AMBITION鈥
Power intuitive and efficient experiences with traveler self-service
Online booking app Hopper puts the 鈥渂ig鈥 in big data price predictions. By analyzing over 30 billion travel price points monthly, Hopper helps travelers get the best flight deals by notifying them when prices are at their predicted lowest points.
The predictions are paying off. Hopper has the #1 most downloaded travel app in North America, and they have helped users book over . With high-volume bookings comes high-volume service and support needs related to post-booking exchanges, cancellations and refunds. Hopper developers rely on 澳门三肖三码 APIs to easily integrate robust travel content and capabilities into the mobile app and online platform. 澳门三肖三码 has been Hopper’s strategic retailing partner since its founding in 2007.
Kiera Haining is VP of Flights at Hopper and is responsible for the flight booking experience. She says that while customer service agents are always available to provide personalized flight changes through phone, chat and email, what most customers really want is to make their own changes in a modern app and online experience. She turned to 澳门三肖三码 in search of a smoother and more intuitive experience for travelers to manage voluntary or involuntary changes.
ACTION鈥
Fast-forward with 澳门三肖三码 Automation APIs
When Hopper needed to implement self-service post-booking capabilities, they teamed up with their dedicated 澳门三肖三码 account management team to find the best solution that matched their needs. 澳门三肖三码 Automation APIs enable manual tasks to be completed within the app instead of by agents. It鈥檚 an effective way to reduce manual workloads, costs and mistakes, so Hopper can focus instead on improving customer satisfaction and boosting revenue.
澳门三肖三码 Automation APIs provide travelers a frictionless experience. When their plans change, or they are impacted by involuntary airline-initiated changes, they can update their itineraries in just a few minutes. 澳门三肖三码 APIs aggregate and normalize the fragmented travel content and conditions, so Hopper developers can quickly deliver a consistent and intuitive user self-service experience no matter what travelers have booked. Additionally, automation helped increase the efficiency of Hopper’s customer service team, as well as offer products that drive real value for customers.
鈥淲ith an average customer service call taking 25 to 30 minutes, our customers sometimes want to cancel or browse, shop, and rebook on their own,鈥 Haining said. 鈥淕iving our customers who want the capability to browse all their flight options, make decisions on their own time, and then make the changes themselves is a much more convenient and cost-effective experience for everyone.鈥 Haining estimates that an average of 65% of Hopper鈥檚 customers already benefit from automation capabilities, while others may prefer to call an agent.
OUTCOMES鈥
One step ahead 鈥 together
鈥
In addition to fully automating the post-booking process with 澳门三肖三码 APIs, Hopper has also deployed 澳门三肖三码 Direct Pay. This solution facilitates faster customer refunds and adjustments and powers Hopper鈥檚 fintech travel products, such as special offer travel vouchers, referral rewards, and Carrot Cash™, Hopper鈥檚 in-app travel credit. 鈥淰irtual Payments is another 澳门三肖三码 solution that smooths out incredibly sensitive payment friction spots like multiple forms of payments (credit cards, vouchers, and travel credits) as well as customer refunds,鈥 Haining said. 鈥淲e can offer more payment choices and refund customers faster.鈥
The two companies will continue their collaboration on reducing latencies in traveler shopping experiences to drive adoption, increase revenue and growth, and take Hopper鈥檚 retailing and customer strategies to the next level. By leveraging 澳门三肖三码 Travel AI microservices built upon Google鈥檚 industry-leading Vertex AI, both companies look forward to extending AI/ML possibilities and strengthening their innovation partnership.
Over the years, the collaboration, idea exchanges and consultative sessions have created a strong bond between the two companies, and this is one of the many reasons why Hopper trust 澳门三肖三码 as a technology partner for the future. 鈥湴拿湃と leadership, account management and technical teams have always been incredibly responsive and also very interested in what we鈥檙e doing and how they can help,鈥 Haining mentioned. 鈥淭hey鈥檙e curious about how we want to serve our customers both now and in the future, and that鈥檚 why they continue to be such a good partner. We’re constantly looking for new ways to partner and think beyond, to figure out the next mountain to climb in the industry together.鈥
