Creating a custom telephony and CRM experience to handle surging travel demand

A specialist travel provider created a customised environment that enhanced efficiency, improved conversions and delivered its best peak sales season to date. 
Customer story

The challenge

Ocean Holidays has built its success on deep expertise and a highly specialised CRM system developed in-house. As demand grew — particularly after the collapse of Thomas Cook — the business faced mounting pressure. 

With peak season approaching and thousands of holidaymakers urgently needing support, their existing telephony system could no longer keep up. The company needed a solution that was reliable, customisable and capable of handling high volumes without downtime.

The solution

Ocean Holidays adopted a two-phase approach: 

Phase 1 - A reliable hosted telephony system.

This replaced their unreliable setup and provided the stability needed to support a high-volume, phone-centric business model.

Phase 2 - A bespoke CRM-mirrored system using a blend of technologies.

This mirrored their unique internal CRM workflows while maintaining the complexity required across their four business units. 

The outcome

The customised solution introduced: 

  • Live wallboards
  • Analytics & reporting
  • Click-to-dial functionality
  • Always-on call recording
  • Tailored agent experiences
 

The impact

A system built for pressure: The new telephony platform allowed Ocean Holidays to manage unprecedented demand, resulting in their best January sales ever. 

Higher conversion and retention rates: A more reliable, insight-driven system created a smoother customer experience and stronger outcomes.

The power of customisation: A mixed blend of technology empowered Ocean Holidays to maintain what made their CRM so effective, while enhancing it with scalable, modern features.

This hybrid approach gave the travel provider confidence and performance during one of the industry’s most challenging periods.
