BIGGEST INNOVATION OF 2025
Launch of WingsConnect, an open and fully integrated platform to ensure the company stays agile in an ever-evolving content and AI landscape. The client portal and mobile app give travel managers, EAs and travellers instant access to itineraries, profiles, risk alerts, traveller tracking and reporting - all in one place. Behind the scenes, WingsAnalytics and enhanced back-office systems are driving better data accuracy, speed and financial control.
Open architecture allows the platform to deliver enhanced automation designed to significantly reduce manual touchpoints, improving efficiency while freeing up consultants to focus on adding value.
The TMC’s consultants can see activity in real time and step in whenever needed. When disruption happens or a flight is cancelled, travellers receive updates directly to their mobile device in real time.
The technology also allows our clients to have greater control, delivering enhanced continuous fare checking, intelligent SLA monitoring, automated invoice processing, advanced analytics and improved cost allocation tools.
