Introduction
Pets are an integral part of many families, and for pet owners, their furry friends are like family members. When it comes to air travel, it’s essential to ensure that pets are well taken care of and that their safety is a top priority. Ensuring animal welfare posed a significant challenge for a large North American carrier seeking real-time visibility into animal scanning compliance, from pet acceptance to customer delivery.
That’s where TCG Digital’s Animal Wellness Initiative came in, providing a comprehensive solution that improved the efficiency and effectiveness of the carrier’s cargo operations.
The TCG Digital team’s solution was a game-changer, providing the carrier with real-time visibility of pets from the time they were accepted to customer delivery. The Animal Wellness Initiative included an intelligent dashboard with automated rules for accountability when handling pets, historical reporting for scanning compliance, and revenue impact-handling costs. With rule-based solutions to aid visual checks within and outside scheduled alerts, the carrier could maintain an audit trail of activities and operationalize scanning devices to handle pets during irregular operations.
The solution was cloud-enabled and included an Omni-channel system for alerts and on-demand reporting. By implementing TCG Digital’s solution, the carrier was able to minimize animal transportation incidents and associated handling expenses, all while improving customer satisfaction, making them more likely to choose the airline for future travel.
To implement the Animal Wellness Initiative, TCG Digital utilized mcube™ Reporting Accelerator Framework, AWS – Lambda, AppSync, Kinesis, DynamoDB, Elasticsearch, Step Functions, CloudWatch, EKS, Docker, Microservice, Java, NodeJS, Ionic, Amplify, Android, iOS, and Angular 7. The consulting engagement allowed for a UX/UI design that detailed functionality and technical architecture/design, ensuring a seamless and efficient implementation process.
Overall, TCG Digital’s Animal Wellness Initiative was a success, providing a comprehensive solution that improved the carrier’s cargo operations, reduced costs, and most importantly, ensured the safety and welfare of pets during air travel.
