TBS travel booking solution - updates
New payment gateway available: Bankmed
A new payment gateway was implemented in TBS - Bankmed Ecommerce Payment, from Lebanon. The method used is redirect - this means that the user will not complete his card details in TBS; a pop-up window will be displayed and the customer will be redirected to the payment gateway website. He will introduce his card information directly on the payment processor page, which is secured.
Reseller – search traveler with autocomplete widget
A new option was implemented in TBS reseller interface, allowing the agent to select the passenger name from different sources: the reseller's existing reservations or external sources, such as TINA. All services (except insurance) allow the possibility to search for client name based on the previous reservations, at the prebook step, when entering traveler details.
Note: TINA as a source will be available only for MAIN and BRANCH resellers. The reservation source will be available for all resellers, based on the passenger names and details saved for the existing reservations.
Transfer orders from TINA to TBS
A new option was developed in TBS, which allows the user working on an order in TINA to push the details to TBS. This will open TBS application (if it's not already opened) and will use the details from the TINA order to search offers in TBS and add the passenger names in the pre-book step. This will save time and simplify a lot the process, for those using both TBS and TINA applications.
Note: This option is only available for MAIN and BRANCH resellers.
Upcoming suppliers in TBS:
- Hotels: Lots of Hotels, W2M, FIT Ruums, Sunhotels, RTS, TBO Holidays, RezLive
- Car rental: CarTrawler, Hertz, Avis
- Tickets: Sports365
- Insurance: Holiday Guard
- Payment Gateways: Faturah, Payrexx
Update to the new platform is in progress for the following hotels suppliers: Miki, Hotelspro (Coral), Hotelbeds, Travco, Jumbo Hotels and Restel.
AIDA tour operator solution updates
Transfers - cancellation policy applied to the number of hours before departure time
In the newest version of AIDA, in Projects/Project Components/Penalties/Add cancellation policy/Manage cancellation policy type, a cancellation policy rule related to the number of hours before the pick-up time can be set for the transfer service group, as seen in the image below:
Once saved, the rule is available on sale for the transfer reservations added. The cancellation penalty displayed, as seen in the image below, is related to the pick-up time set in Search filters. For example, if the cancellation policy is set to apply for cancellations made with 1 hours before pick-up time and the pick-up time is 13:00, the cancellation policy will apply starting with 12:00. The new cancellation policy rule is saved on the reservation. The service cancellation policy e-mail alert includes the time of service cancellation.

Starting with this version of AIDA, in Documents/Templates/Add templates/Voucher document type, a new document generation criteria is available - Project, as seen in the image below:
This new generation criteria allows to add different vouchers for different projects. Based on the reservations made, the same client can have 2 different vouchers, if the reservations are made for different projects which have different vouchers set.
