Build activity finders with search and booking built in.

Case Study

Decathlon launched in 8 weeks

From concept to launch with full activity search and booking

Decathlon wanted to build an activity finder for their sports enthusiasts. Rather than spend 6 months integrating 50 different leisure providers, they used imin's Platform API to launch a unified search and booking experience in 8 weeks.
