National carrier Kenya Airways (KQ) has announced a partnership with Zenz Technologies for an integrated airline revenue management decision support system with capabilities for commercial planning, revenue budgeting, and forecasting.
Zenz Technologies is a Dutch company specialising in developing tailor-made decision support systems for airline revenue management departments that help them make better decisions.
”We are confident that this is the start of a long-term partnership that will support Kenya Airways’ purpose of contributing to the sustainable development of Africa,” Ward Kuipers, Zenz Technologies Founding Partner & Commercial Director.
Zenz Technologies will be responsible for implementing a revenue management system for Kenya Airways as the airline maintains optimum operations owing to the opening up of markets post-pandemic.
As a result, improved revenue management systems will assist in decision-making.
“This partnership is in line with Kenya Airways’ ambition to trail blaze innovation and customer-focused solutions. It is through this collaboration that the different stakeholders will have one source of information that will help track historical performance, forecast future demand, and set targets, “ Julius Thairu, Chief Commercial and Customer Officer, KQ.
The move comes as KQ trimmed its half-year loss to Sh9.9billion from Sh11.5billion posted in H1 2021 attributed to increased revenues.
