Jack Up Your Booking System!

We booked our flights on Travelwings but the booking was placed on hold [due to 'technical challenges']. I was then contacted the next day and had the booking confirmed straight away. Question: Why was the booking placed on hold, when the payment went through?! They need to jack up their booking system to have a seamless process of confirming bookings - without delay!

Reviewer Update
My previous review of travelwings refers. In consultation with Varsha this morning [she called in to clarify my review], I was informed that the hold on our booking was simply a standard procedure to allow for the passenger verification process to take its course. So, there was no 'technical challenges', but only a standard procedure that was to be fulfilled.
I therefore have to report that I am quite satisfied with the service I got up till now.
