Amadeus launches online Solution Finder tool to help U.S. travel agencies find the right fit for their business
Travel agencies can use new online tool to find the best Amadeus technology solutions in just four easy steps
Amadeus Solution Finder is designed for traditional travel agencies who seek distribution and travel technology solutions, especially smaller, home-based or start-up agencies looking to sell more, make more and do what they do best—sell travel—without many of the headaches associated with agency ownership.
"Amadeus has maintained its strong commitment to developing industry-leading technologies that help travel agencies," said Bob Lowry, Senior Vice President of Products and Support for Amadeus North America. “Amadeus Solution Finder makes it easier and quicker for a prospective travel agency customer to search for and purchase a customized Amadeus solution that will help them continue to build and grow their business.”
Once the user accesses the Solution Finder Web page at www.us.amadeus.com/solutionfinder, he or she will be prompted to answer five brief questions including agency’s size, customers and business needs. Once the questionnaire is completed, the tool identifies the most appropriate Amadeus solution based on that agency’s profile. Solution Finder also allows the travel agency to further customize their package with additional products before making a decision to purchase online or be contacted by an Amadeus sales representative to finalize the transaction.
Based on Amadeus’ vast experience in serving the technology needs of travel agencies, the company has categorized its agency offerings into the following five packages of varying size and features:
- Amadeus Mobility Package (formerly Agenta Basic Pack) – hosted solution designed for an agency to transfer traditional ticket fulfillment and operations and allowing the agency to focus on selling more travel
- Amadeus Professional Package (formerly Agenta) – hosted solution with all the features, content and marketing strengths of the popular Agenta solution that streamlines or even eliminates back-office functions, administrative tasks and costly overhead
- Amadeus Professional Plus Package – based on the Amadeus Selling Platform, this browser-based, point-of-sale platform is designed to help agency owners focus on selling travel and customer relationships, rather than just making bookings
- Amadeus Leisure Specialist – Carefully tailored for the leisure travel agency, this package is equipped with the widest range of leisure travel content possible to maximize customer expectations
- Amadeus Business Specialist – Specifically designed to help business travel-focused agencies to access the content that business customers need and to be more effective in growing customer bookings
