A comprehensive case study showcasing how 2Factor's advanced communication and verification solutions transformed customer experience and operational efficiency at India's largest online travel platform.
India's largest online travel platform processing over 250,000 bookings monthly, serving 2+ million travelers across domestic and international destinations.
Our client is India's leading online travel platform, specializing in flight bookings, hotel reservations, holiday packages, and travel services. Founded in 2015, the platform has revolutionized how Indians plan and book their travel experiences through innovative technology and competitive pricing.
As the platform expanded to serve millions of travelers across India and internationally, they faced significant challenges with booking confirmations, customer communication during travel disruptions, and maintaining customer trust in an increasingly competitive market.
The platform needed a comprehensive communication strategy that would reduce booking cancellations due to missed confirmations, improve real-time travel updates, enhance customer support efficiency, and provide seamless communication across the entire travel journey.
The platform was experiencing high booking cancellation rates and poor customer communication that threatened growth and customer loyalty.
The platform experienced 35% booking cancellation rates due to missed confirmations and unclear communication, leading to revenue loss of ₹18 crores annually.
Only 40% of customers received timely flight delays, gate changes, and hotel booking updates, causing travel disruptions and customer frustration.
20% of bookings faced verification problems and fraud attempts, resulting in operational inefficiencies and customer service escalations.
Booking confirmations took 2-6 hours to reach customers, causing anxiety and leading to duplicate bookings and cancellations.
70% of support calls were basic booking inquiries and status updates, overwhelming the support team and increasing operational costs significantly.
