The challenge
Travelstart is Africa’s leading online travel agency that helps today’s business and leisure travellers search, compare and book the best flight, bus, hotel, car hire, holiday packages and activities all in one place, on one platform. The Travelstart Group includes SafariNow, NightsBridge, Club Travel and Flightsite and operates from 8 cities across Africa and the Middle East.
The solution
Travelstart required a system consolidation on one platform for enhanced collaboration. A user-count of 400 was deployed to Google Workspace with Google Cloud Directory. The work transformation also included the integration of several third party tools.
Although we had to expose our staff to a lot of change in a short period of time, the Google environment was so aligned with our core values that this far justified the opportunity cost. We were also confident in the security of the platform
-Jan-Andre le Roux, CTO
The result
Greater collaboration enhancing productivity and time efficiency as well as agility in work processes.
