Advantage announces new partnership with business process automation platform provider Lokulus

The Advantage Travel Partnership has announced a new collaboration with Lokulus, a provider of customer-focused business process automation solutions. Its revolutionary platform has been designed to enhance customer service by increasing efficiency/effectiveness and going beyond simple ticketing solutions to deliver the results clients need. Using established technologies and cutting-edge AI / Machine learning, TMCs can automate workflows, integrate data and provide advanced reporting across multiple systems, channels, and touchpoints.

Delivering consistently excellent customer service whilst navigating a complex travel landscape is a challenge faced by many TMCs. Lokulus’ platform will provide a solution for Advantage members who will now be able to benefit from a comprehensive suite of features to streamline operations and significantly reduce response times in comparison to traditional systems.

The platform will seamlessly integrate with members’ existing systems, including GDSs, and will efficiently manage both simple and complex enquiries to transform how TMCs interact with their customers, whilst maintaining a personalised touch. Using the platform, customer inquiries are categorised and distributed based on priority and supported by contextual information to ensure swift and accurate responses.

The integrated data capabilities of the platform will enable members to gain valuable insights into customer behaviours and preferences, enabling more personalised and effective interactions. Robust reporting tools will provide the data-driven intelligence needed for TMCs to further improve their customer service strategies.
