Bourne Leisure bridged complexity across 30+ brands with scalable, low-code tools from Zoho Creator

Summary

Bourne Leisure Holdings, Ltd., one of the UK’s largest privately owned tourism companies and the parent of Haven Holidays, Butlins, and Warner Leisure Hotels, turned to Zoho Creator to accelerate app development and make smarter software procurement decisions.

Using Creator’s drag-and-drop simplicity and Deluge scripting power, Bourne’s digital team built and deployed production-ready apps in days and used low-code prototypes to test ideas, engage stakeholders, and refine requirements before investing in full-scale solutions.

Key Highlights

  • Rapid prototyping: Built interactive software mock-ups in as little as two hours, enabling agile, evidence-based procurement discussions.

  • Operational agility: Deployed a custom compliance and safety app in just 9 days, avoiding the need to hire 70 additional staff during site re-openings.

  • Sustained innovation: Developed and maintained 30+ apps, including long-term solutions like a restaurant booking system still in use 5+ years later.
