The solution
To overcome their business challenges, Jet2 have gradually built a team within Open Destinations’ Business Support department, totalling from 30 to now over 130 staff. These are made up of Finance, Customer Admin teams, Data Controllers, and Team Leaders.
With significant responsibility being handed over to Open Destinations, it was essential for Jet2 to recruit the right staff for two distinct functions and become a seamless extension of the team. To accomplish this, staff were trained over two weeks in Goa, covering Jet2’s processes and applications and Go-Live supervision.
“Open Destinations have impressed with their dedication, focus and attention to detail. They have been a pleasure to work with and have become a valued extension to our UK based team.”
The result
With a highly-trained, committed and dedicated Business Support team and bi-weekly quality sessions in place, notable performance improvements did not take long to achieve. The Data Control team has loaded over 450,000 hotel stop sales to date (09.08.19) with an error rate of just 0.42%. This is significantly lower than the agreed Service Level Agreement (SLA) of 1.5% and demonstrates a 46% improvement on 2018 hotel contract loading accuracy. There was also a significant improvement in the Productivity SLA ; 114.0% compared with the 95% target, so too the Average Handle Time (AHT) of 52.63 seconds versus an SLA of 60.00 seconds.
The Customer Administration team tasked with querying and investigating customer e-mails has also consistently exceeded the daily logging target and reduced the backlog of emails to achieve a peak-period SLA of less than 2 working days. As the Jet2 business has grown exponentially in 2019, the Open Destinations Business Support Service team has made a positive contribution to the business with high levels of efficiency in service and cost.
