International recently unveiled its latest version of FareX
- the industry’s most innovative net fares management
and distribution solution. This net fares system provides
both fares owners like airlines and travel agents with greater
convenience in distributing and retrieving fares information.
Airlines or travel agents will be able to manage, distribute
and update negotiated fares information in Abacus reservation
systems and websites, anytime, anywhere.
Currently used by more than 71 airlines sales locations and
20 wholesalers distributing locations across Asia Pacific,
FareX provides a fully integrated fares solution that is connected
to a complete suite of net fares, inventory and up-to-date
flight information.
Abacus provides a fares input service that updates and distributes
fares within 24 hours. With an end-to-end integrated solution,
fare owners are now able to manage all net fares from one
single location and distribute to both traditional and web-channels,
drastically increasing time-to-market responsiveness.
Says John Lim, Abacus director, fares and loyalty programme:
“The latest enhancements to the wholesaler module allow
travel agents to create, manage and distribute corporate-specific
fares. With automated net fares, corporate travellers will
be able to quote fares faster and with greater accuracy by
their servicing agents.”
FareX has been adapted to meet the distribution needs of fares
owners with a auto down-line update. This function allows
any changes at the fare source to be automatically filtered
down-line, without any intervention from the fares recipient.
Fare owners, including airlines and wholesalers, will be able
to make fares changes faster and in a more timely fashion.
FareX also allows airlines to control pricing levels of its
inventory for a particular flight or day.
“Travellers
know the options they have available to them. By enhancing
FareX, airlines and travel agents can now easily manage their
net fares structures, so that they can always offer the best
prices,” said Lim.
