TELME FAREBASE SEES BIG INCREASE IN CORPORATE TRAVELLER SALES
Airfares distribution specialist, TelMe Farebase is reporting a big uptake of its Corporate Traveller Product from business travel agents across the board.
Corporate Traveller is a management and booking tool for business travel managers within a corporate environment. It allows business travel agents to view and book published fares, agent net fares, client net fares, third party consolidator fares, low cost and charter flights all on one screen. This is all carried out in a fully ‘managed’ environment and the system delivers full travel management information including traveller profiles, staff travel policies, airlines deals, route deals, fare deals and individual or group criteria. It will also build itineraries, records cost centre codes, purchase order numbers and reasons for travel. Management information reports and pre and post trip information are also provided.
Corporate Traveller can have the complete look and feel of the host agent or simply modified to include the client’s logo or can be completely client branded.
Recent signings for Corporate Traveller have included: Executive and Business Travel in Jersey, Eton Travel, Munros’s Travel in Scotland and Hatch Ferguson in London.
Amanda Cottle, Sales & Marketing Manager, Executive & Business Travel, commented, ”Corporate Traveller has enabled us to expand the services we offer to our clients. From blue chip tendering to individual corporate servicing we now have the tools to meet everyone’s needs.”
TelMe believes that this increased demand is partly as a consequence of the impending withdrawal of the British Airways ‘yourtravelmanager.com’ booking engine at the end of August 2005. This B.A. subsidised system was sold to business travel agents cheaply. The site had B.A. branding and agents were unable to remove B.A. from flight listings, regardless of the client’s travel policy.
TelMe Farebase Managing Director, Peter Muller, concluded, “Agents are becoming wary of relying suppliers’ ‘restricted’ technology. They realise that this can be a false economy. Their booking tools need to be flexible and reliable. Investing in the best independent technology makes good business sense and is generating a real return on investment.”
