Online Booking
Air, Hotel and Car reservations
We have chosen KDS through Travelports Galileo to bring our clients the best online booking technology in the marketplace. KDS provides the online capabilities that address traveller needs, backed by our expertise and the power and vision of the most innovative name in travel technology.
Online self-booking platforms are fast becoming a staple of the travel industry, and the technology in use is making a difference in the business travel world.
Booking online should be a process that is governed by in-house policies to help companies optimise their travel spend. The technology supports our travel consultants as they help our customers enforce these policies. KDS is a “one-stop shop” for travellers while helping the company drive down its travel budget.
The Online solution is not suitable for all companies. Therefore as well as a total online solution we can offer a combination of traditional experienced consultant service along with the online tool.
KDS offers features that provide real added value to companies and users:
- Inventory display: Comprehensive schedule and fare information for available flights and trains, with an integrated display that shows airlines, Low Cost Carriers, scheduled carriers and Eurostar on the same display.
- Booking guidance: The ‘visual guilt’ fare displays combined with our own savings reporting features can influence buying behavior, as they highlight price comparisons with the best negotiated fare, the lowest refundable fare, low cost carrier options and more.
- Approval Workflow: Critical to many companies. KDS offers a built in, fully automated approval system.
Rail
Our Internet based self-booking tool that gives you full control over your organisation's rail spend, enabling you to reduce your average ticket value by up to 30%. Once set up clients can book from their own desk for themselves or colleagues. Tickets can either be issued by our agents and sent to clients, or ticket printing machines installed at our clients offices.
Ticket on Departure and Carbon Emissions Reporting are new additions to the tool . It not only reports the environmental impact of rail journeys, but also compares the same trip using alternative modes of transport.
