Predicting the impossible

Travel plans rarely follow a straight path. Between the global landscape, seasonal trends, personal preferences, and booking timing, plans can change right up until the last minute. The challenge lies in identifying the signs that a trip is in the works before it becomes a booking. That’s where Splio’s predictive AI comes in.

Predicting customer value after purchase

The customer journey doesn't stop at the booking

Frequently Asked Questions

Tinyclues AI is Splio's predictive AI. It enables CRM teams to anticipate travel intent before it materializes and make the right decisions by activating the right message, on the right channel, at the moment the customer is most likely to act.

Browsing behavior, destination searches, travel history, seasonality and loyalty status can all reveal intent in the making. These signals help identify not only who might travel, but also to which destination and when to intervene.

It requires going beyond segments based solely on past behavior to incorporate models capable of detecting weak signals. The goal is to predict a probability of interest rather than targeting only already-known profiles.

The Splio Predictive AI platform makes it possible to build predictive audiences and focus activations on the customers most likely to be interested in an offer, a destination or a service. Campaigns become more relevant, less dependent on volume sent, and more conversion-oriented.

To detect intent and react at the right moment, CRM teams must rely on a decisional AI such as Tinyclues AI, capable of analyzing customer signals, turning them into predictive audiences, and activating them quickly within campaigns.
