BCD Travel has chosen Farelogix for the development and implementation of a new technology platform.

The platform is designed to deliver customer value in the areas of content management, supplier optimization and operational efficiency.

“Our goal is to insulate BCD Travel customers from the uncertainties surrounding access to travel inventory,” said Dee Runyan, BCD Travel’s executive vice president for products, technology & supplier relations.

“Farelogix is providing us a part of the technology that will enable us to address the complexities of processing travel transactions for our clients, while also driving efficiencies across our organization and ensuring that we can execute on any inventory-access strategy that a customer might pursue,” said Runyan.

According to an official release, Farelogix enables travel management company BCD Travel to better optimise the many supplier and distribution services available in the travel market from a content,
functionality, and financial point of view. As an important technical part of the new BCD Travel platform, the Farelogix FLX Platform will enable BCD Travel agents to source travel inventory from a variety of channels, including supplier-direct connections, Global Distribution Systems (GDS), as well as private and Internet fare sources. It will also enable BCD Travel to centralise its data sources, faring and shopping, as well as travel policy. By providing a solution to address this fragmentation of inventory, BCD Travel can empower its agents to compete more effectively.

The FLX Platform will enable BCD Travel agents to source travel content against an infinite number of flexible, rules-based criteria. These include lowest cost to the supplier (competitive booking source) and best content source according to supplier (i.e. website). BCD Travel will also be able to monitor and manage contractual commitments made to its customers, the GDSs and suppliers.
