MASTER TOUR

The software package consists of several workstations:

Formation of a tourist product;
- sale and registration of tour packages;
- work with partners;
- work on the Internet;
- RM cashier (RM - workplace);
- RM financial director;
- PM of the base administrator.
- sending faxes;
- Sending faxes via the Internet;
- sending messages by E-Mail;
- statistical reports on the database;

We can say that the software package allows you to implement almost all the functions necessary for the functioning of the tourist office. The software package allows you to: generate a tourist product, calculate the expected profit on the tour and the amount of commission for the agent, arrange any number of tourists for any tour in one or more tour packages, print the entire package of necessary documents (tourist vouchers, various lists of tourists, vouchers, questionnaires to embassies, financial reporting forms, etc.), control the conduct of the tour. The software package allows you to quote any services that make up the tour, which eliminates the possibility of resale. The software package allows you to track the progress of payment for the tour and assess the current financial condition of the company. The software package implements a multi-currency mode, that is, when describing a tour, you can determine the cost of services in various currencies.
All reports are made in MS Word or MS Excel format, which is very convenient for travel agency staff.

The following interfaces are implemented in the program:

With E-Mail messaging programs that support MAPI - interface;
- with the fax distribution program "Delrina WinFax Pro".
- with system of distribution of faxes through the Internet "Global-Fax".
- exchange between "Megatek" products using XML "MasterML".

Advantages.

- main advantage : "Master Tour" is a really working program. To date, the total number of tourists conducted through the program in different companies is approaching the figure of 500,000.

- "Master Tour" is a universal and very flexible program. It allows you to work with both group and individual tours of any complexity. The developers of the program guarantee that they will be able to generate and calculate any tour used by the travel agency.

- "Master-Tour" allows you to quote and track the load of any service that makes up the tour, and not just air travel or hotel accommodation. In fact, the program allows you to control the passage of the tour at the level of any service included in it.

- "Master Tour" has a fairly simple interface close to the interface of standard Microsoft products.

Already today "Master-Tour" can work in a remote access mode in real time (for example, via the Internet).

Currently, "Master-Tour" is becoming a standard in the automation of travel companies.

- "Master Tour" is used as a basis for further projects related to the automation of the tourism business.

Short description.

Perhaps today you can’t find a tourist office that doesn’t have at least one computer. But few people think about the fact that this is quite expensive equipment used in most cases only as an ordinary typewriter. The product of the Megatek company, the MASTER-TOUR software package, is an attempt to change this situation.

"MASTER TOUR" is a software package that turns the work of a tourist office employee of any rank into creativity: you always have at your fingertips any information about each tour, each client, each partner and mutual settlements; accuracy in performing tour calculations; instant filling of any standard forms of documents: questionnaires, booking sheets, vouchers, rumming sheets, tourist vouchers and so on.

The philosophy of the program is based on the concept of not a tour, but a service - a small "brick" that, together with other services, makes up the program of any tour. Moreover, any other tour or package (a set of services provided by the host tour operator) can become such a "brick" (functional element), if they are included in the program of another, more complex tour. Such a composition allows the manager, while working with the client, to add, or if it is allowed by the senior tour manager to remove, any service even from the standard tour program.

The program can be conditionally divided into five functional blocks.

The first and main block - "Tour Designer" - is designed to create packages of services and tour programs ready for implementation, calculate their cost, calculate profits, commissions, etc., and each service, for example, the cost of staying at a hotel, can be different and depend on the host tour operator or even the package in which the accommodation in this hotel is used in combination with these services and transfers. By entering "net" prices for services, changing the profit or "gross" prices, the manager gets the opportunity to calculate the cost of the collected block (tour) by different seasons, evaluate the competitiveness of the tour and, as a result, form the optimal tour. It should be noted that the program has a flexible pricing mechanism that allows you to distinguish between prices for services sold to the client in a package or individually, prices for the same services offered by different partners, as well as the amount of commission given to partners when selling a tour.

The second block of the software package is "Implementation of the tourist product". By quickly compiling a tour at the individual request of the client or by calling the standard tour program (while selling the tour, the client can be shown a graphical view of any service included in the tour - a view of the hotel, hotel room or attractions included in the tour program). By entering the passport data of clients, the manager gets the opportunity to generate all the documents necessary for registration (contracts, vouchers, lists of tourists, questionnaires to the embassy, ​​etc.) automatically. All reports are made in the format of the popular Microsoft Word for Windows editor, which makes it easy to edit them if necessary. In addition, the program has a built-in mode of sending faxes via modem. Any of your documents can, if necessary, be sent to one or more places at a convenient time for you. If you have chosen delayed faxing, the program will start sending your faxes to the numbers you need at the specified time.

The third block "Working with partners" - allows you to create a database of your partners, information from which is used by the fax distribution wizard, each partner can be assigned certain characteristics, assign commissions depending on the tour.

The fourth block of the software complex is "Financial condition". The program allows the cashier to print out credit / debit orders, invoices, various financial reporting documents, export data to the 1C Accounting program, makes it possible to control mutual settlements with partners and clients' payments for tours, assess the real financial condition of the company at a given point in time.

