Wizcom sees 50 percent growth in transactions
WizCom International, a provider of connectivity technologies for the hotel and car rental industries and a subsidiary of Cendant Corporation, announced record-breaking transaction volume since the onset of 2005. With a total of 207 million transactions in January 2005, WizCom provided its industry clients with an average 50 percent increase over January 2004 volume. WizCom provides its hotel and car rental clients with ‘next generation seamless’ switch connectivity to access all global distribution systems (GDS).
Galileo’s hotel and car business that went through WizCom’s switch jumped over 180 percent in Jan. 2005 (compared to Jan. 04).
WizCom’s Switch connects a supplier’s CRS to all major GDSs without the issues and costs associated with direct interfaces to each GDS separately. This service provides both hotel and car rental companies with maximum market penetration and global distribution, supplying seamless connectivity to thousands of travel agents worldwide. At the same time, WizCom’s ‘next generation seamless’ technology assists travel agents by allowing them to book the same inventory and rates that are seen by a company’s own in-house reservations staff.
