TelMe Launch Two Exclusive Products For Global Star Travel Management
TelMe Farebase, a global leader in travel technology and airfare manipulation today announces the launch of ProfileStar and FareStar, both technology products dfeveloped for GlobalStar Travel Management.
FareStar is a groundbreaking development that will allow agents to search fare databases in any country, and any GDS. This will allow GlobalStar Travel Management clients to benefit from the different IATA rules around the world, as well as any discrepancies between the different GDS. GlobalStar members can also search ‘GDS special’* fares from each of the four major GDS in preparation for further GDS deregulation around the world.
ProfileStar will allow GlobalStar clients to enter and amend their travel profiles 24 hours a day, and from anywhere in the world. ProfileStar will automatically update any of the four major GDS as well as integrated online booking tools. This will save the travel agents time re-keying the information as well as improving accuracy and removing any time delays for travellers. GlobalStar plan to use this tool to ensure a continuity of service across the globe regardless of the members GDS or other technology platforms. ProfileStar has been developed in association with Ultramar Travel of New York, USA, and is based on their successful TravelSync product.
Peter Muller, Managing Director of TelMe said “we are proud of our association with GlobalStar and of the products we have developed. FareStar in particular has proved to be very complex, but will deliver considerable benefits over the long term and is a ‘world first’ in terms of global connectivity of the four major GDS and multiple country searches. The ProfileStar project has been a joint venture, and our first partnering deal in the USA, we have learned a lot from the experience and look forward to many other similar deals in the future”.