The fifth block of the software package is "Administrator". This block of the program should help your company to organize safe work. You can define the rights of work in the software package for each employee of the company - from determining which modes an employee can work with, to which tours, countries or individual services he has permission. In this part of the program, you have the opportunity to set up templates for output documents (reports).

The sixth block of the software package is for reference. In this section, countries, cities and hotels are formed. Your manager can easily add a new category - any other directory.

The program has, in our opinion, a nice graphical interface, where all modes are interconnected. For example, during the design of the tour, the manager can access the database of partners and refresh the graphic images of the hotels intended to be included in the tour.

Within the program, the possibility of remote access agency - operator is implemented, which allows the manager of a travel agency, by connecting to the server of the tour operator, to assess the availability and make a reservation.

The structure of the program allows it to become a universal tool for automating any tourist office - from a travel agency to the largest tour operator.

The cost of the program includes about 40 standard types of documents (reports) - these are all kinds of lists, booking sheets, tourist vouchers, resettlement sheets (rooming sheets), statistical reports, questionnaires to embassies and other reports that are easily customized for a specific company.

The complex is designed to assist the manager when working with clients of the travel agency:

• choice of a standard or selection of an individual route;
• selection of the tour period;
• formation of tourist questionnaires;
• booking tour services;
• registration of discounts, commissions, surcharges and the formation of the total cost of the tour for the client or partner.

The complex is provided with directories of partners, hotels, flights, services, prices, blocks of hotel rooms, blocks of places on transport and blocks of places on the tour. Based on the selections from the directories, the formation of service packages is implemented - a description of the tour route, a set of services at each point of the route, the creation of races.

At the request of customers, a voucher, a TUR-1 voucher, air tickets, insurance policies, questionnaires to embassies for obtaining a visa, booking applications and lists of tourists are printed.

The client's order has the status "paid - not paid", which allows you to control payment for any period of time, including for the partner and for the guru in general. On the basis of requests, accounting documents are generated - an invoice, an invoice, an incoming cash order. Based on the documents, a sales book is formed. Paid orders are included in the sales book.

The application base is used for statistical analysis and advertising effectiveness analysis in particular.

The complex has the ability to connect to the Internet for remote processing of applications for travel agents by a tour operator. The Windows SQL Server program is used as a query processing tool for teamwork.

Software complex Master-Tour

The purpose of the complex is similar to the previous one. The complex allows you to create a tourist product, calculate the expected profit from the sale of the tour and the size of the agent's commission, complete groups of tourists, generate the entire set of documents for processing the sale of services: air travel, transfer, hotel accommodation, several excursions, visas, insurance and tour-specific Additional services. The complex is implemented in the form of two modules: tourist and financial. Tourist module implements the functions of forming and implementing a tourist product, working with partners and accessing the Internet. In administrator mode, access rights to the infobase are differentiated - a sales manager, as a rule, gets the right only to sell, but not to create a finished product. Financial module is designed to generate statements of settlements with agents, partners, reflect the movement of funds at the cash desk, assess costs and financial results for the arrival and the whole enterprise. The company's SQL Server program is used as a query processing tool for teamwork. centura.

KomTUR software package

Provider companies CJSC "Comstar" and CJSC "MTU-Intel" unite to provide customers with comprehensive services. One of the acute tasks is the preparation of solutions focused on individual industries. It is the absence of such that Western analysts call the main problem of ASP. Indeed, if the ASP model is the implementation of the slogan "Buy and use", then such a model is implemented on the example of the tourism industry and the Comtour project (comtour.ru). The company "Integration Technologies in Commerce" (Intekhnokom) has released a fundamentally new tourist system. AIS "Comtour" combines the functions of an intra-office tour operator program with the capabilities of electronic trading platforms. World trends in the development of the tourism industry and the growth rate of the use of electronic means of communication indicate that any "local" solutions will become obsolete tomorrow. The task was set: using the Internet, to convey information to where it is needed - to a travel agent and a potential traveler. At the same time, to simplify the search and booking in real time of electronic tours, which are presented in the form of familiar price lists, as much as possible.

Implementation:

In order to implement the program in your office, you must follow a few simple rules:

Allocate a computer for the server application (not necessarily a dedicated server, a regular computer is enough).

Develop rules for working with the program for employees (what actions should employees perform when working with a voucher, with a tourist, who must enter daily exchange rates and maintain contracts). So that in the absence of any manager, other employees can quickly understand his applications and take the necessary actions. To do this, you need to describe in detail the information on the application, note its status and payment.

Set up the correct access rights for each employee, which will ensure the security of your database.

Enter full information about clients, hotels, partners and suppliers into the program database. This will help you in your future work.

Think in advance which documents and their templates you will need in your work (contracts, application forms, acts, reporting to suppliers, etc.). Various forms are already included in the program, but their content may differ from your requirements. To do this, you can use the built-in editor to change required document or order it from us.
