We import booking details from the GDS, and provide tools that allow you easy access to your booking file information, and tools that allow you to create highly customisable and precisely targeted Push Reports.
We can also develop custom tools specifically to meet your needs. One area in which we specialise is extracting Back Office invoice data from multiple different accounting systems, into a single consolidated database, accurate at the accounts level, which allows for rapid, easy, and accurate invoice reporting, for both clients and for internal use.
Every TMC is unique, and works in a different way. The amount of checking that can be done by standard tools is very limited. In practice some degree of customisation is needed by all TMC's above a certain size.
Our charging structure is very simple. We charge a fixed fee for each unique booking file or invoice we import. We do not make any additional charges for developing custom features. We do not make any unexpected charges at all, except in special circumstances which we can tell you about in advance.
Our charging structure assumes that Amadeus and Galileo bookings will be imported from one of your PCC's or OID's. In these cases you can expect any GDS charges to be covered by your look-to-book allowances. We do have our own Amadeus and Galileo queues, but if we import from these we will need to pass on any charges that arise.
Our own queues are very useful when assessing the services we offer. They mean we can set up our service quickly and easily, with minimal work required on the TMC side.
We can do this by ensuring you identify revenue enhancing opportunities before tickets are issued, avoiding ADM's by ensuring that ticketing requirements are met precisely, reducing costs by reducing invoicing errors, and aiding client retention by allowing you to meet their data demands, however complex.
We have years of experience doing all of these things, and are very used to working closely with TMC's so we can understand their precise problems, and can solve those problems.
One common reason for not retaining large clients is being unable to meet their data related demands. Common reasons are complex reference handling requirements, or custom data handoff requirements.
We understand these type of problems very well, and we have a lot of experience in solving them, especially for large multinational clients to whom these requirements are important.
The core reason we can increase yield is because we are able to consolidate your travel data from multiple CRS's and multiple countries, and store that data in a way that makes it easy for you to create the reports you need.
Our systems can help you here.
Reducing costs for a TMC often means ensuring that client requirements are met at the time bookings are ticketed. This avoids the need for expensive post-invoice changes, with specialist admininstration staff.
Our systems can help you here, by avoiding these problems almost entirely.
To deal effectively with large Multinational clients you need to be able to handle multi-way mapping of reference field data, information from multiple countries, and often the ability to hand off precisely specified data to their own internal systems, such as SAP.
We have experience in all these areas, and can help you manage these very large clients more effectively.

If you need to create BA SMA reports, you will be very aware of just how challenging it can be to create a file meeting BA's requirements.
We can create these reports automatically, and, using Push Reports, forward them to interested parties automatically.
