Computer reservation system for travel agents

 

 

What is Computer Reservation System?

A computer reservation system (CRS) is web-based software used by travel agencies and travel management companies to access and conduct transactions relating to air travel, hotels, car rental, and other activities. One of the most extensively utilized technologies in the travel and tourism industry is the computer reservation system (CRS). It has completely transformed the tourism industry.

CRS has made online booking and information collection simple, faster, and more effective. Travel agents can use global CRSs to make bookings directly from their terminal with any airline on all the content without negotiating a coordinating processor contract. All global CRSs include basic reservation capabilities such as product display, reservation, fare quote & ticketing, and additional services.

An online travel booking system is an essential tool for travel agencies or companies. It saves a lot of time. Online reservation systems/global distribution systems enable online booking of travel packages, airlines, hotels, and cruises.

 

The Role of Computer Reservation System In The Travel Industry

CRS - computer reservation system - connects to all providers via web services XML / API and brings availability and pricing data in real-time.  Users can search for flights, hotels, car rentals, and packages in real-time, select and make the payment and get the confirmation voucher at the same time.

The travel reservation system supports B2C - end-user modules, B2B - agent modules, B2B2B - sub-agents, and while-label. For airline inventory, it communicates with GDS systems like Amadeus, Galileo, Travelport, and Sabre. For hotel inventory, it communicates with GTA, Hotelbeds, Hotelspro, Travco, Tourico, DOTW, Bonotel, WCT, and others.

An online booking system streamlines the booking process for you and your clients by automating tasks such as collecting customer information, updating booking information, payment, scheduling, and more.

The central reservation system is compatible with all kinds of distribution systems, including GDS (global distribution system) and IDS (internet distribution/hotel distribution system). Allowing all types of customers, including individuals, agents, sub-agents, and corporations, to book online 24/7 through this single reservation system will increase sales. Agents can earn a good commission by visiting the suppliers' websites online 24/7.

It assists travel companies in storing and retrieving information and managing payments for air travel. CRS System allows customers to book hotels, tickets, transfers, tours, and other services online, lowering operating costs by decreasing the overall workforce, systems, accounting, offline ads, and many other services required to run and manage the operations of a travel agency.

A CRS is beneficial to a hotel since it allows reservations to be checked and booked with a simple search. It also helps revenue managers or front-office managers easily alter pricing based on demand for numerous distribution channels and platforms simultaneously. It functions similarly to mission control software for hotel distribution.

These solutions enable the hotel sector to handle a wide range of pricing, inventory, and distribution methods, allowing chains to fulfill their objectives. A CRS provides hotel room rates and availability for many different distribution channels such as the GDS, IBE, OTA, third-party websites, etc. The major benefit of the CRS System is that it lets you easily keep track of reservations.

A travel CRS system allows several suppliers to register and book travel services using a single reservation system. Large OTAs let vendors build their own website structure and B2C system, allowing their sub-agents to increase bookings and give commissions. Agents will have their own travel agency website for their customers.

Payment gateway integration in the CRS system enables travel agencies and online clients to book hotels and other travel services such as flights, holidays, transfers, vehicle rentals, and activities directly from the central reservation system. It allows for fast booking confirmation and generates PNR and invoices for customers and sub-agents.

Travel booking systems help travel companies reduce booking errors. Travel companies can now track and analyze bookings more effectively. A CRS can help you manage and track client bookings and reservations more efficiently. These solutions can assist you in appealing to more passengers and those who book online.
