1.3 How does it work? Benefits of a web based application.

 

Adventure Engine is a web based application which means you don’t have to invest in expensive software. Once you enter your trip information in the central database you access your own secure administration area with a personal login code. From this area you can edit your trips, update company information and most importantly process those sales that come in by phone, fax or email.
The advantages of a web application include:

  • Ability to access your business reservations anywhere you have an internet connection
  • You don’t have to be in the office to look at revenue or see availability
  • You can have as many users as you want making bookings
  • Your business works 24/7 selling seats through your website, through your agent or remote staff access or through the sites of any distributors / agents
  • On going seamless upgrades
  • More secure

II. Selling Travel Online Saves Time, Increase Customer Service & Profits

Give your customers the option to check up to date availability and book online at their convenience
Online sales can save some businesses up to 50% in labour and administration costs. - click here to see example. Our technology makes selling from your own website really easy and our shopping carts can be set up in minutes. Customers can pay a deposit and login later to pay the balance without a call to you. When seats are sold online, inventory is automatically updated.


Adventure Engine takes the customer payment, deducts credit card and transaction fees and deposits the balance into your account.

The statistics and client comments speak for themselves. If you are not offering the convenience of checking availability and booking online to your potential customers, they are likely to move to the next web site that does.

 

III. Marketing and Distribution – How Does It Work?

Once you have entered trips and seats into the system, the information is stored in the central Adventure Engine database. From here, using the shopping portals or XML feed technology, this information can be sent out to any distributor that has the Adventure Engine booking engine (portals) on their website. These portals allow customers to search, compare and buy the type of adventure trip they are looking for. Inventory is updated automatically when a sale is made regardless of what website it was made from.
Adventure Engine suppliers can take advantage of the increasing trend of consumers using the Internet to research and purchase their adventure holidays without spending time and money establishing relationships with major distributors or advertising on sites. A distributor could also include your local accommodators that are referring customer to you and of course your own agents you currently work with. Now they can check availability and book online right away!
There is no set commission required to participate but if you do choose to offer commissions these will be automatically tracked and paid out on your behalf when a sale is made. If you set up special arrangements with a distributor you can nominate individual commissions for them.
Adventure Engine is like no other technology company because we will continue to actively expand our distribution network on behalf of our clients as well as providing them with technical and administrative solutions. Distributors want adventure travel product to sell and they are looking to Adventure Engine as their primary source to provide it.

Your customer information is owned by you and is only accessible by you using your personal login code.
