FinalQuadrant unveiled it’s a new functionality “Inward Loading” for its existing complete ERP system, SuiteCase
Every travel agency face problems while connecting to its travel suppliers whether it is for uploading contracts or managing the complex contracts from these hotel suppliers. Previously the travel agency used to get the contracts from the hotel suppliers then upload and feed the contracts into the systems themselves. The process was time consuming and causing various errors.
Final Quadrant came up with a new web-based solution called “Inward Loading” for the travel companies who were using FQ system SuiteCase. The new solution enabled the hotel suppliers to upload the contacts on their own. This revolutionary functionality also facilitated the supplier to increase or decrease the availability of the hotel rooms thus easing the work load of the travel company. Communication was far more easier and effective now making the booking process easier, faster and more efficient.
* Hotel Consolidators/suppliers are companies that buy--or contract to buy--major blocks of airline seats or hotel rooms cheaply far in advance. Or they have access to a surplus inventory of deeply discounted tickets and hotel rooms that they are free to sell at slightly marked-up prices.
