The Challenge
Skyline Eco-Adventures, a large travel company with multiple offices, was facing a challenge in tracking and optimizing their marketing initiatives. They were spending a significant amount on marketing with the primary goal of translating these initiatives into booked reservations and revenue. The company was trying to capture every touch point in the customer journey and attribute those specific touch points back to a client reservation. However, they were struggling to measure both online and offline initiatives and identify exactly where their customers were coming from. This was crucial for them to measure and optimize campaign spend based on performance. They also had to deal with different attribution models based on where the guest started in the sales funnel, making it difficult to target guests in various phases.
About The Customer
Skyline Eco-Adventures is the United States’ first zipline company, founded in 2002 on Maui, Hawaii, by father and son, Buck and Danny Boren. Skyline’s first location, the Haleakala Skyline Tour, is located on Historic Haleakala Ranch in beautiful upcountry Maui. As a large travel company with multiple offices, they strive to use the latest tools and technology to track, measure, and optimize every dollar spent on their marketing initiatives. They aim to capture every single touch point in the customer journey and attribute those specific touch points back to a client reservation.
The Solution
Skyline Eco-Adventures started using CallTrackingMetrics (CTM) in their reservation center, creating standard operating procedures where reservation agents score the calls and enter a revenue amount right inside the call log. This allowed them to track revenue on a call-by-call basis and attribute revenue to the total return on marketing and advertising spend each month. They assigned specific tracking numbers to each ad and campaign across all offices, enabling them to know whether a customer clicked their ad and went to the website, called them from a static ad, and whether they actually booked a reservation. This process allowed them to adjust acquisition costs across channels by aggregating both the online booking revenue and the offline call-to-book revenue. They also moved past marketing attribution and into a phone system by switching to CTM’s Softphone, integrating the phone system itself and the call tracking platform for their reservation agents.

Predictive Maintenance for Industrial Chillers
For global leaders in the industrial chiller manufacturing, reliability of the entire production process is of the utmost importance. Chillers are refrigeration systems that produce ice water to provide cooling for a process or industrial application. One of those leaders sought a way to respond to asset performance issues, even before they occur. The intelligence to guarantee maximum reliability of cooling devices is embedded (pre-alarming). A pre-alarming phase means that the cooling device still works, but symptoms may appear, telling manufacturers that a failure is likely to occur in the near future. Chillers who are not internet connected at that moment, provide little insight in this pre-alarming phase.
