GDS: What is GDS, and How Can It Help Me?

GDS stands for Global Distribution System, and is a reservation tool which can be used for travel service bookings of any sort. GDS is more than just a reservation system though; it is also a communication channel. InteliSys’ flagship product, ameliaRES, has full GDS integration built-in. ameliaRES GDS can be used to handle booking of reservations, and also to communicate with other parties. Whether you operate an airline, a hotel, a travel agency, a tour group or some other tourism related service, you can use GDS to streamline your operations. ameliaRES is ideal for airlines which want to improve their communication and visibility with travel agencies and save time, money and overhead on their booking procedures.

The earliest computer reservation systems were created solely for use by airlines, but starting in the 70s some airlines began extending access to travel agencies. Using ameliaRES, an airline can provide automated information and services to related travel vendors. This includes not only travel agencies but also rent-a-car companies, hotels and tour groups. Travel agencies will be able to sell tickets for your airline and book flights for passengers who might never otherwise have chosen to use your airline, which means a huge expansion in outreach and sales.

Literally hundreds of thousands of points of sale can be added to your airline’s market access. Using GDS, a travel agency can view interactive real time data on airline seats and availability and make direct sales of open seats. Travel agencies can even distribute boarding passes to customers. This allows the airline to save a lot of time and overhead on marketing and concentrate on other aspects of operations. It helps the travel agency by streamlining their operations in turn; having up-to-the-second information available saves time and makes sales much easier. Everyone benefits; the airline and travel agencies both make more money with less effort, which enables them to pass those savings on to the customer.

ameliaRES provides you with GDS capability and also makes it easy to send and receive messages through the communication system. Manual work is greatly reduced. IATA standard messages, including AVS messaging in response to bookings and reopenings of flights, are processed instantly.

Not only does GDS help an airline to adapt, but InteliSys itself constantly adapts to the changing market and emerging technologies available for computer reservation systems. This means that ameliaRES is regularly updated with improvements which allow it to meet or exceed the capabilities of competing software.
