Blue Dymension
expanded Travel New York's website functionality
to allow flights, car-hire, tours and hotels
online bookings via a public, agency and
corporate ecommerce websites.
An important element and foundation
of the new e-business solution delivered
was the Blue Core messaging system. With
its flexability it was fully integrated
with a number of APIs including Transfirst
Merchant API, Data On Call (e-fax) API and
with content from both the Pegasus Pegs
Tour XML API and the Sabre Webservices API.
The Pegasus' Pegs Tour XML
API allows for direct connection with hotels
CRSs for contract rates and instant booking
to the hotels' CRS, whle Sabres' Web Services
XML API integrated according to Online Travel
Alliance (OTA) standards allow for real
time direct searching and booking of flights,
cars and GDS hotel rates.
Blue Dymension's Content Management,
Customer Relationship and Marketing module
within its Control Management System was
also integrated to allow staff at Online
Travel Concierge to fully manage the new
websites, direct email marketing, customer
relationship all via one user-friendly web
interface.
Blue Dymension's Reservation
System module (also accessed by the one
Control Panel) now allows staff to conduct
call centre bookings while managing contracted
hotel and activity inventory, management
of bookings from either contracted or Sabre
or Pegasus products and reporting.
The e-Portal functionality
gives the new websites depth allowing advanced
searches, customer membership for booking
history and changes, customer email alerts,
wish lists, itinerary lead booking and more.
With the new integrated third
