How Spark Has Improved Efficiency For Journeys With Purpose
Case Study
About Journeys With Purpose
Journeys With Purpose was born from a simple idea: That travel can be a powerful force for good. We wanted to create trips that don’t just show people the world, but help protect it too. Our journeys connect travellers with inspiring conservationists, local communities, and wild places, offering experiences that are both life-changing and impactful. What started as a passion project has grown into a business dedicated to creating meaningful adventures that give back to the planet.
The Challenge
For a specialist travel company like Journeys With Purpose, having the right tools is essential and a software that is tailored to their needs is paramount.
Before Spark, one of the biggest challenges JWP faced was working across multiple, disconnected systems that took up time and had a high risk of error.
“We were managing availability, pricing updates, and client communications separately - often using spreadsheets, PDFs, and manual emails to keep everything aligned. Whenever a client requested a change or an itinerary needed to be updated, we’d have to go back and forth between different systems to make sure everything matched up.”
Whilst growing the company, the team realised they needed a more integrated approach that could adapt to their needs and keep everyone on the same page. The key requirements were:
Keep information organised and consistent across different platforms
Reduce time spent on itinerary updates and version control
Improve collaboration across the team
Connect tools and systems seamlessly
The Solution: Journeys With Purpose x Spark
After evaluating their needs, Journeys With Purpose implemented a carefully selected set of digital tools, creating an integrated digital ecosystem that improves both customer experience and internal efficiency.
