Pegasus Expands in EMEA with Interface Technologies
UltraDirect® Contract with Interface Technologies to Provide Distribution Options for
Tourism Organizations and Small- to Medium-sized Hotel Clients
|
DALLAS (Jan. 22, 2008) – Pegasus Solutions,
Inc. has signed an agreement to provide its
UltraDirect distribution technology to Interface
Technologies, a France-based technology provider for
the tourism and hospitality industries.
With the agreement, Pegasus will facilitate
distribution to and for travel agents, tourism
organizations, destination management offices and
online agencies, which would otherwise not be able
to work with Pegasus directly due to financial,
operational or size limitations. These organizations
will now benefit from Pegasus’ UltraDirect
connection with Interface Technologies’ Reservit
platform, according to Tim Unwin, vice president of
reservation services for Pegasus.
“Interface Technologies works with a broad range of
tourism organizations both in France and globally
that we wanted to help break through to the benefits
of UltraDirect distribution,” said Unwin. “By
tapping the company’s Reservit as an onward
distribution platform, Pegasus also establishes a
new, valuable level of customer that would otherwise
be unavailable to connect with Pegasus.”
Interface Technologies will connect to UltraDirect
to link to Pegasus’ portfolio of more than 86,000
hotel properties, allowing real-time access to
information on rates, availability and reservations.
This includes immediate confirmation of booking and
cancellation requests, security to protect
negotiated rates, and simple modification of
reservations, all important features according to
Laurent Fabre, CEO of Interface Technologies.
“With UltraDirect, we can now offer seamless
connection to hotel central reservation systems,
including detailed property data and images from
Pegasus’ Online Distribution Database,” said Fabre.
“The customization allows agents, tourism
organizations and destination management offices to
offer customers convenient and tailored services.”
