"The beauty of the Sell-It online system that we have chosen is that if you can see it, you can book it! Having researched other travel sites, the majority directed customers along a booking journey only to get to the actual point of booking and find that what they wanted was not in fact available. Above all, we wanted to have a site that avoids that frustrating pitfall and that is fresh, fast and uncomplicated.

The site's unique holiday browse capability and easy-to-use booking screens ensures that our customers can browse and book with confidence. I'm delighted that our own confidence in the Sell-It product and in its suppliers, RWA, has been borne out by the feedback and level of bookings that we have received since the site went live."

John Kinane, Managing Director of Sunworld

"The RWA Sell-it product we selected was delivered within a very short timescale. We're now able to facilitate that all-important step towards taking the holiday by providing a means through which to check availability then book on-line. The service, powered by RWA's Sell-it Suite, adds a whole new dimension to the raft of exciting products offered by Neilson and ensures it continues to exceed the expectations of all its most internet savvy guests.

Sell-It's unique holiday browse capability and easy-to-use booking screens ensure that our customers can browse and book with confidence.The proof is in the pudding and bookings are rolling in."

Pete Tyler, Managing Director of Neilson

Sell-It Suite supports and sells a wide variety of holiday products including charter and scheduled flights, hotels, villas, apartments, car rental, transfers, excursions, ski packs and insurance. Product inventory can be loaded and managed within Sell-It Reservator and combined with inventory accessible online from 3rd party suppliers. Holiday offers can be made available for sale via one or more channels - one or more web sites (using Sell-It Online) or via a Call Centre using Sell-It Reservator's Bookings Manager.

02. Product Flexibility
......................................

Tour Operator's continually stress the importance of "flexibility". With Sell-It Reservator, new offers can be created quickly utilising existing inventory e.g. "accommodation only" offers re-using existing bed stock, "family friendly" offers combining flights, hotels and kid's clubs and "romantic break" offers combining flights, hotels, champagne on arrival and a dinner-for two. Sell-It Reservator also enables the ability to easily create specific date-related offers utilising existing inventory and allocations e.g. "valentine's weekend" offers, "half term specials". This enables tour operators and agencies to move away from the traditional 'offers for the season' approach and compete more effectively with companies who specialise in these types of date-specific offerings.

03. Dynamic Packaging and Pricing
............................................................

Sell-It Suite supports the dynamic packaging of flight, accommodation and other holiday options e.g. car rental, transfers, city tours. Sell-It Reservator's Package Rules engine, allows the creation and management of rules stating how particular inventory elements can be packaged together and the price rules for these combinations.

04. Product Sales
..............................

Sell-It Suite supports both Business-to-Business (B2B) and Business-to-Consumer (B2C) product sales via both the telephone and the Internet. Sell-It Reservator's Bookings manager is a powerful call-centre/mid-office application enabling selling of packaged or component inventory via the telephone, and also providing the user interface for bookings amendment, cancellation, document production and general bookings administration. Internet sales support is provided by Sell-It Online. This product contains a fully featured internet booking engine, enabling the finding, choosing and booking of products contained in, or accessed via, Sell-It Reservator.

05. Product Distribution
.........................................

The Sell-It XML Gateway product provides all the rich browsing, searching and booking functionality contained within Sell-It Suite as a SOAP/Web-Services interface. These web services can be made available to 3rd parties for inclusion in their current web sites.

Sell-It Reservator's Finance Manager provides a complete solution for the financial management and control of travel sales operations.
