What was standing in the way
Travel itinerary creation is a document-intensive process. Information arrives in multiple formats - PDFs, emails, structured forms, supplier documents - and needs to be extracted, validated, and structured before it can be used.
At The Customer, that process was largely manual. Skilled staff spent significant time doing work that was repetitive, difficult to scale, and prone to error under volume.
As itinerary volumes grew, the operational constraint became clear: the manual process couldn't keep pace without adding headcount - and adding headcount wasn't a sustainable answer.
The solution in production
DCT developed an AI-powered document intelligence platform that reads, understands, and processes itinerary documents automatically - across formats, layouts, and document types.
The platform extracts relevant information, validates it against business rules, structures it into usable data, and routes it into downstream workflows without manual intervention. Documents that previously required human processing now move through the system end-to-end.
The impact was immediate and measurable: an 80% reduction in manual processing effort, faster turnaround times, improved data accuracy, and an operation that could now scale with volume rather than against it.
The agents behind the deployment
Automated document extraction, intelligent classification, data validation, and structured output generation across multiple itinerary document formats.
Workflow automation and operational orchestration to route processed documents into downstream systems and business processes.
What changed
- 80% reduction in manual itinerary processing effort
- Improved data accuracy through automated validation
- Faster itinerary turnaround enabling better customer service
- Increased operational efficiency and capacity at existing headcount
- Scalable processing capability that grows with volume
