Triometric's innovative XML analytics platform now fully customised to analyse real-time search and booking data for airlines deploying NDC-Xpress

EGHAM, SURREY, UNITED KINGDOM, October 28, 2015 /EINPresswire.com/ -- Triometric, the leading provider of real-time XML business intelligence (BI) to the online travel industry today announced the expansion of its solutions portfolio for airlines with the launch of Analytics for NDC-Xpress, a flexible business intelligence platform.

NDC-Xpress, a powerful distribution and merchandising platform from Farelogix, enables airlines to implement IATA’s New Distribution Capability (NDC) and deliver airline-controlled merchandising, pricing and API distribution in a SaaS model. Triometric Analytics for NDC-Xpress is the optional analytics layer that monitors the XML data stream passing through the NDC-Xpress platform to deliver granular intelligence on markets, customers and channels. Triometric translates raw XML request and reply messages into meaningful insights that airlines can use to make data-driven decisions to optimise their merchandising and distribution operations. In parallel, the Triometric platform can deliver insights into a range of operational key performance indicators.

With 60% of airline tickets globally sold via travel agents, airlines need to fill a capability and analytics gap between their direct (web) and indirect (travel agent) channels, providing identical retail capabilities across all channels. To close this merchandising capability gap, IATA is leading a collaborative industry initiative to define a new XML-based New Distribution Capability (NDC) messaging standard. This will provide consumers with the same shopping experience regardless of how and where they do their travel shopping.

To address this market need, Triometric and Farelogix announced in February this year, their collaboration to deliver real-time business intelligence to support airlines in NDC implementation and ancillary merchandising strategies. The collaboration brings together Triometric’s analytics platform and the airline merchandising, pricing and API distribution capabilities of Farelogix.

Triometric Analytics for NDC-Xpress is available from today and is also delivered using a SaaS model, making access simple for all Farelogix NDC-Xpress customers who are interested in subscribing to this layer of business intelligence to enhance their merchandising capabilities.

Understanding how travellers search and book for travel is increasingly vital for airlines as they embrace NDC standards. Triometric NDC Analytics helps airlines harness the intelligence embedded in the rich NDC-schema compliant XML message streams that make up millions of search requests, offers and bookings every day. Analysis of this search and booking data gives airlines deep insight into their customers’ travel intentions and preferences and helps them tailor better offers for conversions based on customer context and market demand. The platform also gives the IT department insight into critical operational performance metrics such as response times, timeouts and message or system errors. Online travel is a fast paced and highly competitive environment where systems must be monitored and maintained to run optimally at all times to avoid any degradation of service to the user or loss of revenue opportunities.
