OVERVIEW

TTAND Bridges the gap between travel agents and suppliers by simplifying travel arrangements and operations

PROBLEM STATEMENT

How might we simplify the travel arrangement operations benefiting both supplier and agent?

BREAKING DOWN THE PROBLEM

User Pain Points:

AGENTS

  • They work with many suppliers and every supplier has their own working system : takes effort to manage them all & quotes get delayed and miscommunicated.

  • They rely on spreadsheets, emails and standalone tools.

  • They have too much to look after: Client Information, Booking Details, Financial Details, Email Campaigns, Cancellations etc

  • Without real time updates from the suppliers regarding the prices, it is difficult to update clients and hence lose their trust.

  • Small Agencies have difficult scaling their operations.

User Pain Points:

SUPPLIERS

  • Struggle to connect with diverse network of agents : Marketing effort scattered & not reaching the correct target audience.

  • Inefficient Communication (Just like Agents) : No Real time Updates, Mis-communications, Delays and Loss of Clients.

  • Difficulty in managing invoices, payments, cancellations etc.

HOW IS TTAND HELPING?

  • TTAND provided a centralised platform to the agents called the HUB to address all pain points.

  • Upon onboarding Agents get access to HUB , where they can manage all their information :

    • Client Information and adding New Clients

    • Bookings and Itineraries

    • Financial Information

    • Supplier Information

    • Email Campaigns

    • Calendars and Events

    • Programs Offered by TTAND

    • Agent Website Settings

PROBLEM WITH EXISTING DESIGN

  • Current website was information put together with outdated design.

  • Agents spent a lot of time navigating through the cluttered interface

  • Lack of intuitive design led to confusion and frustation.

  • Support tickets where piling up increasing the work load of support team.

  • More mistakes by agent meant increase in time to complete a given task

  • Training New Agents while onboarding became a challenge

APPROACH

  • Use a Design System to maintain consistency and provide the visual a modern look and feel.

  • Eliminate Unnecessary Information which has been there since the beginning of the Company.
