Global editions of Copa Airlines’ websites will utilize EveryMundo’s technology to provide a mobile-responsive booking experience to customers
EveryMundo, a leading provider of performance marketing solutions for the global airline industry, today announced that it has been selected to deliver its BookSMART® Response mobile booking solution to Copa Airlines, the national carrier of Panama.
Through the partnership, Copa Airlines will utilize EveryMundo’s industry-leading BookSMART® technology to deliver a mobile-responsive booking experience to users of the copaair.com website. BookSMART® is a proprietary technology that converts airlines’ Internet Booking Engines (IBEs) into an agile, flexible, mobile-responsive, and conversion-optimized infrastructure. Without the need for additional IT resources, BookSMART® also delivers back-end analytics that enable airlines to monitor mobile user interactions in real-time and gauge the effectiveness of various fares, routes, or campaigns – helping airlines increase incremental bookings and revenue over time.
Copa Airlines selected BookSMART® Response to address the growing demand among its traveler base for a mobile-optimized, device-responsive booking experience on its branded web properties. The two companies are currently in the initial stages of the BookSMART® Response implementation following the launch of the mobile technology project in April 2016. EveryMundo and Copa Airlines have also engaged in a long-term collaboration designed to boost Copa Airlines’ outcomes in search engine marketing (SEM).
“Our airline needed a fast and reliable way of offering a sophisticated mobile booking experience to our international customers, and we sought a way to provide them with an on-brand mobile experience that would be a seamless extension of what they’ve come to expect from our desktop site,” said Marco Ocando, Senior Director of Marketing & eBusiness at Copa Airlines. “Given our existing relationship with EveryMundo, we were thrilled that the BookSMART® Response mobile infrastructure was available to us and could be implemented without placing significant burdens on the bandwidth of our IT and engineering departments.”
“BookSMART® Response will be a high-value solution for Copa Airlines as it boosts its investment in serving today’s mobile-first traveler-consumers,” said Anton Diego, Founder & CEO of EveryMundo. “With a more comprehensive and mobile-responsive booking infrastructure, Copa Airlines will cultivate higher quality data, increase mobile conversion rates, and boost brand loyalty by delivering a mobile experience its customers can appreciate.”
“All of us at EveryMundo are excited to be working with Copa Airlines on this project and we are confident that BookSMART® Response will be a highly effective, successful solution for their needs,” said Diego.
In addition to BookSMART® Response, EveryMundo offers a full suite of performance marketing technology solutions and services designed to help airlines boost direct bookings, drive stronger search parity with online travel agencies (OTAs), and achieve stronger digital power with their branded web properties.
