Amadeus signs eCommission Solutions as partner in development

ECS Kalypso delivers commission consolidation, recovery and reporting solution to Amadeus travel agencies

New York, June 17, 2008 – eCommission Solutions’ ECS Kalypso fully integrated commission consolidation, segment capture, tracking, dunning, recovery and reporting program has just been made available to all Amadeus subscribers. ECS Kalypso’s proprietary software captures automatically booked and manually booked hotels, cars and other NON ARC segments created in the Amadeus system.

“I immediately signed up as an ECS Kalypso subscriber because we book thousands of hotels and I estimate that at least 15% of our bookings never make it to the back office. With ECS Kalypso we’ll see an immediate return on investment,” said Jerry Lang, president of House of Travel, an Amadeus travel agency in Aventura, Florida. “We know that we’ll also see savings in administrative time because ECS Kalypso automatically uploads and consolidates commission checks that come in, so reconciliation will be much quicker and we’ll gain new reporting capabilities.”

Because ECS Kalypso completely captures significant detail on all car and hotel bookings, it delivers much greater data analysis and dramatically strengthens the travel agency position for future negotiations with vendors. ECS Kalypso both improves data integrity and increases commission recovery for travel agencies of all sizes.

"Amadeus' collaboration with eCommission Solutions reflects our ongoing commitment to deliver the best technology solutions available in the travel industry. Amadeus' partnership with solution providers like ECS ensures that a robust and complete set of technology solutions are available to improve and enhance travel agency productivity and profitability," said Edward Tie, Director Strategic Business Development for Amadeus North America.

“We have already signed several Amadeus subscribers and anticipate having the opportunity to work with many more,” said Paul Hoffmann, President and CEO of eCommission Solutions. “These days commission recovery is not a luxury, it is a necessity that every booked segment be tracked and the commissions paid. Because we have designed such an efficient program, most agencies not only pay for our services with this ‘found’ revenue, it also provides extra revenues that go straight to the bottom line.”
