Frequently Asked Questions

Clear answers to the most common questions about our travel back office outsourcing services.

What is the minimum team size I can start with?
Our models are highly flexible. You can start with a single dedicated agent or even use our shared services on an hourly basis. We tailor the solution to fit your budget and needs, from startups to large enterprises.
How do you ensure the quality of the agents you hire?
We have a multi-stage recruitment process that tests for industry knowledge (including GDS proficiency), communication skills, and problem-solving ability. All agents undergo extensive background checks and receive continuous training on our CMMI Level 5 quality frameworks.
What GDS and travel systems are you proficient in?
Our teams have expert-level proficiency in all major Global Distribution Systems (GDS) including Amadeus, Sabre, and Galileo (Travelport). We are also experienced with a wide range of CRMs, booking engines, and mid/back-office accounting systems common in the travel industry.
How do you handle data security and confidentiality?
Data security is our top priority. We are SOC 2, ISO 27001, and PCI DSS compliant. Our security measures include end-to-end encryption, secure VPN access, disabled USB/printing, 24/7 CCTV monitoring, and a dedicated cybersecurity team. All employees sign strict non-disclosure agreements.
What does the onboarding process look like and how long does it take?
Our standard onboarding process takes between 2 to 4 weeks, depending on complexity. It involves four stages: Discovery, Solution Design, Deployment & Training, and Go-Live. A dedicated project manager will guide you through every step to ensure a seamless and non-disruptive transition.
Can your team work directly in our systems?
Yes. Our preferred and most secure method is to work directly within your systems (GDS, CRM, etc.) via secure VPN access. This ensures data remains in your environment, and there is complete transparency. We adapt to your technology, not the other way around.
How do you handle seasonal spikes in travel demand?
We utilize a hybrid staffing model that allows for rapid scaling. We maintain a pre-trained bench of travel experts who can be activated during your peak seasons, ensuring you never miss a booking opportunity while maintaining cost efficiency during off-peak times.
What happens if I'm not satisfied with an agent's performance?
We stand behind our quality. If an agent does not meet your expectations, we provide a free replacement policy. We will quickly identify a suitable replacement, handle the knowledge transfer, and ensure you continue to receive top-tier service without interruption.
How do you ensure consistent service quality across different teams?
Quality is baked into our DNA through our CMMI Level 5 certification. We use standardized operational procedures (SOPs), real-time quality monitoring tools, and regular performance audits. Our team leads conduct daily check-ins to ensure alignment with your brand standards.
