Air Travel Baggage Handling Challenges Impacting Customer Experience

The client faces difficulties in providing a seamless, paperless baggage handling experience, leading to customer stress, inefficient baggage tracking, and poor integration with existing airline systems. These issues hinder the delivery of a sustainable and hassle-free journey for passengers, affecting customer satisfaction and operational efficiency.

About the Client

A mid-sized airline or air travel service provider seeking to modernize baggage handling with integrated, customer-centric solutions.

Objectives for Enhancing Baggage Management and Passenger Experience

  • Develop an integrated baggage tracking system that enables passengers to skip traditional check-in processes and enjoy paperless travel.

  • User-friendly interfaces that enable passengers to skip traditional check-in queues and monitor their baggage throughout the journey.
  • Solution provision, development, and release management support for continuous feature enhancement.

Technology Stack and Architectural Preferences
