Toronto June 11th, 2010
This product will provide the Travel Agents with more choice and flexibility; thus improving the customizability of trips; while delivering a more dynamic and competitive tool to all Softvoyage customers. The new Hotel Booking Engine works just like all other Softvoyage booking engine products, querying a broad range of databases simultaneously and offering the choice of more than 100,000 hotels and resorts wordwide.
The engine allows you to choose from many options such as star rating, distance from the downtown core, proximity of major landmarks, maps of the location of each hotel and resort as well as a wide array of great rich content to help Travel Agents using Sirev or any travellers visiting a Business to Consumer (B2C) Softvoyage powered website to make an inform solid decision about their travel.
For hotels, the engine uses the latest in technology to search rates from a variety of databases including GDS systems, Hotels.com, GTAhotels.com, the land content of major Canadian tour operators with more major bed banks being added every day.
A Control Centre provides agencies the ability to set specific business and pricing rules. This feature allows Travel Agencies to payload their site as desired. Information flows through agency back-office systems, creating a ‘Super PNR and many more great tools to make the life of our customers, Travel Agencies, easier.
"All of us are really thrilled with this new product," says Steve Ringuet, Softvoyage's CEO. "This new technology has been designed for Canadian Travel Agencies to be competitive in the market place all by easing the booking process. With a few clicks, you have access to the best prices, inventory and more importantly, great margins for properties anywhere in the world. It allows Travel Agencies using this tool to be a step ahead of the competition. There are tremendous benefits for our loyal Canadian customers. Our ability to mix and match several vendors and control the display will provide our Travel Industry customers with the very best available technology available in the market place today."
