When it comes to air travel, it\u2019s essential to ensure that pets are well taken care of and that their safety is a top priority. Ensuring animal welfare posed a significant challenge for a large North American carrier seeking real-time visibility into animal scanning compliance, from pet acceptance to customer delivery.<\/p>\n\n<p>That\u2019s where TCG Digital\u2019s Animal Wellness Initiative came in, providing a comprehensive solution that improved the efficiency and effectiveness of the carrier\u2019s cargo operations.<\/p>\n\n<p>The TCG Digital team\u2019s solution was a game-changer, providing the carrier with real-time visibility of pets from the time they were accepted to customer delivery. The Animal Wellness Initiative included an intelligent dashboard with automated rules for accountability when handling pets, historical reporting for scanning compliance, and revenue impact-handling costs. With rule-based solutions to aid visual checks within and outside scheduled alerts, the carrier could maintain an audit trail of activities and operationalize scanning devices to handle pets during irregular operations.<\/p>\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">\u00a0<\/h2>\n\n<p>The solution was cloud-enabled and included an Omni-channel system for alerts and on-demand reporting. By implementing TCG Digital\u2019s solution, the carrier was able to minimize animal transportation incidents and associated handling expenses, all while improving customer satisfaction, making them more likely to choose the airline for future travel.<\/p>\n\n<p>To implement the Animal Wellness Initiative, TCG Digital utilized <!--StartFragment --><strong><span class=\"cf0\">mcube<\/span><span class=\"cf0\">\u2122 <\/span><\/strong><!--EndFragment -->Reporting Accelerator Framework,\u00a0<strong>AWS \u2013 Lambda<\/strong>, AppSync, Kinesis, DynamoDB, Elasticsearch, Step Functions, CloudWatch, EKS, Docker, Microservice, Java, NodeJS, Ionic, Amplify, Android, iOS, and Angular 7.
