Linkway® Travel - Affordable Performance and Power
Linkway® Travel is new, exciting and Internet-enabled. Linkway® Travel is a complete Travel Agents' Reservations, Accounting and Inventory Control system that provides an integrated management tool for all aspects of Travel Agency Operations.
The advent of interactive computer technologies provides today's Travel Agent with many challenges. Faced with new competition from dot.com operations and from sectors that were previously industry partners, successful agencies are turning to Linkway® Travel to combat this growing threat to their businesses.
Linkway® Travel is a Travel Agency application that provides an integrated solution for Retail, Business House, Consolidation and Tours users. Network or Internet based, Linkway® Travel delivers outstanding performance with the power, resilience and stability of the world's most powerful and popular database servers - the hp e3000 or Microsoft SQLServer.
The Travel market is ultra-competitive and the obstacles and challenges to success are many. Linkway® Travel is the application that really allows the Travel Agent to manage his business efficiently. Through business efficiency, the Travel Agent can provide the added-value elements that discerning clients require.
Linkway® Travel was designed to make Travel Agents more profitable. From the outset it was designed to address areas where Travel Agents believed they needed the best computer support for their businesses. In essence, the Travel Agent wants to spend more time with Clients and less time on administration and office management issues. The Travel Agent needs to optimise his revenue earning time while minimising the necessary, but costly aspects of running a business.
The pace of change within the IT industry presents its own challenges to business. Many systems fail to deliver a modern solution and remain inflexible to change. But not Linkway® Travel. Its uniquely dynamic evolutionary development environment ensures that Linkway® Travel is continually improving and challenging the bounds of technological advancement. A dynamic revolutionary Web-engine allows the Travel Agent to extend his area of expertise to help satisfy the needs of even the most demanding of clients.
Linkway® Travel is truly innovative because it seeks to optimise the significant investments that Travel Agents have already made in Information Technology. That is why Linkway® Travel has been designed to be totally independent of existing Financial Accounting Systems, Word Processors, Spreadsheets, Reporting Tools and E-mail Packages.
The system maintains complete Customer, Supplier and Booking databases. Itineraries, Tickets (Consolidators), Receipts (ATOL and ATOL-to-ATOL) and Invoices can be produced on demand. A fully auditable trail of Sales and Purchase Ledger transactions can be exported to the Financial Application of your choice.
The system has been designed to be easy to use and provide the versatility needed to manage the many information elements that comprise the travel agency business. The system has a host of fixed and variable parameters that will allow you unprecedented freedom to manage your business.
Linkway® Travel is built in a modular fashion to give you the degree of flexibility you would expect from a modern system. These modules include Package Tours; Insurance; Flights, with Flight Stock, including Consolidator, Gross and Nett Fares facilities; Accommodation, with Accommodation stock, plus facilities for many other bookings, for example, in the areas of Car Hire, Car Parking, Currency, Transport, Transfers and others.
The system is designed to comply with all ABTA, IATA, CAA, ATOL and TOMS reports and documentation regulations.
Linkway® Travel is intended to be the complete travel agency system and has the necessary interfaces to GDS systems such as Amadeus, Galileo, Sabre and Worldspan for ticketing upload.
Flexibility in reporting is key to any management style. With over 100 reports available with the system, Linkway® Travel ensures that you have the necessary management information at your fingertips. A truly extensive set of reports can be run at any time of your choosing and ad-hoc reporting facilities allow you to create reports through simple 'point and click' routines that are available to screen or paper output at any time of your choice.
Linkway® Travel has been designed using 'Open Database' technology, which ensures that all data is accessible through a wide range of third party tools and applications.
