CASE STUDY

A small German hotel chain approached us when they needed data from their CRS system (offered by a large US corporation) fed to Google's data lake. Although the CRS company in question could produce all the data needed, they could only offer it in .csv format, and they did not support any appropriate interface with Google.

1. Cookiebite.net first developed interfaces to the CRS company's specifications, so information could be fed to BI Data Strongbox^TM . To facilitate our partners' needs, we allowed them to push data to us every time a consequential change was made within the hotel's inventory/rate matrix. Full overlay and delta feeds are accepted.

2. We allocated and secured a cloud based Strongbox DataBase solution. Data is hosted within Germany only - in line with the client's legal and GDPR requirements. 

3. We set up an automated process that disambiguates, de-duplicates and normalises their data, in preparation for bespoke synthesis (baselining).

4. Once data was processed and formatted in line with the client's (and Google's) specifications, it was made available for Google to pull. Multiple search types and extraction is supported (full overlay, calendar updates and deltas).

Today we help our client process more than 2000 calls ever day per hotel.
