Challenge
• Webjet handles thousands of hotel
bookings every day that pass through
multiple operators. The high volume
of transactions and number of parties
involved in each transaction can lead
to discrepancies.
• Booking errors negatively affect customers’
experiences and undermine trust between
Webjet and its partners, and can also have
serious financial consequences.
Strategy
• Webjet and Microsoft
developed a first-of-a-kind
blockchain solution.
• The solution creates secure,
independent transaction
records that all parties can
see. Known as ‘Smart
Contracts, they streamlining
the booking and payment
process, and reducing errors.
Results
• The use of blockchain removes the risk of data
inaccuracy, boosts security and efficiency, and
enhances trust and accountability between
Webjet and its partners.
• The solution gives Webjet a competitive edge
and could set a new industry standard.
• Webjet has an exciting opportunity to grow
by facilitating transactions across the travel
industry and selling its solution into other
sectors.
“Microsoft’s ongoing investments in building the industry’s most trusted cloud platform around the principles of security,
privacy and control, compliance and transparency, along with its deep heritage in guiding businesses, including Webjet,
through periods of significant IT transformation made the decision to go on this journey with Microsoft a no-brainer.”
