About the Client
TLC is a marketing company mainly serving leading hospitality and tourism brands in India with customized, cost–effective and long-term marketing solutions. The company helps brands in their marketing strategies, business alliances, customer loyalty programs (CLP), and membership management services.
Existing CLP Management System
TLC used to provide a white label CLP Management System to hotel chains. This system had 4 separate desktop applications for admin panel, configuration, operations & program management. The desktop apps were incompetent to infuse business mobility & stay aligned with business growth. Manual installation was creating several operations, management and servicing related issues.
Management Challenges
- CLP System-configuration on multiple locations was an on-site task, consuming a lot of time and resources of TLC as well as its clients
- Unavailability of any unified and controllable system across client’s multiple outlets/locations
- Frequent incidents of inaccuracy and mistakes on program configuration and management, by cross-functional or multiple system operators
- Lack of flexibility in system to quickly adopt changes or matching the specific needs on demand
- The lead management system was not so productive and object-oriented
- No standard reporting system for success analysis of any loyalty/membership program
Member(Customer) Service Challenges:
- The customers had to carry the cards or forms to get benefits of the promotional programs
- Member and program management was even more challenging at times of cross-promotional offers, running multiple programs, programs in association with third parties, multi-brand programs, client’s partners outside the TLC clientele etc
- Lack of proper record management system for members/visitors details caused many loyal customers go unrewarded.
