Farebase portal puts Unijet product at West Midlands Co-op’s fingertips

Tuesday, 16 Sep, 2002 0

Farebase have this week signed up West Midlands Co-op to use The Farebase Web Portal. This will enable WMCS’ consultants to make online bookings for Unijet consolidated airfares and published IATA fares.

Max Mason, Head of Sales, First Choice Independent Division commented “Unijet are delighted to be able to provide West Midlands Co-op with a choice of worldwide published and consolidated scheduled airfares through the Farebase Portal. Our product offer extends to over 70 airlines and brings worldwide fares to the fingertips of agency staff”.

The Portal will enable West Midlands Co-op travel consultants to locate the lowest fares, check availability and construct a choice of itineraries in less than a minute. As soon as the customer has made a choice, the consultant can confirm the sale. The flight will be booked and automatically queued to Unijet ready for ticketing.

Jon Constantine, Managing Director of Farebase added “The airfares market is becoming increasingly complex. Our software locates the best fares available and simultaneously validates all the rules and constructs a selection of suitable itineraries to offer to the client. This considerably speeds up the transaction and even the most skilled travel consultant, previously using a manual system, saves more than an hour of their time.” He went on to say “As part of the TelMe Online Group we know that our technology is one of the most effective in the market place.”

West Midlands Co-op is delighted to be able to offer their customers an even better service and thereby make additional sales. Geoff Hurmson, Travel Services Controller at WMCS concluded “The Farebase system has made a big difference to the way we work and the service we are able to give to our customers. We can now offer great prices and seats that are actually available and all within sixty seconds!”
