You could be saving
To estimate cost savings for travel agencies, the Saving Calculator uses the info you will enter in the Column "Your current workflow" with your own internal values. The present values are just an example, so we encourage you to use your own internal values. The Saving Calculator was developed after hundreds of implementations in more than 45 countries.
