New CVFR Consolidation Services “TickeTech-Connect” platform to offer NDC fares.
CVFR Consolidation has just announced the launch of a new TickeTech-Connect platform which will see the company distribute broad based airfares content including low-cost carrier (LCC) and NDC channel fares.
CVFR MD Ram Chhabra said the system was the outcome of more than six months of research, planning and development, utilising advanced technology to manage customer requirements and distribute integrated airfare content through a streamlined online channel.
The first stage of the system will be deployed by mid-February 2020, designed for online travel agents (OTAs) “but equally applicable to any travel agent wishing to take control of their inventory and pricing,” Chhabra said.
“TickeTech-Connect allows us to offer a more holistic solution to our local and global customers and empowers them to effectively compete on an increasingly competitive stage…for our business the focus has never been about being first or being ahead of our competitors, it has always been about ensuring we deliver the right fit for the needs and requirements of our agent customers in an ever-changing travel market”.
He said the platform connects to Sabre, Amadeus and Galileo and would also provide LCC content, with discussions also under way with other regional GDS providers and consolidators. NDC content will be available by the end of Q1 2020, Chhabra added.
“The new technology is an additional product and does not replace the current ticketing platform which is market-leading and the foundation of our ticketing service to agents,” he noted.
