Customizations
Is there a feature you need we don't have?
Looking for additional functions?
Have a database already but want the distribution capacity?
We can customize Adventure Engine to your needs with different builds, interfaces, feeds and more.

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
  

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.

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.

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.
If you are a large operator with a sophisticated existing network of partners, agents and distributor channels check out our TRAVEL CONNECT 2.0 networking and interface solutions. Let Adventure Engine manage all your partner interfaces with just one feed.

The Adventure Engine system uses 128 bit encryption (like a bank) and backs up its data every 60 seconds so all of your customer information is safe. You can download all reports and data to your system. But, if your computer crashes don’t worry as your data is safe on Adventure Engine. Your customer information is owned by you and is only accessible by you using your personal login code. Our checkout is compliant with all credit card companies' international security requirements.

The realm of online travel distribution and travel agent service if dramatically shifting.
Items that gives you an edge from your competitors are absolutely critical in this day and age!
Air, cruise and accommodation are increasingly being channeled online- value add to the standard offerings by adding Adventure Travel!

Adventure Engine can add this component to your portfolio and application easily.
The Adventure market is one of the fastest growing Travel Industries and a must have for the Boomer demographic.. (click here for stats)

• Instant Inventory - Adventure Engine provides you with 1500+ trips from over 100 suppliers and can update you as new suppliers and trips are added..
• High commissions range from 5-30% make more than Air!
• Be indispensable! Agents (one on one) sale consultation is a critical component when you choose to represent high-end adventure travel. Clients need direction and assistance in picking their life dreams for themselves, family and friends. This ensures the agent remains valuable in the transaction and allows agents the ability to become specialists and consultants.
• Enjoy significant time and cost savings as AEI provides you with REAL TIME inventory and booking capabilities - no more phoning or emailing to confirm availability.
• All net rate (wholesale) purchases are tracked and invoices prepared.
• Turnkey solutions are also provided with the technology so agencies can add a search engine and shopping portal to their web sites – a great service for customers.
All sales are tracked and commissions paid automatically.

Market Pain we resolve:
Distributors / Agents want thousands of trips from various suppliers to augment their portfolio but can’t manage 100’s of feeds or make thousands of calls for real time availability. Suppliers need distributors / agents selling their trips but can’t find or negotiate individual contracts and call or email each of them daily with current availability. Neither wants separate comparison, accounting, separate online windows. Adventure Engine offers a centralized conduit that provides ONE point of contact for both parties and provides real time commerce / research.

Case study
One of our suppliers O.A.R.S utilizes the agent netrate and portal program and averages 10+ sales a day through their agent program during their summer season. During the duration of their season they administrated over $140,000 in 600 plus transactions.
"Adventure Engine is allowing us manage all our Moab bookings that come through our staff, Sorrel River Ranch staff, other distributors and online. At the end of the month we can track exactly who sold what." James Rodger, O.A.R.S.

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. Adventure Engine distributes data to agents/ distributors by means of:

I.1. iFrame portals

Inset into agent website template and includes a set layout for 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).
See samples

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.
How it Works see supplier manual http://www.adventureengine.com/content/supplier_manual.pdf page 38 for overview

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 the current Air and Hotels they already have.
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 but Inset into agent website template and includes a set layout for 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).



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.

How it works:
i) Suppliers load their trips to Adventure Engine either manually or with XML feeds. This includes items such as trip summary, itinerary, prices, availability, min/max seats, price variables, add-ons, gear requirements, terms/waivers, photos, and more.
ii) Suppliers set a universal commission rate for all distributors /agents but have the ability to program unique commissions for preferred distributors.
iii) When a sale is completed Adventure Engine handles transactions, commission payments to agents, and forwards remaining revenues to suppliers all via electronic funds transfer twice / month unless otherwise arranged.
iv) Seat inventory is immediately updated in the system regardless of where or how the sale was made (by supplier, distributor, or customer; using I frame portals or web services, processed online or not) sale is tracked, and automated emails are sent to all parties.
v) Supplier and agents can login to Adventure Engine at any time to review activity. AEI sends monthly statements detailing all activity.

