Priceline is a publicly traded company started in 1997. It helps people book flights, cars, and hotels. Customers can even offer their own price to get the best deal.

About The Project
Plex Bit managed the Priceline site, which works like an online store but for booking flights, cars, and hotels. Users can browse thousands of options and book right on the site. The backend is complex, handling over 10,000 listings with fast servers and content delivery networks to keep things running smoothly.
One challenge was building a system that calculates bid prices and matches the best deal for both buyers and sellers, considering different currencies in each country.
After launch, users saved up to 50% by setting their own prices on flights, hotels, and cars, making travel more affordable and flexible.
