The building of trust and confidence in a vendor entirely depends on the quality of solutions and services that are delivered to a client. The leading carrier of the Republic of Croatia wanted a trustworthy partner who could offer interline audit services. Coforge, based on its 18-year partnership with the client, was able to convince the client for further collaboration. Our interline audit services along with the fare audit services delivered more value by reducing manual efforts, increasing staff efficiency, and increasing ROI for the client.
The airline is the leading carrier of the Republic of Croatia and is a full member of Star Alliance. It has more than 14 codeshare partners and operates in more than 35 European destinations of which six are domestic. The airline has a fleet of 12 aircraft, carrying more than 1.8 million passengers in a year.
The volatile economic environment coupled with rising fuel costs was impacting the profitability of the airline. Until 2012, their complete fare auditing was performed in-house, by the Sales Documents Department of the Revenue Accounting unit. However, with the implementation of interface between MonaLisa and SAP ERP in 2009, a lot of resources were moved to check and correct the details of the sales data, especially details of the exchanged documents.
The sales volume was constantly growing, resulting in a huge backlog of sales documents waiting to be audited. The carrier had to decide between hiring additional staff or partly or completely outsourcing the fare auditing process. After evaluating various scenarios, they decided to outsource a part of their agents’ sales for fare auditing.
Our long-term engagement with the client started more than a decade ago when Coforge was chosen as their fare audit service provider. Driven by excellent experience and a high level of satisfaction with our fare audit services, the client chose Coforge as their strategic partner and added our BPO interline audit services to their list of solutions.
Besides growing their sales volumes, the client wanted an integrated solution and more simplified processes in their own in-house Revenue Accounting solution. Coforge’ interline audit services were evaluated for the engagement. After appraising various solutions from a number of vendors, the client selected our MonaLisa solution because it fulfilled all the requirements in the most optimal manner.
