Solutions
nuTravel's CTS embodies the industry's desire for a managed corporate online booking tool that innovates and evolves with the increasing demands of the marketplace, while remaining competitive with its pricing structure as well as surpassing all client-service expectations.
CTS acts as a catalyst for the success and satisfaction of our partners. While it offers agencies and corporations alike the traditional ability to 'look and book' on the web, it also provides the agency the capabilities of maintaining the integrity of the corporate travel policies and program(s).
The CTS user interface boasts a clean, lightning-fast portal that is easily and quickly customized on a site-by-site basis. It offers a robust, dynamic and open architecture to agency partners, delivering a user-friendly experience in a suite of products.
Technology Needs
nuTravel continuously enhances its CTS™ offering to work with and for its users. One such enhancement is its Flight Notes™ feature that sends flight status updates to a traveler’s cell phone or PDA. In addition, CTS™ automatically searches and returns low fare alternatives to the user’s selected fare, saving them time and money.
CTS™ offers time saving features like matrix displays, feature comparisons, all-in-one trip search, trip templates, and ancillary features such as ground transportation, mapping, and driving directions.
Advances in Technology
nuTravel uses only the latest software and hardware technologies, primarily open-sourced software and custom hardware for the best performance/price ratio and latest technology compatibility. CTS™ is 100% Java, running on Apache Tomcat Linux based servers, in an XML-based client-server architecture.
CTS™ can quickly connect to Web Services based services :such as Direct Connects to Airlines, Consolidator Feeds for Hotels, Services such as ground transportation and airport parking, Rail, and many more.
CTS™ was built to last by virtue of its open, modularized architecture. nuTravel separated it’s business logic from the mechanics of interacting with the reservations systems so that when the reservations systems change, or new reservation systems come online, CTS™ simply needs to write the connectors to translate it’s internal format to any foreign formats.
Through this architecture, nuTravel can do in weeks what takes its competitors months.
nuTravel architected its system to be self monitoring, highly available and easy to support. The modular architecture by which multiple sources are normalized and merged in CTS™ allows nuTravel to “plug and play” multiple vendors, suppliers and resources with minimal integration effort. As a result, it takes far fewer hours and fewer people to add/replace a feature in CTS™ than it does in legacy systems. Moreover, the modular approach used by nuTravel allows nuTravel to work in much smaller teams in isolation rather than larger teams that require a great deal of interaction.
