About Boost Portugal

Boost Portugal is a company that combines innovative tourist entertainment projects, alternative means of transport and technology. Since 2008 it has built several successful brands, boosting tourism in Portugal, Spain and the USA — starting with the GoCar brand, Lisbon's well-known yellow convertible tricycles, and later expanding to segways, electric bicycles, scooters, buggies, interactive technology, electric tuk tuks and live escape games.

The company currently operates in Lisbon, Porto, the Douro and Madrid, with technology also used in Barcelona, San Francisco, Miami and San Diego, managing 12 tourism animation brands and reaching over 600,000 people a year worldwide.

IT services rendered

Given the international scale and multi-brand nature of Boost Portugal's operation, IT support needs to cover everything from direct user support to the critical communications and online presence infrastructure:

• Permanent IT support for users;
• Implementation of backup solutions;
• Support and maintenance of IP-PBX (VoIP) telephone systems;
• Internet access redundancy with failover and link aggregation;
• Installation and configuration of computer networks and wireless networks;
• Web hosting and domain registration services;
• Remote monitoring, alarm management and availability reporting;
• Management of remote desktop services and VPNs.

Why internet redundancy matters in a multi-brand operation

A company with 12 active brands across various cities depends on online reservations, customer communication and management systems that cannot stop. A fail-over solution with link aggregation ensures that if one internet connection fails, the operation continues via a secondary connection, without perceptible interruption.

Combined with regular backups and managed hosting of the company's websites, this model significantly reduces the risk of losing bookings or downtime of the digital platforms that support the business.

Benefits for the customer

• Continuous internet access even in the event of a connection failure;
• Internal and client communications supported by a managed IP-PBX switchboard;
• Sites and domains centrally managed by a single partner;
• Permanent remote support, suitable for an operation with a presence in multiple cities.

We thank Boost Portugal for choosing DataRoad's specialist IT services.
