EMPOWERING ONLINE TRAVEL
One of the challenges of managing a centralized reservations system technology is to maintain a certain level of relevant content from all disciplines of travel such as air, car, hotel, and vacation packages. Given that fragmentation of supplier content as well as consumer buying patterns is an inevitable and desirable trend in the travel industry, the challenge of publishing and making content available through the internet is very real.
In response to this challenge, Convergentware has introduced a product called Convergent Publisher. This product enables travel intermediaries such as Travel Agencies, tour operators and consolidators to sell their own specialized content to consumers (B2C) or other travel intermediaries (B2B) in an FIT environment (i.e. product by product) or in a dynamically packaged environment (i.e. products and/or pricing are bundled together)
Convergent Publisher is a contract, content, and inventory management database product with electronic publishing capabilities. Popular content modules within Convergent Publisher include air, hotel, car, cruise, tour, tourism, excursions, and adventure.
Content that is procured within Convergent Publisher is automatically available for viewing within the rest of Convergentware’s technology such as Convergent Online and Convergent Professional.
With Convergent Publisher, Convergentware is positioning itself as an enabling technology that allows its customers to take control of the content that they want to search, integrate and book within their centralized reservations system. Convergent Publisher enables the Convergent CRS Gateway to be the leading customizable centralized reservations system for travel intermediaries.
