In today’s digital era, the tech-savvy traveler’s needs and expectations are evolving constantly. While Online Travel Agencies (OTAs) offer a convenient solution for travel planning, they face growing competition in the industry. To stay ahead of the game, OTAs must find ways to improve their operational efficiency, optimize margins and offer a superior product mix to meet the changing demand of travelers.

The challenge for the client was…

Navigating high operational costs and improving the speed and quality of operations in the areas of query and complaint handling, schedule changes, and cancellations and refunds.

  • Schedule changes (minor and major)
  • Discount management
  • Complaints management
  • Amendments to bookings and travel packages
  • Refund management

We deployed key tools such as Sabre, Tarmac, CustomerOne, Salesforce and Helio to improve the overall operational efficiency for the client.

The solution enabled the OTA to achieve…
