In pursuit of client's focus on core business operations, client wanted to improve its travel model to manage operations at multiple regions in North America. Each operation had its unique requirements, business rules and procedures. Adding to it, client had multiple tools to manage its complex end-to-end logistics and lodge operations from demand forecasting, capacity optimization, flight scheduling, lodge planning, reservation management, departure control, lodge actuals, reporting and charge back. Client wanted a one-stop platform that incorporated industry best practices and processes to manage its travel logistics, including lodging, safely and efficiently
