nuTravel Technology Solutions has signed a 5 year agreement with ABC Corporate Services, the travel industry’s premier supplier of products and services; including Premier Hotel Program, Traveler Emergency Service System (TESS), International Rate Desk and Global Connect. ABC plans to market nuTravel’s booking tool, “CTS”, to its agency partners worldwide, the majority of which being regional travel agencies that will be taking full advantage of nuTravel’s customizable private label online booking service.

nuTravel’s service and continued support includes the usage of its private label marketing materials, a dedicated customer support staff providing implementation support (WebEx Demo’s and training classes), and assistance in achieving adoption goals as well as a full range of technical services and support.

“We are excited to have nuTravel Technology Solutions on board as a supplier partner,” notes Beverlee S. Patterson, President & COO, ABC Corporate Services. “Not only does nuTravel deliver innovative front-end Web-based reservation technology that meets our customers’ needs, but CTS is intuitive, easy-to-use and practical.” More importantly, “CTS was not created in a vacuum; rather it is the result of the collaboration of travel industry veterans and IT experts. That’s a significant advantage for ABC customers,” Patterson added.

“nuTravel enables our travel agency partners to offer convenience in the booking process while also reducing travel costs to the agency and to their customer,” says Carmine Carpanzano, President & CEO of nuTravel. “We understand the agency process. CTS streamlines the touch-less reservation process, creating efficiencies which allow our agency partners to pass along these savings through reduced service fees.”

CTS is attractive to its travel agency partners for a number of reasons:

• No Setup costs and a transaction fee structure that rewards productivity – transaction fee charges for ticketed transactions only.
• A flexible, configurable solution that can adapt to varying agency environments.
• Allows agencies to retain their own profiles and integrates them without any changes within CTS.
• Retrieves the existing customer profile from the agency’s GDS and has one single area where profiles are stored.
• Books the actual reservation in the agency’s pseudo city (as if a travel agent were booking the reservation).
• Queue placement and configurable file finishing so the PNR is completely ready for ticketing immediately upon confirming the reservation.
• Multi-leg/leg fare functionality displays “leg fares” in search results.
• Travel arranger functionality.
