Product Description

EnCoRRe^™ Service Bureau

The EnCoRRe Service Bureau provides an efficient and effective plan to successfully implement a universal mid-office quality assurance solution to enhance the file finishing of all PNRs generated by the User world-wide, regardless of GDS used. The system is designed to be scaleable enough to accommodate an implementation of any size.

Utilization of a Service Bureau and TTG’s staff of trained mid-office experts, means there would be no need for the User staff and train personnel to execute software implementation at multiple regional sites. The exact same set of routines being run on all User’s PNRs, there can be a single uniform standard of reservation finishing delivered to all User’s clients. Having all PNRs in a centralized location also provides User a complete source for data mining to maximize vendor usage, identify savings opportunities, and more. Reports breaking out data will be available via the Internet, giving User’s managers access to this data at any time. Ramp-up time is no longer an issue, as users can take advantage of numerous routines already available in the system.

EnCoRRe’s powerful Oracle database allows the mid-office quality assurance system to work on all major GDSs simultaneously. EnCoRRe can take a single set of business rules and apply them to reservations booked by multiple travel agencies, across the globe. This advanced functionality provides large, multi-national corporations and major travel agencies with the potential to reap significant savings in travel through universal policy-compliant testing of PNRs and maximized efficiency in mid-office.

EnCoRRe is an “ultimately configurable” enterprise solution to current mid-office issues. Data generated by EnCoRRe routines provides global corporations with a unified and consistent service for back-office usage and reconciliation. The strength offered by the system’s Oracle database also provides a handy and accessible data depository for agencies and corporations.

EnCoRRe performs virtually all CRS processes, including file finishing and ticketing. From a skeleton reservation it will perform all the necessary functions normally done by a travel agent. EnCoRRe shall handle remarks, reporting information, exception rules, internal and external customer documentation, and more. The system can also schedule ticketing and complete that process. It is designed to work directly with an automated booking system to communicate any issues that come up directly to the traveler via E-mail, fax, or PDA device, and run the tickets accordingly, thus creating a totally automated environment.

Reporting

EnCoRRe will generate web-based reports to aid both clients and managers. Using Business Objects software, these reports will be the result of the finest mid-office data mining available in the travel industry today. EnCoRRe will be able to provide:

•

Ad-hoc reporting

•

A high-security standard

•

Automatic scheduling of reports

•

Automatic publishing and distribution of reports

•

Customization to accommodate any client

•

Graphing

•

Branching by division and sub-division

Product Description

CRS Screen Highlighter with ResNotes^™

CRS Screen Highlighter^® with ResNotes is a utility loaded on the GDS LAN or stand alone PC, which allows the travel agency to designate colorful, attention-grabbing attributes and special messages to passenger name records (PNRs) and traveler profiles. Highlighter can help assure that important quality control messages and traveler profile information are never again ignored or overlooked by busy travel agents. Some capabilities of the system are:

•

Identifies CEO, VIP, and frequent flyer numbers

•

Calls attention to “last day to purchase” fares

•

Highlights penalties and restrictions

•

Can keep track of travelers who have saved non-refundable tickets

•

Reminds agents of visa requirements

PNR messages from supervisory or support personnel as well as messages from manual or automated quality control sources such as the EnCoRRe system can be highlighted for special notice and action!

Highlighter runs on all Windows-based GDS. The program contains a library of highlights, which can be edited or deleted as the user elects. New highlights are added using a “point & click” set-up program and assisted by onscreen “help” balloons. The user can select from a library of sound (WAV) files, color options, fonts-and attributes supported by their Windows environment. The system provides weekly suggestions for effective use.

Highlighter is takes up a small amount of memory on the PC file server and should not slow down “screen refresh” or response time. The program enables features to be turned off for particular travel counselors as needed.

ResNotes allow the user to “tag” complete messages to the GDS text for customer service advice, proprietary rate and fare information or additional product or support information.

Highlights or ResNotes messages can be added or changed by supervisory personnel from any workstation. Customer service staff can also input information that can be accessed instantly and automatically by the travel counselor at the time a reservation is being made.

INSTALLATION REQUIREMENTS:

The following items should be present and ready at customer site prior to arrival of the TTG installer:

•

At least one AT (80386 or preferably 80486) class IBM compatible PC or an operational GDS-supplied LAN made up of IBM compatible PCs which meets the following minimum criteria:

•

8MB Ram

•

Windows 3.1 or Windows for Workgroups installed.

•

One high density floppy disk drive, either 3.5” or 5.25” (must be specified)

•

Minimum 40MB free file server disk space

•

Color graphics monitor

Product Description

InfoLink^™

The primary function of this product is to be able to share / copy / etc. files (primarily CRS Screen Highlighter^® files) over TCP/IP connections to the Internet.

InfoLink capabilities and features include:

•

Allows the user/travel manager to update Highlighter files and then automatically transfer them to all their users via the Internet. This will allow adds and updates which will synchronize files at the counselor level.

•

The receptacle for all the file information (the Server) can be hosted at TTG or maintained at the user/travel manager’s pre-determined location.

•

When a company administrator (example: one machine at a User agency location) has been assigned, they will make the file adds/updates and set up groups of users who have rights to get those files. This information goes to the Server (at TTG or other host site) via the Internet.

•

The end users (example: the Highlighter 4 Admin machines at various locations) will automatically call or “poll” the Server (at TTG or other host site) via the Internet. Once access is gained, they can see if there are adds/updates that they have rights to, collect those files, and put them in the correct shared directory.

•

At this point, counselor sets will look to the Highlighter 4 Admin’s machine for any highlight updates they have been given rights to get.

INSTALLATION INFORMATION & REQUIREMENTS:

The minimum system hardware and software requirements for InfoLink include:

•

Intel Pentium or compatible running at 60 MHz or more

•

VGA compatible display (16 colors or more)

•

16 MB of free hard disk space

•

16 MB of RAM

•

One 3.5 inch floppy drive and/or a CD ROM drive (for installation)

•

Windows 95 or Windows 98

•

A mouse or other pointing device

•

Internet connectivity (access to The Internet)

This requires a non dial-up connection to the Internet using TCP/IP protocol. If a firewall exists, port 1088 and port 1090 must be open unrestricted. A later version will not have the restriction of ports 1088 and 1090.

DESCRIPTION OF RESX SERVICES

The RESX online booking engine is a fully-automated online travel information and reservation system that gives travelers quick and easy access to the information and tools they need to complete their own travel itineraries using a desktop PC or laptop.

Air, hotel, rail, and car rental bookings can be completed with a simple point and click reservation process.

Built on the .NET technology platform RESX has an open-architecture that allows for fast and simple integration to expense management systems and back office reconciliation systems.

The RESX booking engine was developed for the travel agency distribution model and all administration capabilities are intuitive to the user. With proper training distributors of the product can easily provide all first level support and customer service for their clients.
