| Atlanta,
GA � April 2002 � AgentWare, a
leader in Internet based travel technologies has announced that Atlas Travel
International has selected the Travel Console� to search and book web fares
for its corporate clients. Atlas Travel International, headquartered in
Milford, MA with offices in Chelmsford, MA, Lexington, MA, Hyannis, MA
and Seattle, WA plans on placing the Travel Console� on the desktops of
its travel consultants to complement fares found through traditional distribution
channels.
Rock Blanco, Chief Technology
Officer at Atlas states, �The Travel Console� is an important addition
to our technology offering, because it greatly enhances productivity when
searching web fare options for our corporate clients. Our clients want
the option to buy web fares and control travel costs, with the Travel Console�
Atlas Travel provides more fare information than is available to consumers
and corporate customers. After conducting a very thorough evaluation, we
concluded that AgentWare (www.agentware.net)
was the clear choice for Atlas Travel.�
�Atlas Travel International
is highly regarded in the agency community for its application of technology
to better serve customers,� states AgentWare CEO and Co- founder Les Ottolenghi.
�Atlas Travel International understands that customers don't care where
the lowest fares reside, they want the choice afforded by the Travel Console's
consolidated search of more than 20 web sites.�
The AgentWare Travel Console�
is a web fare search tool dedicated to enhancing the value provided by
travel agents. Travel agencies can track and report on web bookings made
via the Travel Console� through adapters to popular back-office systems.
Customer profiles and Super PNRs can be created and stored using the Travel
Console�, enabling travel agents to track customer purchases and service
transactions made with web-based vendors.
The Travel Console� also
makes consolidator fares available to travel agents providing even more
low cost alternatives to clients and an additional revenue stream to Atlas
International Travel. The Travel Console� makes pricing and booking consolidator
fares easier by providing a snap-shot of the market for specific fares,
allowing the travel consultant to offer the client the lowest price while
keeping the agency in the distribution channel at a markup for a reasonable
profit.
