The Challenge & Opportunity
The flat file process is costing you
time, accuracy, and guest trust.
The Flat File Problem
✗
Flat files are exported from booking systems, sent, then manually imported into your onboard PMS
✗
Manual imports take hours of staff effort during already-busy operational periods
✗
Data delays mean crew have outdated information at the moment it matters most — embarkation day
✗
Missing or incorrect excursion bookings, amenity orders, and travel documents frustrate guests on arrival
✗
Human error during manual imports introduces mistakes that are difficult to trace and correct
✗
No real-time visibility — crew never know if the data they have is current until problems appear
