ISO Travel Solutions at ITB 2017
ISO travel solutions has added the new IATA standards New Distribution Capability (NDC) and ONE order to its system solutions. In this way all ISO customers can provide flight offers and prices that are more individualized and customized than previously possible. In addition to the reservation systems, the CRM solution Emerald has also been expanded by the new opportunities that NDC offers. As one of only a few providers, ISO offers the combination of reservation system, CRM solution and revenue accounting for airlines – all from a single source. Ideal for those interested in a holistic solution for NDC and ONE order.
Pacific advanced function - particularly in the group module
ISO has extended the features of the group module of its tour operator system Pacific. Thus, special functions for group requests, offers and calculations are now available
in addition to a special quota management and a mass rebooking function. For this, inquiries for a group tour are recorded in the system and pre-qualified.
Operators can create several individual offers for the inquiries and send them to the group in a well-arranged group offer document with a detailed description of the travel itinerary.
The system calculates the prices depending on the group rate and displays them clearly arranged. In order to reduce the workload, every created offer can be turned into a booking
with just a few clicks.
New online connections for Pacific have also been created – to Enterprise Car, HBSi Hotel and Opera Web Service – and the interface to SABRE has been expanded.
Internet Booking Engines
ISO has also greatly expanded the application areas of its Internet Booking Engines (IBEs). In the last few
months, numerous projects have been carried out, in the course of which many IBEs with different characteristics
have emerged – for recreational parks, airlines, package tour operators, cruises and a specialist for a Cuba travels.
In addition to the functions fully focused on vacancy and booking, various special functions have also been created, for example an "Online Check In" page for airlines and the integration with an external Frequent Flyer system.
Another important aspect is the integration of the IBEs with various external payment service providers, while
meeting the strict PCI DSS requirements.
The IBEs are suitable for b2c as well as b2b, and are multi-lingual and multi-currency throughout.
ISO can thus build individual, customer-specific IBEs or use standardized blocks to configure IBEs in minimum time. The IBE can be incorporated into websites created by third party, or ISO can supply the complete Web page including CMS.
