Managing Trade Partners 

With different trade partners, you might be contracting different rates. Our sophisticated nett rate management module allows you to enter different rates accordingly for trade partners, so the trade partner automatically sees their applied nett rate.  Based on Travel Industry Best Practices, this has been set up so you only load this once, and each new season or contract year, you simply update the RRP (Recommended Retail Price) and the nett rates automatically update! No more tiresome and lengthy rate loading each season. Partners also have access to an Agent Portal where they can view live inventory, complete bookings at their negotiated rate and pre-pay ('On Account' options also available) themselves if necessary!
