focus more on innovation and growth.
