Fareportal, Travel Technology Company

Objectives

Fareportal was looking for a solution that would help retain regular and potential customers, while ensuring stable revenue for the company, as well as keeping customer satisfaction at the highest level. This was Fareportal’s first experience of cooperation with a company that provides outsourcing services. That is why the model of cooperation developed already in the process, improving and becoming more convenient for both parties over time and with experience. This means that in addition to the main KPI goals, new, but no less important tasks arose in parallel, so we rapidly changed and adapted work processes to existing requirements and flexibly adapted to any conditions.

    FAQ

    Which outsourcing services for the travel industry does Simply Contact provide?

    Simply Contact offers tailored customer support outsourcing solutions for airlines and travel companies. We have aviation-trained teams, proprietary onboarding aligned to your specific policies, operational experience with Amadeus, Sabre, Navitaire, and Gabriel, and clients including Wizz Air and Fareportal.

    Do you provide call center services for travel agencies as well as airlines?

    Yes. Our operations cover the full travel ecosystem: airlines, OTAs, tour operators, travel management companies, and destination management organizations. The model is tailored per client: different verticals have different customer journeys, regulatory obligations, and peak patterns, and our operational design reflects that.

    Can you handle airport and airline call center outsourcing at scale, including during irregular operations?

    Absolutely. Our teams operate structured disruption playbooks covering rebooking, compensation, passenger communication, and regulatory escalations. We scale our teams during peak periods and sustain delivery quality throughout.

    Do you offer BPO services for destination management companies and tour operators?

    Yes. We provide back-office support, reservation handling, multilingual customer support, and supplier coordination for DMCs and tour operators, structured as a managed operation with QA, governance, and reporting built in. Teams are trained on your specific workflows and integrated with your existing tools.

    How do you handle outsourcing for travel and tourism industry reservations across multiple channels?

    We manage reservation support across voice, email, chat, social, and messengers with agents trained on GDS platforms and your specific booking policies. We handle group and multi-leg bookings, failed payments, last-minute modifications, and upgrades. The operational design ensures consistency across channels, not just coverage.

    How do you handle last-minute changes and emergencies?

    Operational readiness for volatility is built into our model from the start. We maintain trained reserve capacity, cross-trained agents who can shift between channels and tasks, and escalation protocols for high-impact scenarios. When disruptions hit, our teams operate from pre-built playbooks.

    How do you handle cancellations, refunds, and compensation cases?

    We build structured workflows aligned to your policies, approval thresholds, and regulatory obligations. AI is embedded where it reduces processing time: our RPA implementation achieved a 33% AHT reduction on compensation cases. Human agents handle exceptions, escalations, and emotionally sensitive interactions.

    Do you provide 24/7 travel call center outsourcing?

    Yes, continuously. Our teams provide round-the-clock coverage across all channels, including during irregular operations and seasonal peaks.

    What is Simply Contact pricing?

    Pricing depends on your support volumes, channel mix, and operational complexity. We offer two models: hourly-based, suited for lower volumes with shared agents; and ticket-based, offering full cost transparency with budgeting aligned to agreed contact volumes and dedicated capacity. The right structure is scoped before any commitment.

    How quickly can you launch and what does the onboarding process look like?

    Discovery and operational design typically take 2–4 weeks. From there, we launch only after full alignment on scope, expected outcomes, and performance targets — so there are no surprises post-go-live. Proprietary onboarding integrates your policies, tone of voice, and customer promise before any agent handles a live interaction.
