GuestLogix Announces Latest t-Retail Platform Release With Branded Fares and Air Ancillary Bundles
Latest OpenJaw Release (15A) Enables Airlines to Grow Revenues via Dynamic, Omni-Channel Retailing of Air Ancillary Products; Augments Current Leadership Position in Airline Retailing Innovation
(firmenpresse) - TORONTO, ONTARIO -- (Marketwired) -- 03/18/15 -- GuestLogix Inc. (TSX: GXI), the leading global provider of ancillary-focused merchandising, payment and business intelligence technology to airlines and the passenger travel industry, today announced that via its newly acquired subsidiary OpenJaw Technologies, its t-Retail Platform''s latest release provides support for Branded Fares and dynamic Air Ancillary Bundles.
Branded Fares enable airlines to up-sell to a bundle of flight and air ancillaries such as baggage, seat upgrades and onboard meals to create differentiated products, unique to the airline brand, thereby driving revenue growth opportunities.
Through the application of merchandising rules and key data such as flight and customer profile, the t-Retail Platform enables airlines to dynamically offer customers the most compelling Air Ancillary Bundle. The t-Retail Platform delivers seamless, omni-channel retailing across the entire customer journey at any touch point such as in the booking path, within mobile applications, via the travel operator''s Contact Centre, in-flight and post-booking customer communications.
"The marketing of fares as meaningful customer propositions continues to develop and evolve. Airlines from both ends of the spectrum, low cost carriers and traditional carriers alike, have recognized that branding of fares and bundling of relevant attributes are a more effective route to growing ancillary revenues than a constantly expanding ''tick list'' of options," commented Mike Moore, Managing Partner, Travel Technology Research Ltd. "T2RL forecasts further growth by airlines in associated technology investments to support this trend of increasing sophistication in merchandising techniques."
The t-Retail Platform fully supports:
"Over the last several years, airlines have increasingly turned to air ancillary merchandising to counteract the pressures associated with increased competition and rising costs," said Kieron Branagan, Managing Director, OpenJaw Technologies. "The latest 15A release of the t-Retail Platform enables the full remit of ancillary retailing so that airlines can leverage the opportunities presented by their unique brand."
The merchandising of high volume air ancillaries and Bundles augments the t-Retail Platform''s market-leading capabilities for flight shopping, ground ancillary retailing, and dynamic packaging - for revenue and redemption. By combining these capabilities into a single platform, the t-Retail Platform uniquely supports the complete set of an airline''s merchandising needs.
