Client Overview

Chimu Adventures is an Australia-based travel company offering expedition cruises and tour packages across multiple global regions.

The business needed a stable and secure platform to manage regional websites, bookings, localized pricing, and marketing operations at scale.

The Challenge

  • Unstructured codebase created deployment and security risks
  • Performance issues slowed high-traffic booking and itinerary pages
  • Server instability caused recurring downtime and operational disruptions
  • Multi-region websites increased localization and pricing management complexity
  • Legacy API integrations were difficult to maintain and optimize

Our Approach

1. Stabilise the foundation

Classic Informatics restructured the development workflow, migrated source control to Git, and improved deployment reliability to reduce operational risk.

2. Prioritise platform reliability

Continuous monitoring, Drupal updates, and proactive security checks helped maintain uptime and reduce performance inconsistencies during peak traffic periods.

3. Improve long-term maintainability

Legacy integrations and server environments were standardised to simplify future upgrades, patching, and ongoing maintenance.

4. Support business growth

SEO, analytics, and tracking improvements ensured the platform could better support regional marketing and booking operations.
