Project Description
CHALLENGE
TravelTainment is a company that is focused on providing core customer services. All tourism-related information in the particular regions such as hotels, beaches, towns, sights, leisure activities are researched by TravelTainment, documented in the form of texts and images and prepared digitally for the information about the hotel and the surrounding area. The events calendar informs customers about goings-on in the most popular holiday areas.
The aerial and satellite images offer a bird’s eye view. Through geo-referencing (the entering of atlas co-ordinates) and information on the surrounding area may be obtained for several thousand hotels. This holiday information is supplemented by information about countries and regions throughout the world. With information about the (departure) airports, TravelTainment supports travelers in the planning stage even before they have arrived at their holiday destination.
In this way, TravelTainment boasts both a quantitatively and qualitatively unique database for this field of expertise.
There are thousands of travel brochures that needs to be updated online on a regular basis since it entails travel information pertaining to various destinations around the world which will enable the customers to have easy accessibility. TravelTainment outsources this work of updating their online system to GlowTouch so that the updates are done immediately and much faster.
SOLUTION
TravelTainment and GlowTouch are working together on a project which is basically a data entry project. Here, we are provided with Travel Brochures in a PDF Format wherein we enter the Tour details using an online tool provided by the TravelTainment after extracting the information from the Brochures. It also entails uploading of Tour snapshots and using of HTML Codes if necessary.
The client uses this to update their tourism database and generate brochures which can be used as fliers, posters or also it can be viewed on website. The client generally collects the PDF files through other tourist agency and these are sent to us through courier as hard copies or we are given the links to download the files from the internet.
RESULTS
We started this PDF data entry project in the month of April 2006 with a team of 6 people and gradually increased it to 10+. We receive around 5-6 brochures during the off season and about 15-20 brochures during the peak season. Till date we have entered approximately 14,000 descriptions.
During off-season we have 10 people out of which 7 make the entries and 3 are for the QA. During season which generally starts from January, we increase the strength of the team based on the volume of work. Currently for this season we have a team of 30 plus.
We submit around 1000-1500 descriptions during the off season and the volume increases upto 4000-5000 during the peak season.
This month the volume of descriptions for submission will be approx. 5000 descriptions.
Software
The work involved is purely data entry. Sometimes based on the requirements we use HTML coding. For the images, we have used PhotoShop to crop the images and to make it 250 pixels. The images are copied from the PDF file and pasted in the PhotoShop to do the modifications.

Usually the products will go live for a day, but during the weekends it will go live for 3 days. For these listing, we use software called as “Black Thorne” which is being given by the client. Here we add in the title of the item, the image related to that item. The HTML codes for the display page, its price and the quantity. This software has to remain open 24 hours a day. We have designed a Hologram for the products. These Holograms have to be inserted on all images before it goes live. A template with banners has been done as per the client's requirement.
