Majority of airlines need reliable and efficient solutions to

manage detailed information on bookings and

cancellations. Their in-house solutions are underutilized

and are not geared to provide detailed strategic

information and insights other than regular reconciliation

activities. In order to stay competitive in the current market

scenario, airlines need a cost effective and reliable Billing

Information Data Tapes (BIDT) analysis tool to gain a

thorough understanding of market dynamics and develop

strategies to monitor booking profiles.

Most airlines still handle their BIDT information through in-house

tools and many a times these analyses are performed manually.

Restricted to just reconciliation of invoices, there is no detailed

intelligence gathering or reliable insights provided as such.

Enterprises are, thus, looking for a BIDT analysis tool that can not

only reconcile invoices but also provide market intelligence to help

Airlines make informed and sound business decisions on cost

reduction opportunities. The critical requirement for Airlines is to

gain key insights and explore new opportunities and sources of

cutting costs and thereby increasing profitability.

Business Need

automate the BIDT reconciliation process, thus enabling the data to

reconcile instantly.
