Leveraging its deep domain knowledge of the air transport sector, TCS said it is creating a “first-of-its-kind” customised Passenger Services Technology Platform for PPG. The new platform is aimed at enhancing customer experience by simplifying reservations for various services at PPG’s lounges and other hospitality outlets.   

“The platform will integrate into the larger B2B partner ecosystem enabling seamless product offerings, selection and service integration, enhance the airport hospitality experience, and reinvigorate business growth,” TCS said in a statement. The platform is expected to be first deployed at Bangalore International Airport Limited in early 2022.
