Frankfurt, Germany, January 29, 2008� Trust International,
a global provider of technology and distribution solutions for the hospitality
industry, launched a new version of its CRS Trust|Voyager. With Release
11 of the CRS suite of products, Trust continues its strong commitment
to ongoing development and customized improvement of its software for its
hotel group customers.
The main feature of the new release is the much broader flexibility
in managing rates and availability. Trust has enhanced the CRS�s renowned
Superior Rate Codes concept that allows linking to newly created codes
for speedy rate structure set up by hotel staff. The enhanced version
offers additional flexibility in linking rates, as well as a new treatment
of auto-calculated lowest available rates (LAR), to save hotel groups significant
additional time and effort.
Release 11 enhancements also include new features for the hotels display
in the GDSs, e.g. in the total pricing module, and allow more distribution
opportunities with Trust´s direct connect channels through extended
rate displays. The upgrades enhance Trust|Voyager´s ease of use by
offering various options for managing inventory and monitoring a property�s
status and room/rate categories. The interface to customer relationship
management (CRM) systems allows the import of customer profile data into
the reservation process of the CRS, saving time and effort. Users of the
Serenata Nethotel product can now smoothly link their CRM database with
the central reservation office (CRO) module from Trust.
�The enhancements and new features are great complements to the existing
functionality and will help our hotels to further optimize and simplify
their electronic distribution efforts,� said Jon D. Londeen, Senior Vice
President, Reservations Management for Leading Hotels of the World. �We
are pleased that Trust values user input and uses it as the most important
source for system enhancements.�
�The new release of Trust|Voyager illustrates our substantial investment
in ongoing product development with the prioritization and content of enhancements
heavily weighted by a close working relationship with our customer base
and market demands,� said Richard Wiegmann, Chief Operating Officer, Trust
International. �We strongly believe in upgrades to proven systems, rather
than trying to migrate clients from new system to new system whenever a
change in functionality is needed. Our approach allows us to listen to
our clients� needs and present enhancements and customized features that
benefit all without inconveniencing our customers or compromising the product�s
leading performance.�
