Portman Travel is one of the UK’s leading, independent travel management companies.

The system which links 550 users across 17 sites has: empowered contact centre supervisors & travel agents; reduced call waiting times to under three seconds; and provided ed £30,000 ROI.

It empowered supervisors and continues to deliver cost savings and an ever-improving, consistent customer experience across the Portman Travel brand. This includes using communication technology in the future such as videoconferencing to help Portman’s clients avoid travel costs which is an emerging trend in the travel sector.
