Nexus Connects With Trust Voyager CRS for WORLDHOTELS
Hotel clients benefit from automated rate loading process
JULY 23, 2007. Nexus World Services reaches agreement with Trust International, a Travelport brand, to establish an interface between Nexus and Trust Voyager. The interface means that rates 'accepted' in the Corporate and Consortia contracting process will automatically be uploaded from Nexus into the Trust Voyager CRS and onward into the various distribution channels. This automation process simplifies the complex rate loading process for Nexus' hotel clients. WORLDHOTELS, the global group for independent hotels, is the first client to benefit from this agreement.
Commented Geoff Andrew, Nexus' Managing Director: 'We have a number of customers using various CRS and they have told us that they want Nexus to automate as many processes as possible. We aim to have our first client interface - for WORLDHOTELS - up and running in time for this year's rate loading season. Others will follow just as soon as we're able to put them in place.'
Carina Stegmayer, Vice President Global Revenue & Distribution of WORLDHOTELS, outlined the advantages for the hotel group: 'Corporate Negotiations is a major part of our business and thus constant improvement of these processes is extremely valuable. Each year we have to deal with contracts of more than 400 companies, not to mention all the other rates we collect through Nexus RFP. This new interface means a substantial improvement for the way we operate and we are happy to team up with the best.'
Richard Wiegmann, COO of Trust International by Travelport, said: 'We share Nexus' determination to improve process efficiency for our hotel clients. Automating the rate loading process to Trust Voyager will make life easier for hundreds of hotels using the Nexus system.'
