Inventory and distribution, the great technological challenge in travel
Advanced Inventory and Distribution Application (AIDA) represents a major breakthrough in techology for travel business. The complexity of storing inventories and dynamically joining and distributing travel services was a great challenge to all software solutions. AIDA is the result of many years of research and development, together with experienced travel agencies and tour operators, being today a complete and comprehensive solution, yet natural to work with system. AIDA gives you all the necessary instruments to completely automatize your tour operating business, from packages / holidays production to sales points.
| Open your account and start managing all your services inside the tour operator interface. Add capacities and prices to services, create packages / holidays, create rules, define cancellation policies, build the documents templates, put everything on sale. Open them to distribution and have your customers book your services and packages in an instance. |

Dynamic packaging, group and ungroup the services on the fly
| AIDA comes with a revolutionary services packaging concept, allowing dynamically selecting services of packages while in the booking interface, based on advanced links set by the tour operator. This way the tour operator contraints the package sales, composed of several services and rules. The main advantage is that the service packages are not statically defined, bur rather dynamic. The links can be broken or reconfigured on the fly while the package is on sale and reduce allotment losses to a minimum. |
Natural and easy to work with environment
 |
| Being such a complex solution which has to cover lots of possible scenarios, a natural and logical workflow and a friendly user interface were needed so the tour operators could start right away, with minimum training and preparations. Although the stored data is complete, making each service fully defined, the operation in the administrative interface is quite natural and follows the logical events sequence from real life tour operating activity. |
Capacities and price layers broken down at day level
| All service capacities and prices are stored at day level allowing you to define down to the basic unit (day) all the components of a service. The data is added using recurrent setups so the operator will complete his tasks in no time. Fine-tunes are available giving you all the flexibility you need to add all services and packages exactly as you need them. Besides the speed of editing any service component, the monthly view of all elements gives you an easy readable overview of project/service status, while on sale. |

Interchangeable commission and revenue schemas, while on sale
| Several tour operator mark-ups and distributor revenue commission schemas can be defined for certain time intervals. For example both promotional and high season categories could coexist and they can be interchanged according to setup or tour operator's preference while the services are on sale. With on the fly price management you can adapt your sales targets and strategy very fast, according to continuously evolving market trends. |

State of the art technology, low cost implementation and support
AIDA uses the latest web programming technologies and techniques. It can be the perfect software solution for you to automatize or even start from scratch the tour operating business. Being a web application, AIDA offers you a major advantage, in terms of maintenance, support and upkeeping. All you need are standard terminals with Internet browsers and connection to the Internet.
