Internet Merchandising Systems Inc. announced today the availability of their new Ferry & Bus Reservation Portal software. Our current online ferry reservation and ferry booking system is one of the few ferry / bus reservation systems designed around Internet technology.
Building on our proven reservation software, plus our new proprietary multi-tiered association schema algorithms, it easily manages both complex (multi-leg) and simple (one-leg back and
forth) rounds trips. Even "unbalanced" round-trips where one leg is shorter than the other are possible, such as, each leg being made up of smaller tours.
With the addition of the portal option, it is now possible for bus or ferry operators with a common theme to expand their Internet presence save on distribution costs and generate more
sales by allowing each licensed ferry or bus owner access to a central website and control their own secure ferry or bus line / shuttle administrative area to control their rates,
availability, photos and descriptive information and inventory.
Included also are extended abilities for travel agents, whereby each Agent can manage their account, commission and reservations from a single user interface to view and modify their
account profile or view and delete their booked reservations, commissions and print their commission reports.
"This latest version with its powerful online contracting & rate distribution capabilities for travel agents, resellers and corporate clients, allows bus & ferry operators to
easily set rates and allotments in the system, at which point any approved agent will have access to view availability and make reservations immediately. Many other powerful features and
the new graphical editing interface allow any website to become a significant and powerful bus and or ferry booking and reservation e-distribution centre," said IMS President John
Shenton.
For web promotion the software also includes as standard an integrated newsletter & email engine, automated affiliate program, ecommerce gift shop capability (IMScart ecommerce), P2P
(Product to Product) up-sell display linking and merchandising plus a powerful coupon discount module.
