Carrera Systems Ltd. announced the signing of a deal with United Co-op Travel Group, for the implementation of the TravelPower mid/back office travel booking system. Carrera Systems` solution will be supplied to United Co-operatives` twelve Business Travel locations.
The new mid/back office system will be hosted at United Co-op Travel Group`s head office in Stoke with the 12 locations accessing TravelPower via a VPN (virtual private network) and Terminal Services. United Co-op Travel Group operation of TravelPower will begin 1st October, 2005 for the initial locations, with the remainder being phased in by December 2005.
Dave Picking, General Manager, Travel System, United Co-op Travel Group said, We were particularly impressed at the high level of integration and automation of the TravelPower solution. We could immediately identify a number of areas where TravelPower would save us time and therefore, money. Another key factor was the use of mainstream technology such as MS SQL/Server, allowing us considerable flexibility for reporting and data manipulation.
Anthony Rissbrook, General Manager, Business Travel, United Co-op Travel Group said, There were many positive reasons for choosing TravelPower. United Co-op Travel Group has a huge rail volume and the fact that they have the new Evolvi interface was a big advantage. But most important, was their willingness to listen to our specific needs and commit to delivering against set timescales.
