Patheo: PAL

PAL | Pathcon | TravelPath-Retail

Product Overview

PAL is a revolutionary Internet based product that greatly improves the travel agencies’ operations and significantly changes the way they do business. No longer do agents have to wait on hold for consolidators to obtain information. Instead, they can check fares and availability and book tickets all in one easy step. Moreover, by selling consolidator tickets, the travel agencies can dramatically increase their profit margins and grow their businesses. At a time where airlines continue to cut commissions, selling consolidator fares makes more sense than ever.

PAL provides a database of over 70 million U.S. consolidator fares. PAL is a powerful supplementary tool to facilitate the transaction between the travel agency and the consolidator. As more consolidator fares are added to Patheo’s database, PAL grows in its value to the travel agencies. Using PAL, travel agencies can purchase a consolidator ticket in less than 2 minutes. Conventionally, this transaction would take 2 to 3 hours.

WHAT YOU GET WITH PAL

PAL enables travel agents to more effectively sell consolidator tickets. PAL becomes extremely valuable during high travel season when travel agents are often on hold for more than thirty minutes.

The following are the greatest benefits of PAL:

PAL ALLOWS SUBSTANTIAL COST SAVINGS THROUGH ACCESSING THE INTERNET AS OPPOSED TO TRADITIONAL FARE RETRIEVAL THROUGH THE TELEPHONE.

There are many costs asso ciated w ith requesting fare information from the consolidators through the telephone. The actual dollar cost per fare request is substantial when we consider wages, telephone costs, human error, and cost of transaction verification. PAL cuts these costs dramatically. By empowering agents to work more effectively, the travel agencies will sell more tickets.

TRAVEL AGENCIES CAN GROW RAPIDLY THROUGH DEVELOPING INDEPENDENT CONTRACT RELATIONSHIPS WITH AGENTS WHO WORK FROM HOME.

Travel agencies can establish a network of independent contractors who work from home accessing their unique PAL accounts. With this strategy, a company with eight employees can grow to thirty employees within months.

The travel agencies can cut their operational costs by moving agents to their homes and consolidating offices by using PAL.

The travel agencies can achieve substantial savings in operational costs through PAL. By cutting the salary and overhead costs associated with having multiple offices, the travel agencies can save thousands of dollars in operational costs.
