Keep your client and their business safe and on the go!

These days, considering the new way of living as the ‘new normal’ might not be the right way to say it. A pandemic, mixed with an economic collapse, is an unprecedented situation that forces each country to take (or even avoid taking) whatever measures that seem to work, at least on the short run. From closing borders, to cancelling flights, to refusing certain business flows, to changing all of these from 1 week to another, the governments’ focus this year is keeping their inhabitants and their economy safe and risk-free.

Time has come when business dimensions are shrinking, people are sent home until further notice and HQ calculate forecasts that allow them to survive with minimum human resources.

The very beginning

‘When I founded dcs plus, 14 years ago, with no employees and with no capital, I could hardly foresee a growth to an international company with hundreds of customers in over 45 markets and with a staff of over 70 people. We could not have come this far without the loyal support, dedication and hard work of each member of our team and without the trust and confidence of our partners and customers.

I remember the days when we couldn’t even dream to ‘conquer’ the world, but when, with unbridled ambition started to ‘build’… However, we knew that there was no sector in the modern economy that could remain impassive to technology; more than that, we were very confident that we could build and create value
through technology solutions in an extremely dynamic industry, that was global by its nature. That thought brought us an incredibly pleasant and motivating feeling; it offered us so much diligence and courage that we took on challenges and rose to them with an unbelievable enthusiasm.’

There are times it seems the travel industry should take a cue from its customers; go to some quiet place and just relax for a long time without reading anything about travel (except this blog, of course) or talking to anyone in the business.

During the past decade it has certainly seemed to be the case that disruption has been experienced to a far greater degree on the leisure side of travel rather than business side. Leisure travel has been impacted by OTA and witnessed the role of the travel agent - though still a force now – reduced in decision-making influence to that of friends, family and social media.
