Conventional Railways
Meet today’s demand with tomorrow’s technology; The Amadeus Rail Online Gateway, a standardised multi-channel gateway.
Railways need an integrated solution that will ensure travel sellers use automation thus reducing costs and improving efficiency and reach. The Amadeus Rail Online Gateway offers a fully integrated platform with graphical user interfaces (timetables and fares) and ticketing on departure to make the sales process simpler. Full integration gives the opportunity to cross sell rail with air, hotels, car rental and travel insurance, providing railways with a more complete packaging offer that can also service direct distribution channels such as call-centre, your website and connection to third parties. With our consultancy approach we will walk you through the different options that will match your business goals.
What will Amadeus Rail do for your business?
Opening new distribution channels and therefore new customers
- From one gateway you have cost effective exposure to many more customers segments (online, corporate and travel agencies) via your choice of travel distribution channel
- You will benefit from the Amadeus Rail multi-channel distribution network (traditional travel agencies, travel management call centres, online travel agencies, tour operator platforms, your own call centres, your website ... ) without having to develop your own solution each time
Distribute Internationally
- An instantly improved distribution strategy because of Amadeus' international distribution network
- Local support means that in each market you distribute in, the travel seller will know who you are and know how to book and ticket your services
Generate more revenues/reduce costs
- Extended sales leverage thanks to new cross-selling opportunities (airlines, hotel, car rental and insurance), you sell rail as part of the trip
- No need to retrain on different systems – the sales process, back office and front office is a standard and can be used for your sales agents in the call centre just like the travel seller so you can manage the selling process better
