In the situation of tight competition on travel market customers are often looking for complete solutions while planning their trips. With opportunity to choose from numerous destinations and activities they are no longer interested in preconfigured travel solutions and rather prefer to have the travel package made by themselves. Titanium Systems has developed

Travel Dynamic Packaging System

in order to provide their customers the freedom of choice and ability to purchase all required products from one supplier.

Firstly the technology includes the ability to combine different reservation systems like car rental, flight, accommodation, leisure activities etc. into one package. Secondly it is based on an individual consumer search request and finally it provides a fully priced package within very short time. It does not mean that you can interconnect into one solution Titanium Systems' products only. There is a possibility to connect any systems with XML data feed to the Travel Dynamic Packaging System. It is possible to deploy service scalable enough to support multiple, real-time connectivity mechanisms. A Dynamic Packaging infrastructure integrates data in an automated way for queries in a uniform way across multiple heterogeneous web resources containing tourism related information.

The point which should be highlighted is that the Dynamic Packaging (fig.1) gives Your customers the flexibility of choice. If some benefits are not required they can be easily removed from the list. The possibility to skip some steps and combine individual travel package is given in step-by-step reservation process. Once the choice was made the credit card card number as well as the personal information can be entered however there is an option to purchase the package or save it as a quote, which of course can be updated or converted to reservation. The main advantage of Dynamic Packaging is ability to pay for various benefits in one monetary transaction instead of paying separately for air tickets, accommodation, car rental etc. This saves both time and money.

Just imagine if Your client is planning a weekly trip from London to New York and then decides to go to Boston for two weeks. As consequence, it becomes necessary to book air tickets to those destinations separately, not to mention the accommodation. The client might also require the transportation means like automobile.

The best solution for these problems is using the Travel Dynamic Packaging System with built-in Rental Planner which makes it possible to define times and destinations as well as assist in booking process. Dynamic Packaging Travel Planner allows Your clients to combine different activities and prognose durations according to the timeline. For example, it will allow to chose the least gap between air flights available.

Another benefit can be in flexible pricing rules such as discounts, bonus systems etc. which might be applied to the whole packages. For example, if there is only one service booked then no discounts would be applied, but there will be some benefits in case of two or more serviced package. Every additional booking gives some discount percentage and summing all up, it results in lower package price. Strategy is: "The more You buy the cheaper it will be"! Different insurance policies can be used to provide Your customer with the best price and service as well.

Travel Dynamic Packaging System has simple, yet innovative user's interface which is made in order to help Your clients to get on with the system better. Shopping cart (fig.2) stands for making the list of desired activities and movement, helping Your client to see whole package at every step. It has a connection to Dynamic Packaging rules, indicating if selected activity/travel/leisure is aligned by time or corresponds with other benefits. One of the most important options making our system the flagship of all dynamic packaging solutions is advanced pricing rules.

The following pricing factors can increase effectiveness of the whole system (change the final price):
