Challenge

Gogo was using a proprietary SaaS application to support its product catalog, which presents products to travelers while in flight. The system they were using was not able to accommodate their need to scale up into new markets and enhance their product catalog. For example, they wanted to create personalized pricing offers for passengers dependent on their frequency of use, duration of the fight, speed of broadband, etc. The legacy system was extremely expensive, but they were not seeing a return on investment as the product was inhibiting business growth and goals for future opportunities.

The new solution provides a platform to support all existing functionality and replace the legacy system. The solution is highly scalable and allows Gogo to easily expand and update  their product catalog as the market’s growth requires them to do so.
