Traveler data: what if your business tools also improved your ecological footprint?

Date : Publié par

Data is everywhere. It structures files, guides decisions, and automates processing. But beyond its functional role, we often forget that it also has an environmental impact . Multiplying re‑entries, duplicates, unnecessary emails, or manual processing also increases the digital footprint of your business . What if your business tools could change that?

Centralizing means (already) polluting less

A poorly structured travel file is often a series of avoidable manipulations: information entered manually several times, documents sent as attachments, multiple reminders or corrections... All these operations take up time, server resources, bandwidth, and generate invisible digital pollution .

With tools like those offered by Afidium, the logic changes: we centralize the data , we avoid redundancy , we streamline exchanges . An automatically verified PNR, enriched by personalized rules, is a PNR that no longer requires three emails, two calls, and an Excel spreadsheet attachment to be corrected.

Middleware, CRM, clean data: sobriety also comes through architecture

Ecological optimization requires technical choices. By interfacing tools via lightweight, well‑designed middleware , unnecessary exchanges between systems are reduced. By structuring data as soon as a file is created, heavy corrective processing is avoided. By improving data quality (clean data) , the risk of errors or re‑entry is reduced on both the client and supplier sides.

The benefits are twofold: less bandwidth , less server processing , less human manipulation . And therefore a lighter digital carbon footprint , without sacrificing performance.

When sobriety rhymes with productivity

What's good for the planet is often good for your teams. Less handling also means less stress for agents , fewer low‑value tasks , and less friction in processes .

This is exactly what the Afidium quality control modules, or Sasha for file management, allow: fewer back‑and‑forths, a centralized view, structured and efficiently shared data. The result: faster, more reliable, more responsible processing .

What if green tech came through your business tools?

Talking about eco‑responsibility in tourism isn't just about discussing modes of transportation or the impact of housing. It's also about rethinking the digital tools that orchestrate all services, from quotes to post‑sales.

We believe it is time to integrate sobriety into the very heart of information systems . Through data structuring, fluidity of exchanges, and reasoned interoperability. And this, without compromising on quality of service or operational performance.

CO2 emissions: a key argument in selling a plane ticket?

Since 2008, travel agents have been able to determine the CO2 emissions of one plane ticket versus another. With the French increasingly keen to reduce their carbon footprint, this data was intended to serve as a selling point. But is it really the case?
