Radixx Launches Internet-Centered CRS for Resorts At Mountain Travel Symposium 2000
SNOWMASS VILLAGE, Colo. / April 3, 2000--Mountain Travel Symposium 2000 Booth No. 17/Radixx Solutions International, Inc., a leader in development of Internet-centered reservation and inventory management systems for the travel, entertainment and hospitality industries, today launched the Radixx CRS Resorts(tm) reservation system at Mountain Travel Symposium 2000.
Built on the powerful Radixx Reservation Engine, the Radixx CRS Resorts system is a Windows®-based, multi-inventory reservation product which allows reservation agents to quickly offer and book room or condo accommodations, air travel, ground transportation, skiing and other entertainment, special amenities, tours or activities for travelers.
"With the reservation industry now becoming a commodity business, maximizing conversions of calls to bookings is critical to the success of any reservation processing system," said Radixx Executive Vice President Gavin C. Ridge. "The versatility and user-friendly format of Radixx CRS promotes a high conversion rate, while reducing distribution costs."
Combining the worldwide, open system connectivity of the Internet with a high-performance database and a simple GUI front-end, Radixx CRS can be used on either a Unix server or on a PC running Windows NT.
Any combination of travel inventories can be hosted within the system and seamlessly booked in a single reservation. Inventory items can be priced individually in multiple currencies or priced in a single currency and converted to a target currency.
Any number of people can be placed on a reservation, paying independently, with individual itineraries, all with separate addresses and contact information. Packaged offerings are also supported, allowing special prices and attributes for prepackaged inventory items. These packages will draw from underlying inventory while maintaining individual pricing and availability. This ability to both independently price as well as package inventory makes Radixx CRS Resorts an extremely flexible marketing and management tool.
Available interfaces include credit card authorization and settlement, accounting and yield management systems. Multiple reports are system-standard, while report writing is supported via customized views of the database.
Other system benefits include a powerful lodging price engine, sophisticated inventory management (direct to CRS, allocated/blocked, other), a unique high-speed integrated Windows air link to Apollo, unlimited number of segments per booking, split payments for any fraction of the total book, ability to host external inventory, remote vendor availability and pricing management, history tracking and manipulation and SQL database support (Oracle, Microsoft SQL Server).
Radixx Solutions International specializes in cost-effective, yet powerful client/server-based reservation systems and related software productivity tools for the travel, entertainment and hospitality industries. Radixx is a member of IATA (the International Air Transport Association) and CRADR (the Central Reservation Association of Destination Resorts). Some of Radixx' clients include: Winter Park Resorts, Premier Cruise Lines and Iceland Airlines. For more information, visit the Radixx web site www.radixx.com.
