With the help of quality training and support, Travelbag has seen a 5% uplift in web enquiry booking conversions and improved customer service levels.
INTRODUCING TRAVELBAG

BUSINESS GAPS
The challenge
Travelbag recognised they had gaps within their business around managing customer relationships, enquiry and booking task management, custom reporting, tracking sales performance and identifying marketing opportunities, which was impacting their ability to offer the deep level of customer service their customers expect.
TRAVEL CRM
Our solution
With a desire to understand their customers better, accurately track performance and unify their processes, Travelbag researched and reviewed potential options. Inspiretec CRM stood out as the missing piece to their puzzle and could integrate seamlessly with their existing Inspiretec Reservations booking platform.
BUSINESS IMPACT
The results
Sonia Walsh, Digital Product Manager at Travelbag, talks through her experience working with Inspiretec CRM and the impact it’s had on the business since integration:
Instantly access customer information and prioritise enquiries
The Screen-Pop functionality allows us to immediately have customer information to hand, our sales staff can instantly see the full history of a customer. This not only helps to build rapport but also provides a better understanding of a customer’s needs and helps flag ‘hot leads’ so they can prioritise repeat bookers.
Enhanced lead management and sales efficiency
Unifying our data, specifically leads and sales, has helped us to understand where our leads and sales are coming from, and how to become more efficient within the lead-handling process.
The visibility Inspiretec CRM provides means we can also monitor the different types of leads we’re getting and track our ‘enquiry to quote to booking’ conversion ratios.
Being now able to filter and bulk assign enquiries fields allows us to manage our enquiries more efficiently, while the flexibility to add enquiry data into specific enquiry fields means that we can create insightful and dynamic reporting.
Automatically creating bookings tasks for things like balance reminders, welcome home calls, admin hold reminders etc. is a particularly useful feature for sales. Task management is also used for operational processes such as airline schedule changes and Booking QC checks.
Maximising the potential through quality support and ongoing training
The quality of the support and training we received from day one ensured we were using the platform to its full potential.
Regular catch-ups and reviews mean we are aware of updates and can be aligned on any upcoming features that will bring the most value to our business in the future.
