the experts in business travel


One of the biggest dilemmas facing business travel agencies today is how to win more business and increase margin as clients increasingly use the web. While business clients are becoming increasingly familiar with booking their travel online, travel agents without the IT budget to offer their clients a custom solution are often stuck at a competitive disadvantage.

So how do you reconcile these seemingly contradictory needs? The answer lies in the availability of new e-Portal solutions - designed specifically for travel agencies forced to invest in genuine customer service rather than information technology. And this is the challenge that Quick e-Portal meets.

Quick e-Portal allows you to easily create and maintain business travel solutions matched to each of your client's needs with an absolutely minimal Information Technology investment, yet delivering a real added value benefit to you and your clients.

Corporate travel managers are expected to demonstrate that they have continuous cost-reduction programmes in place and increasing use of the web is a given. If the business travel agent does not facilitate this for them, then they will do it directly, with the agent forgoing easily available commissions.

Promoting every aspect of travel policy at the time of booking
Promoting preferred hotels anywhere in the world
