Independent TMC takes Travelport data analytics tool
Global Travel Management has entered into an agreement with Travelport to use its data analytics tool, Travelport Business Insights.
The independent travel management company will use the tool to help ‘optimise supplier contracts, enhance customer service and improve operational efficiencies’.
Travelport Business Insights uses data from traditional and non-traditional travel sources and removes the reliance on manually sourcing, organising and interpreting data.
Information is delivered via any device and in near real-time.
Scott Pawley, managing director Global Travel Management, said: "Sophisticated data analysis in travel is no longer an option, it has become a necessity. Travelport delivers a flexible tool that will enable us to analyse travel data aggregated from multiple sources, and transform it into insights that deliver a competitive edge."
Paul Broughton, Travelport’s country manager UK and Ireland, added: "Our customers often tell us the volume of data available to them is dramatically increasing but so too is the time and cost of interpreting it. Travelport Business Insights is specifically designed to help agencies manage this by forensically analysing large pools of data quickly, accurately and cost effectively.
“We are pleased Global Travel Management has recognised the value of the tool and look forward to seeing the impact it has on the company’s performance."
