About Client
The client is a Dubai based travel agency facilitating the customer for Airlines booking, Hotel Accommodation and Hire a Car service. The travel agency had already implemented a customized ERP to serve customer requests. SPEC INDIA assisted in implementing Business Intelligence platform to analyze the data and take data driven decisions based on it.
Challenges
