ACCELERATING INNOVATION
FOR TRAVEL SPECIALISTS
Back-office
Mid-Office
Booking Engine
2 Travel Platforms
Both systems can be used by Inbound & Outbound specialists
Back-Office
Control all of your contracts, partners, markups, products, itinerary templates and packages. Add nearly unlimited markup and commission rules. Add multilingual descriptions, multiple price-plans for all products. Multiple Brands and Departments.
The system works both B2B and B2C.
Mid-Office
Integrated with the booking engine it completely automates your booking process, right from quote to booking to voucher generation. Automated bookings towards your suppliers.
Quotes & Booking Engine
Easy of use, highly scalable and flexible. Rules can be applied on the fly so as to be able to offer variable pricing. Ad Hoc Suppliers and/or Services can be added for quick quotes.
FIT & Group modules
The system comes with an intuitive FIT design module where you can setup comprehensive tailormade journeys in a matter of minutes. Calculations are done automatically.
The groups modules offer all kinds of group tour constructions.
Copying itineraries & designing Templates
Why inventing the wheel over and over again: Simply copy an existing itinerary, apply the necessary changes and get your quote out in minutes.
Templates are building blocks that consist of multiple travel components over multiple days. Add the building block in an existing itinerary in order to speed-up the design dramatically.
Operations, Finance, Reporting
Transfers, planning, reporting. Finances (Sales invoices, Receipts, Purchase invoices).
Circuit Discounts
This optional module is highly interesting in order to trigger an automated discount for independant suppliers with a rule-based engine, example:
-IF- stay is 2 nights in accommodation A -AND- 2 nights in accomodation B -AND-3 nights in accommodation C -THEN- discount all suppliers with 10%. The discount can be applied automatically for Cost prices, Sell Prices or both independantly.
When the rule is 'broken' in the itinerary, the system automatically recalculates.
Historic Rates module
This optional module can be very helpful when you are quoting in the future when certain suppliers do not have submitted contracted rates to you yet. The system then offers you the possibility to use the rates of the year before AND applies an increased markup adjustable by you.
Marketplace module
A unique functionality that increases revenue by adding a 3D dimension to your sales model.
With this functionality you can cross sell to other companies using our platform and you can buy from associated companies as well.
All without having to load content and maintain Rates!

Can we add discounts ?
You certainly can! The system handles Early Booking, Long Stay and Last Minute discounts.
New optional addition, Circuit Discounts: you can design complex rules to offer discounts from series of (independant) suppliers! Example: stay in hotel A and B and C for a number of predefined (Min/Max) nights and then calculate a discount of 10 % on all involved suppliers (either the cost, the sales or both). All done automatically in the background. If the predefined rules are broken by changing the bookings, the discount is then automatically reversed and the discounts are not applied anymore!
Allotments and Black-out dates, are these possible?
The system handles complex allotments and still allows you to request services on request. Close-outs or black-out dates can be added on the fly in order to disallow bookings in a certain period.
