Travel management network Lufthansa City Center has signed a
global partnership with the UK’s Snowstorm Technologies to give LCC’s 500
member agencies around the world access to the tech provider’s OneWurld desktop booking platform.
The OneWurld platform brings together content from the GDS,
NDC, low-cost carriers, bed banks, OTAs and direct connect APIs. Access to the
same content is offered to travellers at corporate clients through the company’s
OneCorporate self-booking tool, which is aimed at the SME market. The tech provider also offers a collaboration tool to manage these bookings.
The platform allows agencies to manage margins and provides a
full business intelligence and reporting suite to understand what the key
profit drivers are.
“The place of an agent in the purchasing chain is more
important than ever and we are delighted that Lufthansa City Center are the
latest in a growing list of industry leading networks to recognise the power of
our platform and adopt it for their members globally,” said Riaz Pisani, chief strategy
officer of OneWurld.
