E-reservation module
Helping you sell fixed, dynamic and flexible packages
TourWeb has the components to build on-line booking solutions which are fully integrated with your back office reservation system. Not only is TourWeb capable of handling pre-packaged tours, it also supports 'dynamic packaging'. Dynamic packaging is about assembling available travel components into single priced itineraries.
An upcoming trend is flex packaging. In this scenario the tour operator provides it's expertise in pre-defined packages. The customer selects an appropriate package and can adjust or extend it with additional services.
TourWeb will allow you to sell:
- your own accommodations, services or packages
- services and flights from third party suppliers together with your own accommodations, services and packages etc.
- accommodations, services or packages from other operators, and
- modify and extend pre-defined packages.
Back-office data integration
Our integration methods allow you to 'pull' together the different systems in your organization, even the incongruent data in each system. We utilize the business logic like price reduction rules, occupancy restrictions and so on. We integrate your web bookings form with your reservation system; hence the availability that your customers see is real time.
Dynamic sourcing and packaging
As part of our online booking services TourWeb offers you the opportunity to link your website directly to other systems using XML technology. This allows your web visitor to access flights, accommodations and other product suppliers, all over the world, for up-to-the-minute availability and latest rates in a process that makes it seem as though the inventory is your own. We are able to arrange the automatic confirmation on your supplier's systems. Some of our clients, who have their own stock, use this technology in reverse to sell their own products through other travel companies and via web portals.
The ultimate solution
So it is easy to allow other holiday companies to sell your services, or incorporate the services provided by others on your website. Such cross selling means a better experience for the customer, and more profit opportunities for you. We facilitate this via XML-feeds and web services to 3rd party websites.
Open up with web services
The way to open up your system for partners or access other service provider systems is to use web services. The term web service describes a way of exposing your business logic and data using XML and SOAP over the internet. This, in simple terms, means a way for businesses to communicate with each other and with clients. The clever part of web services is that it allows organizations to communicate without intimate knowledge of each other's IT systems. Whether you want to provide your own services to others or consume the services from third parties, web services allow you to plug in to the online market without the need to expose your internal systems.
