Learn How We Lifted a Melbourne-based Airline & Tour Operator into the Digital Age


The client, a prominent Airline and Tour Operator based in Melbourne, was heavily reliant on manual processes spanning from customer acquisition to invoicing. This outdated approach resulted in a multitude of challenges:

Operational Inefficiency

Each booking involved multiple manual steps, slowing down the entire process and causing potential errors.

Lack of Visibility

Stakeholders had limited real-time insights into sales, customer interactions, and overall business performance.

Customer Dissatisfaction

The convoluted booking and communication process led to increased customer frustrations and complaints.

Revenue Leakage

Due to inefficiencies and errors, the client was missing out on potential revenue streams, while also incurring higher operational costs.

Competitive Disadvantage

In an industry that is increasingly adopting digital solutions for customer convenience and operational efficiency, the client was falling behind, risking market share.

SOLUTION

We designed a custom technology suite that encapsulated every touchpoint of the customer journey. The suite included an engaging website, SEO strategies, and a VoIP PBX call centre integrated with WhatsApp and Facebook Messenger. All of these were hosted on a cloud-based infrastructure, ensuring not only top-notch security but also high availability, seamless scalability, and robust data backup and recovery features

ITERATIVE APPROACH

Why We Chose an Iterative Approach for This Project

In the dynamic and competitive world of airline and tour operations, our Iterative Approach offered the best pathway to success for our Melbourne-based client. Here’s why:

  • Aim for Early Wins: We focused initially on quick wins to provide immediate value and build confidence among stakeholders. These early successes were instrumental in shaping the project's direction and provided us with vital feedback for fine-tuning the solution.
  • Minimise Risks: After establishing early wins, we turned our attention to addressing the client's most pressing issues. This strategy allowed us to mitigate potential obstacles early on, contributing to a smoother project rollout.
  • Stay Agile: The fast-paced nature of the client's business required a flexible approach. Our step-by-step methodology enabled us to adapt to their changing needs in real-time.
  • Continual Upgrades: The feedback gathered from initial successes enabled us to make ongoing adjustments, ensuring the solution continued to evolve in line with the client’s requirements.
  • Smart Spending: Demonstrating early results empowered the client to make data-driven decisions about future investments, optimising cost-efficiency.

Opting for an Iterative Approach was not just about solving today's challenges; it was about building a resilient solution that could adapt and grow with our client’s ever-changing business landscape.
