Travel agents can now access the same unrivalled content and functionality as Travelport Smartpoint, on the go with Travelport Mobile Agent and at home with TTS Web Agent.
(TRAVPR.COM) PORTUGAL - May 25th, 2015. TTS, Travel Technology and Solutions, a leading global player in the development of innovative solutions for the travel and tourism industry, has now incorporated Travelport’s industry-leading merchandising solution, Travelport Rich Content and Branding into Travelport Mobile Agent and TTS Web Agent.
The technology gives travel agents the ability to access the full offering of over 100 participating airlines, via graphically rich images and descriptions on the go, using a mobile device with Travelport Mobile Agent and at home on laptops or desktops with TTS Web Agent. It means that travel agents can now access the same content and enjoy the same experience they would at the office with Travelport Smartpoint. This includes access, for example, to all available branded fares and ancillaries, making it easy for them to quickly compare the full value of an airline’s offering.
Having the flexibility to access this content and functionality remotely, means travel agents can offer their customers the most comprehensive service possible, allowing them to sell more effectively and grow revenues.
Jason Clarke, Managing Director - Agency Commerce at Travelport commented: “TTS and Travelport are working closely to change the way travel agencies search, sell and book airline content for their customers. By adding Rich Content and Branding to Travelport Mobile Agent and TTS Web Agent, we can offer a more comprehensive and graphical display of the airline’s overall offering, allowing agents to better communicate the benefits of each option to their customers and allowing them to sell more effectively even when out of the office.”
TTS is the first 3rd party Travelport developer to include this new technology in its solutions. Susana Gonçalves, Product Manager at TTS explains: “As a technology company, we are highly focused in innovation and follow the latest news and trends. This allows us to keep improving our solutions and provide our clients with tools that truly fit their needs, help them to increase productivity and provide a great service to their customers. So when Travelport announced Rich Content and Branding, we immediately knew that we had to have this technology in our solutions.”
