The Leading Online Travel Agency in Australia and New Zealand Deploys Bright Pattern for Omnichannel Digital CX

Digital-first travel company deploys Bright Pattern Contact Center software to drive sales and improve customer experience using chat, messengers, SMS, in-app messaging, and voice

South San Francisco, Calif., August 17, 2021 — Bright Pattern, a leading provider of AI-powered cloud contact center software, has been deployed by the leading online travel agency in Australia and New Zealand with business spanning both consumer markets and wholesales B2B markets. The company is using Bright Pattern’s cloud-based omnichannel contact center software to drive sales and improve customer experience over voice, chat, email, messengers, SMS, and mobile in-app channels, and implement visual IVR capabilities over these different digital channels.

Chat and other digital channels are the primary support option for the company, and the need to automate and integrate these channels was a key initiative. To reduce effort and increase speed, the company added visual IVR capabilities over all their digital channels including webchat, Facebook messenger, and the company’s mobile app. This digital-first approach quickly and efficiently handles most interactions and streamlines business processes via customer self-service.  These different digital channels allow them to handle the bulk of customer interactions including general questions, pre-booking questions, changing flights or hotels, cancellation, adding seats,  baggage, and more. Customers can use their preferred channel, whether it’s web chat, Facebook messenger, SMS, the company’s mobile app, email or voice calls when needed.

“The global travel and hospitality sector was hit hard by COVID-19 and to mitigate the impact on business and quickly recover, companies that were nimble and innovative turned to new digital and self-service options to improve sales and better service customers. This is a great example of an innovative, digital-first leader in the hospitality industry”, said Ted Hunting, SVP Marketing at Bright Pattern.  “With the surge in mobile and digital channels that has arisen since the pandemic, this company turned to Bright Pattern to make their digital vision for driving sales and helping customers a reality”.

Welcome

The vision behind everything in Futurum’s Custom Research practice is this: research should show you what is happening, what comes next, and what to do about it. It should be personal to each audience, easy for people to grasp, and structured so LLMs can reason over it accurately. And it should be fast and turnkey; you want answers now, not another project to carry for quarters.

Whether you are defining business, channel, or go-to-market strategy; evaluating vendors or justifying ROI; or commissioning research to fill an emerging market need, we have your back, with a program that answers your questions with the objectivity and credibility to drive real decisions.

To do it, we bring unmatched data to bear: Futurum research, surveys, and market projections; validated market feeds; ETR’s 15 years of insight from 10,000 technology decision-makers; G2’s buyer and user data; and what our analysts hear every day. Add leading primary collection, from AI-moderated voice interviews to surveys and analyst-led interviews, all turnkey, and every project comes out credible, nuanced, and actionable.

And we don’t just drop the results in your lap. For internal work, we provide analyst-led sessions, interactive dashboards, and a range of formats. For market-facing work, Futurum delivers turnkey activation and amplification that actually gets seen, by people and by LLMs, through our media and share of voice. This is research that moves decisions and markets.

We will meet you wherever you are, from a fast-turn brief to a multi-year program, and shape the work to your goals, timeline, and budget. The right program for your moment.

If any of this is useful, I would love to talk.
