Trisept Solutions Creates Distribution Solution for Mark International
Trisept’s VAX XML provides seamless connectivity between Mark International inventory and Gilboa
 
MILWAUKEE, WI Apr. 19, 2004 - Tour operators throughout Europe can now easily access Mark International’s vast hotel inventory via Gilboa travel/tourism management software for travel agencies, wholesalers and charter operators, thanks to Trisept’s VAX XML technology.
 

Mark International is an inbound receptive operator that specializes in FIT, group travel and other services to over 120 destinations throughout USA, Mexico, Canada, and Europe. Mark International’s breadth of hotel inventory is significant: contracting over 6,000 rooms each night in Las Vegas, over 3,000 rooms per night in Mexico, and over 2,000 rooms per night in Florida. In spite of its size and buying power, Mark International’s inventory was cumbersome for partners to access – until now.

 

“In the past tour operators had to manually make duplicate reservations, once in their system and once in ours, to book our products,” said Michael Ricco, vice president of Mark International. “Now, operators are able to enjoy a direct connection to our hotel inventory through user friendly systems, Gilboa.”
 
Trisept Solutions made the data transfer possible by providing an XML API (application protocol interface). Galor Systems & Software Development Ltd. is the first company to adopt VAX XML for their popular product, Gilboa. VAX XML presents an efficient, accurate, and quick solution for international tour operators to access a wide, breadth of travel product. It also allows for current, real-time updates to inventory availability, pricing, and booking data.
 

“We’re thrilled with the results,” said Ricco. “It’s only been two months, and Gilboa is already a substantial portion of our total distribution. Gilboa hosts over 700 sites and has over 5,000 travel agent-users worldwide, making this a significant achievement for Mark International,” said Ricco. “Reaction has been very positive. Tour operators enjoy easy, convenient access to a greater variety of hotel inventory and now have the tremendous customer support from Mark International for which we are known."
