Travel agents, tour operators and travel wholesalers are typically spending thousands in unnecessary costs each year. And in a fiercely competitive market operating on high volumes and low margins, ensuring efficiency with sales and purchasing systems is no easy task. Especially when it comes to payments.
If you want to find out where you’re losing money, how efficient your platform really is and the simple way to eliminate these costs, read this white paper. It explores the top three areas where you could be overspending. And it reveals the statistics behind your unnecessary costs – giving you the information you need to save money and drive efficiency.
Ninety-five percent of companies polled in a recent Gartner survey considered increasing efficiency and productivity top priorities for IT departments when determining future budgets. Of those companies, 43 percent viewed increasing efficiency as a high priority, while 42 percent considered increased productivity a high priority.
Many departments—such as sales or service—focus on the company’s profits. And while a smooth-functioning IT department may contribute to the overall efficiency of an organization, it traditionally provides little to no contribution to the bottom line.
CSO Insights analysts gathered 100+ metrics from 1,500+ sales executives to develop insights on three key areas:
• the challenges facing their sales teams
• why those problems exist
• how they are successfully reengineering their teams to overcome those challenges
Based on this data, the whitepaper How to Build a World-Class Sales Organization clearly outlines how to increase productivity and collaboration so reps can spend more time selling.
To compete in today’s fast-paced business climate, enterprises need
accurate and frequent sales and customer reports to make real-time
operational decisions about pricing, merchandising and inventory

events as they happen, and more visibility into business activities so
information and systems are optimized for peak efficiency and performance.
By making use of data capture and business intelligence to
integrate and apply data across the enterprise, organizations can capitalize
on emerging opportunities and build a competitive advantage.
The IBM® data replication portfolio is designed to address these issues
through a highly flexible one-stop shop for high-volume, robust, secure

Field service managers are challenged to optimize resources and manage costs
while delighting customers. A modern platform that provides field staff with a
robust set of tools and capabilities (including offline), intelligent analytics, and the
broader capabilities of the Salesforce platform (such as Einstein and IoT cloud) gave
FSL customers the ability to not just cut costs but optimize their field service
operations. All early adopters experienced productivity and efficiency savings;
