Moresand Chooses GoQuo for Online and Dynamic Packaging
Enhancement across Four Travel Businesses
London, 29 March
2007 – Fast-growing, award-winning online technology specialist
GoQuo Ltd (www.goquo.com) has been selected to develop online
booking and dynamic packaging capabilities in a three-phase
project for four operating companies of travel group Moresand
Ltd.
Established in 1986, London-based Moresand Ltd employs 50 staff
across its individual branded travel agencies: Moresand Holidays
(specialising in the Caribbean, Middle East and Asia), Crystal
Travel (flight only), Sam Travel & Tours (Indian sub-continent
specialist), Air Travel Guide (trade only flight consolidator
business), and Relaxx Travel (business travel).
Project starts with Air Travel Guide
In the first project phase, GoQuo will design, customize and
implement its GQAgent flight booking solution to support Air
Travel Guide’s online sale of published, nett and CAT 35 fares
for over 75 airlines to several thousand UK leisure and business
travel agents.
Moresand Ltd director John Kalia explained: “Essentially, we’ll
be providing a very user-friendly online booking facility for
agents, plus a web interface for our busy call centre, that lets
them access, book and mark up nett fares. For example, once a
booking is made from flight inventory held on GoQuo’s database,
GoQuo will process it, confirm availability, and also offer
price and location options for different fares to maximize
choice and value. It’s all about making the most of our
resources and squeezing more value out of the business.”
Leisure and business travel in Phases 2 and 3
The second phase of the GoQuo project will bring all the
benefits of dynamic packaging to the retail web sites of
Moresand Holidays and Crystal Travel, enabling their consumer
customers to make real-time, secure online booking of flights,
hotels, car rental and a growing range of other travel products
and services.
The third phase for corporate travel agency Relaxx Travel will
focus on developing a white label online business booking
solution that can be individually branded for the agency’s
corporate customers.
According to Mr Kalia, the GoQuo project should add a minimum
10% in additional revenues by bringing all the benefits of
online travel services to the heart of Moresand’s diverse travel
interests. “Whatever the channel – public and trade web site,
call centre or online corporate – we see big benefits in
implementing GoQuo’s solutions which will grow with our
business.”
He said GoQuo was selected because its team understood the
importance of system user-friendliness and solution
customisation, had impeccable references, offered up-to-date
technology that would deliver fast booking speeds, and could
implement quickly.
GoQuo managing director Ron Ramanan commented: “This is a major
win for GoQuo as it is a multi-part phased project that
harnesses most of our online booking and dynamic packaging
solutions. Moresand’s strategic decision to go down this route
should bring significant benefit to its end customers and help
drive more sales.”
