关于客户
Magellan Vacations, established in 2000, is a luxury hotel booking company that caters to discerning travelers seeking personalized recommendations about hotel rooms. The company exclusively works with four- and five-star properties in key destinations such as Los Angeles, Miami, and New York City. Instead of booking online, customers discuss their options with highly trained booking agents who have firsthand experience of the rooms. This approach allows the agents to provide detailed feedback over the phone. Magellan Vacations employs 75 people, including teams for bookings, marketing, and IT. The company's focus on phone bookings creates a more personalized experience for customers but also presents challenges in tracking typical sales metrics.
挑战
When CEO Andrew Vignuzzi joined Magellan Vacations, his priority was to enable everyone at the company to access, manipulate, and draw insights from their data quickly. The company needed a BI solution that could provide real-time feedback for agents on sales closings, destination performance, and other metrics. Additionally, the solution had to be user-friendly enough for non-technical users to create their own reports and drill down into the data. The dashboards needed to be agile and scalable without requiring major infrastructure upgrades. The personalized, phone-based service of Magellan Vacations made it difficult to track standard sales metrics like closing rates, commissions, and bookings by destination automatically. The company had already trialed a leading in-memory technology, but its performance was sub-par, requiring specialist IT resources and consultants to work with the tool's proprietary scripts. This tool did not meet their needs, prompting the search for a better solution.
解决方案
Magellan Vacations experimented with several tools before discovering Sisense. The previous tools presented usability, cost, or infrastructure challenges. For instance, continuing with the previous tool would have required outsourcing reporting at a high cost and hiring a new IT staff member for $80,000 per year, in addition to the software cost. Sisense offered a near real-time dashboard that did not slow down the company's servers, regardless of the number of data sources accessed. The solution was intuitive enough for non-technical users to create their own reports. Sisense could handle any volume of data across multiple data sets with lightning-fast query speed. Users did not need SQL knowledge, and marketing and operations became more engaged in the reporting process. Sisense promised to reduce the burden on IT while offering a lower total cost of ownership than any other solution they had tried.
运营影响
  • The IT department reclaimed significant amounts of time as they no longer needed to create reports for colleagues, thanks to the user-friendly platform.
  • Booking agents received near real-time feedback, allowing team leads to coach and counsel agents to meet their sales goals effectively.
  • Users could call up reports immediately instead of waiting for a published report, enabling faster decision-making.
  • Data could be manipulated on the fly, allowing users to drill down via their dashboards and gain clear insights into performance metrics quickly.
  • The company culture shifted to a more data-driven approach, with non-IT users now able to analyze data and share insights rapidly.
数量效益
  • Avoided the cost of outsourcing reporting and hiring a new IT staff member, saving approximately $80,000 per year.
