easytalk - Travel Technology - Why Trip Planning is a winner!
Trip planning becomes ever more popular and is meanwhile THE preferred tool for cutting-edge booking technology. Trip planning follows a travellers mind, building a trip from point to point rather than product per product It supports true dynamic packaging process with simultaneous searches based on several product verticals and parameters.
Even though it can be used to book single independent item, it’s the perfect tool for trips that do involve multiple services.
What is Trip Planning now exactly ?
Ever tried to book a complex itinerary on a regular booking engine ? Well, it works but its cumbersome. Most reservation systems are designed to let you book individual items such as flights, hotels, transfers with a separate check-out….at best there is a connection using a ‘would you like to add X’ button yet otherwise you will only find the option to book pre-packaged items with little chance of customization.
Trip planning allows you for once a much more personalized approach to you client’s needs, it’s designed to build up an entire trip in chronological order, from point to point, adding destinations and items as the itinerary progresses.
By doing so you are setting the parameters, what class to fly in, which category of hotel, whether a private or a shared transfer would suit your client better. With a click the system searches for all verticals simultaneously at once – with one final price at checkout.
It’s probably the most efficient and convenient way to process a complex, personalized trip for your client.
Trip planning Stress Tested
At Easy Travel Technology we have been putting it to the test with a 42 days long Trip that included various services across 12 destinations. We then modified parameters changing airlines, ticket class, hotel categories and the order of destinations. The full booking process in this instance took 12 Minutes until all services were completed.
We then attempted to book the same on a regular engine and ended up spending 43 minutes incl. all changes and adjustments with pricing that was only marginally better.
Its therefore save to say that the trip planning method saves you more than 60% of your time.
