Dedicated Server | Multi-Server Installation |
|---|---|
Individual software installation on a dedicated server of a client is the most common implementation option. The platform installation and configuration is performed by GP Solutions specialists. In case of plans for on-going customisation of the solution, we recommend having an additional test server for internal use. | If the system is supposed to process a large amount of booking transactions (approximately more than 5 000 bookings per month) or if high search load is expected, it is recommended to use the multi-server server installation to assure a high performance level. Note: Each multi-server installation is configured on a case-by-case basis according to every client’s exact requirements. |

In general the process of developing self-operated products includes the following steps:
General product description. The first step implies entering basic information on the product or service. The information to be specified varies depending on the product. There are however certain common fields:
Adding general information on the product, including name, supplier, transaction currency, and the description of the product itself.
Adding particular categories to a service catalogue (for example, categories for accommodation, service classes for charters, type for excursions and tours, etc.)
Creating traveler categories. The Adult category is created by default. In case you want to provide special rates for children or elderly travelers, you can add corresponding categories and later adjust price calculation.
Scheduling services. Includes setting service schedule (usually service start time.)
For some products configuration of relevant additional services is also available.
Price configuration. Price configuration includes several steps, and generally consists of:
Creating tariffs according to which the prices are calculated and sales terms are formed;
Creating price-lists for a product and all services it includes;
Adding a price list for additional services;
Selecting types of discounts and specifying terms of their application;
Setting penalties.
Availability. Specifying allotments of seats or rooms available for booking (if you have corresponding agreement with suppliers) or configuring sales “on request”.
As a result, a travel product is created in the system and becomes available for search and booking. If needed, all new products can be modified.

How it works:
Tour Operator Level 1 (supervisor of your company) logs into the system, goes to My company -> Clients legal and creates new company with type “Tour Operator” and configures sales rules for him (e.g. markup +10%).
Tour Operator Level 2 logs into the system and goes to My company -> Clients legal and creates his own sub-agencies and configures sales rules for them (e.g. markup + 20% and commission 15%).
Travel Agency beneath Tour Operator Level 2 logs into the system and makes a booking. After that every company in the chain sees this booking with corresponding net and gross prices in their accounts.
Corporate Clients – organisations that require travel services for their own employees or partners.

free booking - the services can be booked immediately;
booking upon confirmation - at the time of booking, information about the reservation is saved, but the manager must contact the supplier to confirm the booking.
View search results. If you are not satisfied with the search results you can go back and repeat the search.

There are 2 ways of working with Channel manager:
IN - prices and availability are loaded from hotels to inventory through channel manager. There is no need for the hotel’s personnel to log in to every single channel in order to update availability. Channel managers receive information about bookings made through the online booking platform and transfer it to hotels
OUT - prices and allotments are transferred to a Channel Manager through TO system (Inventory). When a booking is made, its information is sent to TO system back to pass it to hotels. The Channel Manager will automatically reduce availability when a room is booked on any one of your sales channels.
