Customer Background :
One of the largest TMC in india who has more than 100 offices across the country wanted to centralise the operations and product contracting and allow these branches / PSA / GSA to use a single login to book hotel and other non air products including packages, sightseeing , transfers.
Key Challenges
Users were given individual access to various suppliers portal which made consolidation and control very difficult
Amount of time taken to send a quote and convert them was very high
Product team at central office was required to be involved in all the bookings
No control on pricing as this was manually done at branches
Strict Credit Control which includes credit, deposit reporting was not easily possible
Consolidation of daily bookings and understanding of cash and credit position at each branches was delayed
New suppliers could not be added as a large no of people had to be trained every time
