Description:
One of the main problems tour operators have is spending large sum of money on travel software that fails to implement in their business routine. The implementation of a travel software requires extensive preparation of the entire organization, and what companies usually miss out are obstacles that come from the human factor (not only the technology itself). Here are the reasons why these projects can fail!

?Have you ever wondered why software

implementation fails?

Page 3: 10 reasons why tour operator software implementation fails

?Have you ever been afraid of buying a travel

software because of the possibility it might not work, having spent your money on nothing at

the end?

Page 4: 10 reasons why tour operator software implementation fails

Problem:

Spending large sum of money on travel software that fails to implement in their business routine.

Page 5: 10 reasons why tour operator software implementation fails

#1Weak support and organization coming from the Management

Page 6: 10 reasons why tour operator software implementation fails

The successful implementation start and ends at the ”top”!

Page 7: 10 reasons why tour operator software implementation fails

#2Improperly defined goals of the

project

Page 8: 10 reasons why tour operator software implementation fails

Give employees time to accept the change and create goals

that are SMART!

Page 9: 10 reasons why tour operator software implementation fails

#3Poor research of travel software and

not knowing what it’s all about

Page 10: 10 reasons why tour operator software implementation fails

Prepare yourself by reading different materials (articles, blog posts, news portals)!

Page 11: 10 reasons why tour operator software implementation fails

Invest the time in finding the best solution for their business process and make an effort to study different software systems!

Page 12: 10 reasons why tour operator software implementation fails

#4Buying a system that isn’t good for

your business process

Page 13: 10 reasons why tour operator software implementation fails

Poor selection of travel software that does not fit the organization’s requirements can cost you 10 times more.

Page 14: 10 reasons why tour operator software implementation fails

That’s because:

a) You are trying to get the system at the lowest price possible

Page 15: 10 reasons why tour operator software implementation fails

b) You don’t know what your employees need and are basing your decisions on what you see on random web sites

Page 16: 10 reasons why tour operator software implementation fails

c) You’re in a hurry to buy the first piece of software you found on the internet

Page 17: 10 reasons why tour operator software implementation fails

d) You’re not including employees in the process of selecting a travel

software solution

Page 18: 10 reasons why tour operator software implementation fails

#5Lack of involving employees and not

defining project manager

Page 19: 10 reasons why tour operator software implementation fails

Engaging employees enables them to get acquainted with processes, work responsibilities and organizational activities!

Page 20: 10 reasons why tour operator software implementation fails

#6Poor information flow and

communication

Page 21: 10 reasons why tour operator software implementation fails

Interaction of all parties involved is crucial!

Page 22: 10 reasons why tour operator software implementation fails

#7Unrealistic expectations from your employees and the system itself

Page 23: 10 reasons why tour operator software implementation fails

Give your implementator time to adjust all changes wanted and don’t rush them with

questions like

„Is it ready yet?“

or

„Are you finished, do it ASAP!“

Page 24: 10 reasons why tour operator software implementation fails

Asking for too many customizations right away can postpone the project deadline and cost even more...

Page 25: 10 reasons why tour operator software implementation fails

#8Not following the timeline plan or insisting

on your own timeline plan

Page 26: 10 reasons why tour operator software implementation fails

Don’t find excuses to miss out on meetings!

Send needed documents and information!

Respond to emails!

Don’t have huge gaps between trainings!

Page 27: 10 reasons why tour operator software implementation fails

Trying to change the plan because you think that you want to sell something tomorrow is

BAD...

Page 28: 10 reasons why tour operator software implementation fails

#9Missing out on trainings or not having

trainings

Page 29: 10 reasons why tour operator software implementation fails

Forcing employees to stay late in the office and listen carefully

during training meetings is a

questionable idea (!?)

Page 30: 10 reasons why tour operator software implementation fails

Be careful that the software vendor company offers proper trainings!

Page 31: 10 reasons why tour operator software implementation fails

#10Not taking the time to upload data

Page 32: 10 reasons why tour operator software implementation fails

Prolonging the upload makes it even worse!

Plan your actions!

Page 33: 10 reasons why tour operator software implementation fails

Your employees will forget what they learned on the

trainings.

You’ll need to pay for the trainings once again!

The goal is: START USING THE SYSTEM!

Page 34: 10 reasons why tour operator software implementation fails

YES, we do create, advise, educate, train, provide and implement integrated comprehensive business

solutions based on information technologies!
