  • Industry:

    Travel and Hospitality

  • Objective:

    Reduce repetitive, manual tasks.

  • Result:

    87% reduction in manual tasks, no more empty seats.

No More Empty Seats

Royal Caribbean Group was losing 10% of its annual budget to empty seats at training events. In order to maintain first-rate travel and hospitality experiences, and consistently train a distributed workforce, Royal Caribbean Group runs training events across the globe. When empty seats at training events happen at that scale, the costs directly impact the training budget. Additionally, the training team spent more than 80% of their time manually managing vital administrative tasks. They came to Administrate looking for a solution.

The Challenges

Disconnected learning and business systems made keeping track of learner data difficult. This meant missed training opportunities, unreliable course schedules, and unfilled seats.

Managing complex training logistics via spreadsheets was slowing their team down.

Learner engagement was produced manually. They spent hours sending thousands of emails and SMS communications one at a time.

Royal Caribbean Group now automates repetitive tasks and leverages a powerful data-driven solution to optimize training operations, filling every seat.

From the reporting, to the automation, to the approval process, to the event creation - there are so many little things the system does and that I can use, it’s fantastic.

One of the biggest issues we needed to resolve was: empty seats. We couldn't manage cancellations well. Now, with Administrate, we’re able to not only stay ahead of cancellations with automated reminders, but also fill seats quickly when cancellations do happen, using the waitlist feature they built for us.
