A real-world example

Will this browsing session result in a booking?

Online travel platforms convert only 2-4% of sessions into bookings. The 96-98% that don't convert represent a massive opportunity: even moving conversion from 3% to 3.5% is a 17% revenue increase. Traditional models use session-level features but miss the user journey graph: how search patterns evolve across sessions, how price sensitivity varies by trip context, and how property-user affinity signals predict intent. For an OTA with $5B in gross bookings, a 0.5% conversion lift generates $83M in incremental revenue.

How KumoRFM solves this

Graph-powered intelligence for travel and hospitality

Kumo connects users, searches, property views, bookings, and property attributes into a travel graph. The GNN learns booking intent from the full user journey: how search refinement patterns signal high intent, how price sensitivity interacts with property attributes, and which user-property pairings have the highest conversion probability. PQL predicts booking probability per session, enabling real-time personalization and targeted incentives for high-intent sessions.