Commissions
Company will advise AEI of minimum base commission requirements for member agents as well as the % required by Company. AEI will negotiate this commission on behalf of all parties, communicating minimum requirements to all trip suppliers. AEI will track all sales activity, forward commissions owing electronically and provide monthly statements to each agent member generating activity.

Company and members will also be able to view supplier profiles including commissions programmed. If any member would like to create a unique relationship and higher commission with any of AEI suppliers the agent can contact the supplier one to one. If unique commission is agreed on the AEI system can be used to set and track these relationships.

General Functionality includes:
Commission tracking
Commission payment (unless netrate or advanced webservice utlizing distributor merchant account)
Reporting
Administration login area

Training and Support
All Client Care and IT support is offered free of charge. AEI is available to complete demo presentations, training and orientation at the convenience of Company members.
In addition, AEI will coordinate regular Product Knowledge Webinars by activity and region and invite representative suppliers to attend and provide background, education and Q&A.

The introduction of the Portal program, at no cost to agents with training, support and product information webinars will provide a good foundation for gauging agent uptake of the product. As the Company platform is being finalized this window of time for the portal program should allow us to review feasibility for integration of web services and additional functionality required.

System management
Adventure Engine is a web-based program. All upgrades are immediately available to users without waiting for or installing new software.

Online shopping portal examples and links

Online distributor shopping portal examples
Squamish, BC Chamber of Commerce
This portal is constrained to show only local BC communities.
Go Travel World Online Magazine No constraints, all trips showing

Webservice Example:
http://www.lonelyplanet.com/yearofadventures/
Lonely Planet is currently using Adventure Engine’s 1st two web services to
1) populate their search bar and
2) display summary trip description results.

The search bar and layout is entirely designed by Lonely Planet. AEI simply supplies the data feed and returns results according to what user has selected. Currently Lonely Planet switches to a pop up portal to display detailed itinerary and checkout. Development on their end to receive our three additional web services is ongoing.

Three additional Web services include
3) Trip more details returning a detailed itinerary for each trip
4) Shopping Cart (price quote)
5) Check out

Implementation of Adventure Engine can be completed in phased approaches or in use of one option or another.
Adventure Engine would suggest that a natural progression for companies looking to the webservice solution includes:

PHASE I – iFrame portal / shopping portal

Agents/ distributors can place an AEI iFrame shopping portal on their website.
The same portal will be offered to all Company members but with a unique login ID so individual member sales can be tracked.

The iFrame portal will serve three main functions:
1. Unique Value add -Create a unique value added service to web site visitors.
2. Turnkey revenue -Provide a source of adventure trips and tours for member agents to review, research and resell.
3. Education! It is important that agents and thier clients are introduced to the opportunity of Adventure Travel (this can occur while webservices are being constructed)
Customers can review options on their own and then follow up with agents for more info, or agents can suggest product to customer and either purchase on their behalf or recommend the shopping portal.
** webinars can be arranged for agents and clients

I frame portals are intended for end user use. The shopping portal is not a streamlined application for agents to use to bundle with other products as trips cannot be added to the same invoice as air and accommodations and a credit card is required for purchase at retail rates but it is an excellent first step to put over 1000 trips in front of Company’s member and will be used to determine agent interest (see phase II for complete integration).

PHASE II - Application Interface using AEI’s web services
** for large agencies, online agents/consolidators and application providers

Trips from the AEI database can be fed directly into the Company platform. Agents will then have the option to add ‘live and book-able adventure with up to date seat availability’ alongside existing products such as air and accommodation.
Demo’s and more detailed technical documentation are available on request.

AEI offers five web services proving a straight data feed to subscriber’s site allowing the subscriber to have complete control over site design, layout, positioning etc.

Kathy Moyer Dragon, Founder and Owner of The Dragon's Path, ActiveWomen.com and now a consultant with Eons.com, has spent the past two decades in the center of the active and adventure travel industry. Having researched, designed, marketed, sold and then personally escorted and facilitated the travel experiences of over 3000 guests on small group adventure and cultural trips around the globe Kathy will discuss how baby boomers are changing today’s travel landscape from what products they want (can’t stand or wish for) to how different generations of travelers perceive themselves in today’s active travel environment. All these questions and answers have changed over the past decade as the boomer travel market has evolved and yes, redefined the travel industry.
