Press Release

A Revolution in Travel Agent Tools: Farematrix.com

Toronto, February 2, 2004 - Farematrix, a Canadian based Software company has released an Internet Travel Search Software for Travel Agents. Farematrix allows the Travel Agent to gain a competitive advantage by simultaneously searching over 125 consolidator, airline and mega online travel web sites from all over the world in seconds. Farematrix automatically logs into password protected sites with a travel agencies passwords and in seconds displays the search results side by side in a single browser page to easily compare fares. Then by clicking on the fare that the travel agent is interested in, Farematrix will instantly take the travel agent to the booking page of any of the 125 sites, for a quick and easy completion of the booking.

Mandy Schell says "from the beginning, the creation of Farematrix was by Travel Agents for Travel Agents. Customers were finding lower fares on the Mega online agencies and Airline web sites. Consolidators were creating their own web booking engines, and individually searching them was taking more and more time."

Farematrix is simple to use and saves time when searching for fares. Fares are searched on one browser simultaneously and are shown side-by-side for an "apples to apples" comparison. Farematrix is Internet based, therefore no downloads are required to use the software, this also means it works anywhere.

Mandy Schell say "today, a typical agent is doing between 30 to 40 percent of their business on the web. However, the vast majority of this time is spent typing web addresses (or finding them in the favourites list), finding and clicking on agent-only links, typing in and remembering passwords, entering a requested travel itinerary, and finally getting to the suppliers inventory page where yet again choices must be made. If 30 to 40 percent of your business is on the web, this can translate up to an astounding 3 hours per day of clicking on and filling in web pages. Wouldn't it be better if that time were being used for selling travel, and not looking for it?"
