TUI partners with Freeday to leverage cutting-edge innovation and alleviate employee workload. Freeday excels at navigating the complexity of an enterprise environment, engaging with multiple stakeholders, and considering the entire customer journey. With a focus on delivering results, Freeday ensures TUI stays ahead of the curve, providing expert guidance for optimizing digital employee solutions. This commitment to long-term success empowers TUI to make informed decisions, enhancing both efficiency and customer satisfaction.

TUI's automation journey with Freeday's began with Agent Assist, providing agents with the support they need by quickly finding answers in the knowledge base. But this is just the beginning. TUI plans to expand automation across all phases of the customer journey.

TUI's automation journey with Freeday covers the entire travel process of TUI’s clients. Together we are building a team of digital travel agents employees enhancing each phase to provide a seamless experience for both agents and customers.

At the initial stage of the customer journey, when customers are envisioning their next vacation, a digital travel agent will be available to inspire and assist travelers in finding their ideal holiday. Later, as they progress to the booking phase, the process will become fully automated, enabling seamless booking, modifications, and upselling opportunities.

Additionally, other TUI departments are now also interested in leveraging Freeday. For example, TUI is pioneering with Pilot Assist, a digital technical assistant designed to efficiently support the ground crew by addressing technical queries. Also, TUI Retail is keen to adopt Freeday's innovative solutions to enhance their operations and improve customer service.

Looking ahead, we envision automation encompassing the entire travel experience. This includes acting as a travel companion, offering real-time assistance and addressing inquiries throughout the journey. By embracing automation across all stages, TUI aims to enhance efficiency and elevate the customer experience, ensuring that travelers receive top-tier service from start to finish.
