Specialist tour operator systems provider Travelink
has introduced a suite of price management tools designed to help operators achieve greater profitability and compete more effectively across a variety of sales channels.The range caters for tactical, operational and strategic pricing as well as mark-up management.  All these tools are available immediately.

The tactical tool allows operators to vary the price of many products according to demand or circumstance.  Prices can be adjusted immediately and are visible in real time across all of the sales channels in which the operator has a presence.  The product could be used to create special offers at short notice or to help an operator react to competitor initiatives.

Operators can use the strategic pricing tool to vary the price of some products according to the sales channel.  This can be used to drive sales through specific channels, such as a call centre or an online booking site. 

“It’s all about flexible yield management” said David Jones, Travelink’s managing director.  “Tour operators can react speedily to developments by, for example, dropping product prices online while maintaining them in call centres or on Viewdata.”
