RAPTIM International Travel (now known as Key Travel) approached Grasp Technologies to solve their global data consolidation and travel analytics problem. Their goals were clear – to consolidate data from all business units and disparate systems to a single global data repository, and to provide an unparalleled view into that data.
The Challenge
Since 1949, RAPTIM has been the global leader in humanitarian airfares. Their mission is to serve those who serve the world. As a result, RAPTIM operates 12 business units across North America and Europe. They’re a top-50 travel management company and drives more than $500 million in revenue. However, these different business units across the globe struggled to consolidate data as they had three different back office accounting systems.
The data was stored in different locations and in different formats. This made data consolidation and travel analytics for clients (as well as for internal reporting) very difficult. Like many companies in RAPTIM’s position, this made it harder to manage a global business.
The Approach
- Leverage GraspSECURECONNECT technology and tenured industry experience to sync many years of data from different accounting systems.
- Consolidated each business unit’s data into one reporting instance and normalized the data across all of the systems, allowing each business unit to report all client data seamlessly.
- Consolidated all instances into one master database for RAPTIM’s leadership to view transactional data across their entire global footprint.
The Results
RAPTIM could now see data-sets how they would like. Grasp Technologies provided RAPTIM with the global solution they were after. GraspSECURECONNECT automated the consolidation process without manual intervention.
