The One Order Proposal Sebastien Touraine Head Airline Merchandising IATA World Financial Symposium 2015
Industry Trends
Three major industry trends Ancillary revenue and increasingly complex airline merchandising products Continuous growth of ticketless low cost carriers NDC brings a new XML based offer & order management between agents & airlines A century of tickets & 50+ years of PNRs Confusing for customers & complex for airlines and agents Digital transformation with 100% ET/EMD but keeping the paper mentality ONE Customer Order is modernizing the airline merchandising delivery! Details available in the 2014 StB White Paper
ONE Order Complements NDC Travel Agent Shop Order Aggregator Offer Receipt Offer Management Offer Responsible Airline Order Management NDC Why have separate reservation and payment confirmation records? Reservation Record Ticketing Record Could we build upon the ticketless carriers approach and support a more complex service delivery and interlining? with order items and fulfillment 8 control status Product Delivery ONE Order Let s build a ONE Order standard to drive service delivery and accounting
Do current industry processes provide a satisfactory customer experience?
Objectives One Reference One Process One Industry
ONE REFERENCE Improved customer servicing One customer reference as the only access point, even in case of disruption More reliable communication of customer orders to interline partners and service delivery suppliers
ONE PROCESS Reduce processes/systems complexity and cost Building upon the new NDC messages for interaction between concerned industry parties, sharing the order information One complete set of XML schemers from Shop to Services delivery Liberating the market for PSS systems from constraining backward capabilities
ONE INDUSTRY Allow interoperability, including LCCs Make it easier for new service providers to become part of an order promoting interlining with LCC and intermodal Move travel industry to other retailing industry aligning to the digital and e-commerce world Preserve the principle that the Offer Responsible Airline holds the total order payment (unless bilaterally agreed differently)
High-level Concept One Container One Identifier Single source of truth Standardized control status
ONE Order Design (1) Main actors Workflow & control mechanism Messaging Accounting process Airlines hold the single source of truth in their Order Management Systems (OMS) Delivery providers (e.g. ground handling systems) Revenue accounting systems
ONE Order Design (2) Main actors Workflow & control mechanism Messaging Accounting process New status flags of the ordered items replace ticket issuance and its coupons status flags to support the workflow ONE Order control mechanism ensures that the right actor is taking the authorized actions on the order
ONE Order Design (3) Main actors Workflow & control mechanism Messaging Accounting process New standard XML messaging will be put in place between the involved stakeholders ONE Order messaging will leverage on NDC existing message and adding control mechanism
ONE Order Design (4) Main actors Workflow & control mechanism Messaging Accounting process Accounting will be based upon workflow of a single order, bringing the industry closer to standard retail accounting principles ONE Order enable NDC interlining with billing based on information available on OMS (not on ET/EMD)
Industry Case for Change
ONE Order key industry drivers Reduce cost Simpler, faster customer servicing No more complex processes, systems and data inefficiencies No more industry jargon: use of more standardized IT solutions as opposed to dedicated airline solutions Increase revenues Supporting delivery of more complex product enabled by NDC Assisting a wider array of business models, interlining between all carriers and further entities Drive innovation By moving travel industry to a consumer retailing industry, aligning to the digital and e-commerce world By opening the technology market to more vendors
Industry implementation cost and risk Cost Reduce Cost systems) Risks Upgrade of information technology used by the industry (PSS or ERP Order Transition (training, business process adaptation, setup of new systems and migration of data) Risk of Transition Willingness to Change Industry Alignment
Summary An opportunity for the industry Reduce Cost Concept is feasible and aligned with other industry ecommerce platforms It completes the modernization of airline passenger services systems started with NDC Business case indicates that longer benefits are greater than the cost of transition Airline passengers will be happy! Standard development roadmap Industry commitment by the IATA Board in December 2015 Standard development and industry pilots from 2016-2018
