ETW staff - Mumbai

QuadLabs has launched an online service Farepool.com that will help agents access the best deals from multiple suppliers at one place. A 24x7 online shop, FarePool.com is aimed exclusively at travel agents where they can access inventory from specialist suppliers across the world and agents can pick the most profitable fares, thereby earning better margins.

Farepool allows real-time bookings through a state-of-the-art booking engine which is connected electronically with all the suppliers. Agents can put markups and commissions for their customers and even print invoices with their logo and agency details. Intuitive user interface is an added advantage. Continuing with the list of features, Farepool.com offers flexible payment options wherein agents can work on prepaid basis or make real-time payments at the time of booking.

Industry experts have observed that Farepool.com has a unique agent centric approach that could go a long way in organising the highly fragmented travel distribution market in India. Farepool.com plugs a key gap in the distribution marketplace by its philosophy of 'Agent First', a unique approach where the focus is on getting the agent the best deals on all the products that he may be selling. The agent does not have to maintain cumbersome multiple supplier relationships; instead he has a single relationship which gets him the best deals. These are significant benefits for the agents in today's highly competitive market.
