| PASS expands product portfolio with XML adapters toward Sixt, Europcar and Axess |
Miami Beach, May 2nd, 2011 – Besides many already existing adapters that the PASS XX/1 Multi Content Hub converts into standardized XML format, PASS offers Axess (Japan’s leading CRS), Sixt, and Europcar new direct connections. The new adapters are available to all PASS customers with immediate effect and facilitate a quick integration into the existing applications by means of the standardized XML structure.
|
| Also new: a special query logic that – in addition to the round trip fares – identifies one-way fares in all flight segments and delivers all possible combinations of these fares as combined round trips. Consequently, more inexpensive fares can often be found especially in European air traffic than with mere GDS shopper results. |
| In addition, PASS XX/1 also offers a normalization of the profile creation on all GDS. This benefits the profile maintenance in several GDS. |
| “There is a slight chance that we will add almost another 30 adapters over the next 12 months!” mentioned Michael Strauss, CEO of PASS Consulting Corporation and Head of Business Unit Travel proudly. “We have been the first to introduce XML in the travel industry and today the flexibility and performance of this server really pays off. Our XML schema was just recently adopted by the Open Axis Group. Since years, Amadeus and Farelogix among others have build their platform on our foundation. Thus, I guess you can say that our software made it to a world standard!” he continues. |
| About PASS XX/1 Multi-GDS/Multi-Source Hub - Transaction Server: PASS XX/1 unifies diverse 3rd party information in one format and consequently enables content aggregation. PASS XX/1 is of interest to every travel content provider who wants to make travel information from a variety of sources available. All GDS, a number of direct suppliers including airlines, rental cars and aggregators, Low Cost Carrier and Web Fares can be accessed via XX/1 (Multi-GDS/Multi-Source). This means that it opens up the complete travel offering for flights, hotels, rail, and rental cars. PASS XX/1 offers comprehensive connectivity, transformation and flexibility on the basis of XML. Additional interfaces such as EDIFACT, X 12, as well as TN 3270 open up further possibilities. Due to the existing connectors and the market penetration of PASS XX/1Multi-GDS Hub, there is no comparable product. Furthermore, any adapter to any system can be implemented in a matter of weeks. The largest Global Distribution Systems and Global Reservation Systems rely on XX/1 Multi-GDS capabilities, as well as many high-profile suppliers from the aviation, travel and hotel industry. |
