I.
Aggregation & Distribution
Adventure Engine aggregates the supplier inventory
and then distributes this content through iFrame portals
or outgoing XML feeds and web services to distributors
(agents, partners, distributor network, application
interfaces, other GDS, any gear or adventure related
website, supplier’s own website, etc). Search
results can be customized and constrained to show
only suppliers, activities, &/or geographic ranges
that the agent chooses.
I.1. If
you decide on a portal
A window inset into agent website template
that displays, provides search and view ability as
well as trips sales all in your website!
It is really easy and your web master should have
no problem. We provide you with 2 lines of code to
insert into your website. Your IT pastes it into your
web template. Set up takes about 15 minutes.
The portal opens up in your template and visitors
to your site can search and buy trips with out leaving
your site.
If you want to change colors, content of your portal
you do it from your admin area - you never have to
use your Webmaster again.
I.2. Agent / Operator interface
– Net Rate Module
This module will allow agents to have a unique
login access and the ability to purchase seat inventory
at net rate amounts thus negating the need for an
upfront credit card transaction. Activity is tracked
by Adventure Engine and monthly statements prepared
for both supplier and agent. The parties then complete
their payables / receivables externally using the
Adventure Engine reporting as back up. Net rate values
can be customized for each agent as well as other
privileges such as which trips they can sell, ability
to process transfers/refunds, discounts and whether
they can view reports.
This will save your agency an enormous amount of
administrative time and expense and reduces errors
occurring during manual data transfers.

I.3. Web Services (raw
data feed used to populate your site or application)
Can populate a new “Adventure” tab in
agent dashboards / online travel websites along side
existing Air and Hotel inventory.
A user can query, or ‘call’, the Adventure
Engine database for relevant information using any
number of search parameters such as activity type
or geography. Distributors create their own interface
systems to receive AEI’s web service or can
contract Adventure Engine to create services for them
to perform calls and display. Web services give more
freedom with the design, layout and manner in which
the data is displayed on a web site or application
system. Base feeds include each of the five stages
of the search and purchase experience (1.search bar,
2.search results, 3.detailed itinerary, 4.shopping
cart and 5.check out).
Content of the webservice can include:
-Data to populate your search bar (geography, activity
type etc)
-Trip results including image and brief description,
availability, geography and price
-Itineraries including day by day descriptions, gear
required, FAQs
-In this manner your staff and users will have adequate
information to educate themselves on the trip.
Custom sequences include shopping cart and check out.

II.4. RSS Feeds
to agents and consumers to provide instant updates
on Company Tours
Adventure Engine can create RSS feeds for your organization
based on geographical destination, seat sales, latest
trips added/ edited and more. This is an excellent
addition to hard copy marketing and communication
you may be doing. Adventure Engine samples can be
viewed at http://www.adventureengine.com/feeds.php
Note: I frame portals and Web services require a
credit card payment in order to secure the booking
and adjust the seat inventory from the central AEI
database. |
