## Article

The entire industry stares at search and booking. Steve Singh looks past it. According to [Skift's preview of the Skift Global Forum](https://skift.com/2026/09/19/skift-global-forum-preview-spotnana-ceo-after-booking-servicing/), the Spotnana CEO will argue that the money sits in what happens **after the reservation is confirmed**, and his company's AI already handles cancellations and refunds.

His number: **servicing costs can fall by half**. That is not a cosmetic improvement. It is the line item every operations director knows is bleeding quietly while nobody wants to touch it.

My reading is straightforward. We have spent a decade optimizing the front door and forgot the hallway inside. Cancellations, refunds, changes, disputes. That is where guests get angry and where hotels and agencies burn hours. Singh will make the case in public. The rest of us should be taking notes.
