Integrated Booking Engine Framework
The integrated booking engine framework enables search and booking of multiple travel products such as Airlines, Hotels, Cruises, Ground Transportations, Packages, and Ancillary Services. This Travel 2.0 framework supports intuitive search, product comparison, maps, GIS, videos, images, reviews, ratings, weather forecasts, dynamic packaging, super PNR, shopping cart, etc. Our framework, clubbed with our understanding of travellers’ buying behaviour, enables us to provide an Optimized Reservation Path which provides a discerning and highly imaginative shopping experience – thereby converting the window shopper into a customer and an improved look to book.
Social Media Framework
Social media is the hottest trend in the travel industry. Travellers’ reviews, photos, trip planning and sharing, and blogging are all influencing how travellers connect to and interact with suppliers, products and services.
We understand this space and have our own solution framework and associated services to help travel companies achieve their social media objectives. Our Social Media Framework, seamlessly integrated with Booking Engine Framework, enables travel companies to extend their website and web-applications into social networks (Facebook, Twitter, etc) as an application thereby increasing user engagement with the brand.
