SiBook improves the competitive advantage of Slovenian tourist agencies

Kompas implemented S&T Slovenija’s comprehensive information system

Ljubjana, January 24th 2007 - In the last quarter of 2006, S&T Slovenija successfully implemented its SiBook solution at the leading Slovenian tourist agency, Kompas, d.d. SiBook is a comprehensive and advanced information solution for the tourism industry and enables Kompas to manage all industry-specific operations. The company used the solution to re-engineer and streamline their business processes and reduce costs. SiBook also allowed Kompas to reduce the time-to-market for new product offerings. With SiBook S&T Slovenija offered a secure information solution to the global tourism industry that helps companies maintain their competitive edge in an increasingly demanding marketplace.

The merger of the largest Kompas’ subsidiaries and the quick pace of technological development pushed Kompas to start searching for a comprehensive information solution that would successfully support its operations. The company had successfully co-operated with S&T Slovenija in the past, so the decision to collaborate on the ERP system implementation was easy.

“We based our decision to work with S&T Slovenija on our long-term partnership and our previous collaborative projects, where we successfully married our experience in the tourism industry to the company’s high-tech expertise,” said Luka Kukec, Manager of Information Services and e-Business at Kompas. “In the past years we worked together to develop a completely integrated computerized reservation system (CRS), which supports all of our business processes. Today, SiBook is improving our agility, which is our key competitive advantage.”

“Tourism is one of the fastest growing industries in the world, with 4.2% annual growth,” explained Matej Kovačil, e-Business Unit Manager, S&T Slovenija. “This means that the tourism industry will be twice as large in 2016 as it is today. To remain competitive in this new era you need the best support for different aspects of your business and IT support is one of the most important ones. SiBook is a revolutionary product that helps develop the industry as a whole.”

The solution was developed using the most advanced tools and the latest technologies, and operates in an open environment, internet and intranet roles. SiBook was developed using .NET technologies and is based on S&T’s proprietary ADF application development platform. It covers all aspects of the business process for tour operators, travel agents and DMC companies for inbound and outbound travel. It enables companies to achieve better insight into their business and improve their profitability as well as ensure the agility to respond to changes in the marketplace.

In line with the expectations of major changes in travel distribution, the solution supports all current and future sales channels. By offering highly sophisticated and scalable tools for travel agents, SiBooks enables robust support for traditional direct channels, such as street offices and call centers. The product also offers powerful solutions for online travel agencies. This module also ensures a user-friendly customer experience and enables real-time booking.
