Data and Analytics for Travel, Transportation & Logistics

The travel, transportation, logistics and hospitality industries are undergoing unprecedented change. Globalization, deregulation, consolidation, rapid growth of e-commerce & privatization are opening new opportunities.

As experiential spending, on recreation, travel and eating out, trends up. The ability to deliver an exemplary experience is the new competitive battleground across industries, governments, and domains, and requires a new form of intelligence called Connected Consumer Intelligence. In today’s evolving Travel & Logistics (TL) domains, operational performance and profitability is the need of the hour. Data-driven, predictive operational excellence is an important driving factor and has the hidden potential of bringing in disruptive growth.

Customer centricity, with an aim to strengthen the loyalty of today’s highly mobile, technologically savvy consumers, takes center-stage. Transformation of organizations, enhancement of global brands and addition of game-changing digital capabilities with the customer at heart will be key.

Connected Travel 4.0 (Smart Airport, Hotels, Maritime)

Next gen services like virtual assistants, customer, operations 360, smart traffic, energy management, asset health monitoring are improving customer experience, maximizing top & bottom lines.

Rail Health Informatics

This has enabled the move from reactive (scheduled, break-fix) to proactive (condition-based, preventive) maintenance - historical records combined with real-time data from field devices enhance predictability & give early warnings of asset failures.

Connected Logistics (freight, vehicles, warehouses & intelligent customs brokerage), brings together the benefit of IoT & digital technologies (AR/VR, RPA, advanced analytics, cognitive intelligence), through real-time visibility & actionable insights. Smart logistics is driving frictionless fulfillment through improvements across Transportation Planning & Execution, Fleet Administration & Optimization, Warehouse & Inventory Control and Labor/Workforce Management. Visibility software integrates all data sources into a single version of truth. Linking of external and internal systems supports operational information sharing. Network collaboration - vertical (supplier – customer), horizontal (3PL & competitors) leads to a streamlined & sustainable supply chain, facilitates planning, real-time alerts, agile decision-making. Promised delivery date, electronic tracking, arrival & delivery statuses - product traceability has enhanced supply chain efficiency, allowed customers to regain control of an erstwhile chaotic process.

Services

With the agility of a start-up & maturity of a behemoth, our TTLH service offering has delivered compelling benefits

• Data load enhanced from 450 to 2500+ flights / day through data warehouse implementation for a major Australian airline. 100+ gaps fixed, high data quality ensured (via data miss, exception capture solution.)
• Movement of trains optimized – a unique real-time railroad network-planning tool encompasses railroad capacity, train schedules, topology and conducts movement planning (MP) analytics.
• $3 million saved for a US railroad major - accurate (95%) estimation of monthly traffic avoided losses, on account of excessive payment of advance toll.
