How a travel business moved from carrier frustration to reliable calling support

Background

A travel business serving international customers depended heavily on inbound phone calls from online advertising. Calls were directly tied to bookings, customer inquiries, and revenue.

The company was previously using a large telecom provider, but when their phone lines had issues, they struggled to reach the right person and get the issue resolved quickly.

The problem

For a travel company, phone downtime is not just a technical issue. It means:

• Missed booking inquiries
• Lost advertising spend
• Lower customer trust
• Sales team downtime
• No clear escalation path

The business needed a provider that could respond quickly and support their operation more directly.

The A1ROUTES approach

The company did not move everything immediately. They started with a smaller monthly commitment and tested A1ROUTES on a limited part of their operation.

A1ROUTES supported them with:

• Reliable inbound calling
• DID provisioning
• Direct human support
• Faster escalation
• Gradual scaling as usage increased

Expansion

As confidence grew, the client expanded their monthly usage significantly. Their business also grew during the year, and A1ROUTES became a more important part of their voice infrastructure.

The account grew from an initial committed setup into a much larger monthly relationship, supported by a larger DID footprint and ongoing operational support.

The account expanded from approximately $1.5K/month to more than $6K/month.
