Business Goals
Since they were in the travel and hospitality industry, they had the following objectives which they were keen to achieve with our assistance.
- Most importantly, the client’s vision was to establish a system that could accommodate international travel data and enable updates in real-time so that utmost accurate booking could be made.
- They wished to inform and update all the members of the chain, including hotels, flights, suppliers, and guests.
Business Challenges
Delayed Updates
This was because the client had a challenge in maintaining real time update on the hotels, transfers and flights. This made it difficult for them to provide their customers with right information on time thus causing organizational hiccups in their planning and bookings of trips.
Communication Gaps
Sometimes relevant information from suppliers or agents was ignored thereby making certain updates and changes missed. Lack of proper communication in these cases led to misunderstanding and accrued time delay in the course of making the bookings.
Outdated Information
Unfortunately, due to the lack of fresh data, stakeholders were forced to use the information that was not very close to the current, which created misunderstandings and failures in bookings and travel planning.
Coordination Issues
It was difficult to manage different chains including the hotels, suppliers, agents and customers. The discontinuity of the communications made it challenging in dealing with the bookings and service delivery.
Technical Solution
-
Integrated Third-Party APIs
The Vamoos and Travelport APIs were incorporated through which the travel agents could get updated information of hotels, flights, and transfers at any given time to enable them to develop itineraries.
-
Direct Data Fetching
With the API integration, travel agents could directly get information to access the latest information for the agents to pass on to customers in a timely manner.
-
Refresh Service
We created a background Refresh service that keeps all the existing itineraries fresh with latest data gathered from APIs, without the need of further user input.
