Airlines Reporting Corp. has announced a partnership with analytical consulting firm tClara.

The move will combine ARC’s data on 4 billion ticket transactions and growing with tClara’s analytical and contextual tools to create an enhanced benchmarking tool. According to the two companies, buyers will be able to see how well their contracts have worked, why their airfares have changed over time and how much they can save by controlling underlying pricing levers. The tools also will support traveler-oriented decision-making by quantifying the impact on travelers of adjusting each pricing factor.
