BANANAskin

BANANAskin is a powerful Internet booking engine which was developed to front end the existing travel and stock management system operating at a number of major Australian wholesalers and booking services.

This system was designed for Retail travel agents from a number of the major retail groups, to access the wholesale products/stock managed by client systems via the Internet for quick quotations and bookings.

BANANAskin provides a fast and effective drill down search engine to quickly present only valid rates that meet the selective range and time details requested. Multiple products may be quoted or booked including Airfares, Transfers and all forms of ground based accommodation, products and services.

Artificial intelligence is applied to optimize search criteria and to maximize results returned by the search engine. If the product is what you want and the price is right, then the product enquiry may be automatically converted to a booking request, which is instantly updated through to the Wholesalers in-house travel management system where final confirmations and documentation are completed and issued.

Whilst this industry based solution was developed for the trade, ie Travel Agent access, we now also offer our retail travel industry internet based sales system with on-line eftpos payment facilities. This new capability will enable anyone surfing the net to purchase product on-line from any of our clients using BANANAskin.
