To address these challenges, we developed a custom, web-based refund automation platform designed to increase efficiency, enhance customer satisfaction, and integrate seamlessly with existing airline systems. The solution focused on four key areas:

Digital Refund Request Portal

We replaced the manual, paper-based system with an intuitive, self-service web portal, allowing passengers to submit refund requests online with the necessary documentation. The portal provided real-time status tracking and automated notifications via email and SMS, keeping passengers informed throughout the process. By eliminating physical paperwork and manual submissions, the system significantly reduced processing errors and accelerated refund approvals.

Automated Claim Verification & Processing

To streamline approvals and minimize manual intervention, we integrated an automated claim verification system that validated refund requests against airline policies and eligibility criteria. The system flagged discrepancies or missing information, reducing the back-and-forth between customers and support teams. Standardized approval workflows ensured a consistent, efficient, and error-free refund process, improving operational accuracy and turnaround times.

Seamless Integration with Airline Systems

We enhanced the accuracy and operational efficiency of refund management system by integrating it with AMADEUS, Caribbean Airlines' existing reservation and ticketing system. This integration automatically retrieved passenger booking details, eliminating the need for manual data entry and ensuring that only eligible refund requests were processed.

Enhanced Customer Support & Communication

To reduce customer frustration and support team workload, we introduced integrated communication features within the refund portal. Passengers could now track their refund status in real time, interact with support agents via live chat, and access self-service FAQs to resolve common inquiries. This reduced call center volume while improving response times and customer satisfaction.
